CONDUCTIVE PARTICLES AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME

摘要

Each conductive particle of the present invention has a coating layer, which is formed of a conductive tin oxide containing a dopant element, on the surface of a core material. The dopant element is eccentrically located in the surface-side portion of the coating layer. It is preferable for the conductive particle to have a BET specific surface area of from 20 m2/g to 50 m2/g (inclusive) and a volume resistivity of from 1.0 × 100 Ω·cm to 1.0 × 103 Ω·cm (inclusive). It is also preferable that the amount of the dopant element in the coating layer gradually decreases from the surface side toward the core material side of the coating layer.
