SILVER POWDER, METHOD FOR PRODUCING SILVER POWDER, AND CONDUCTIVE PASTE

摘要

The present invention provides a method for producing silver powder having a low chlorine content, and a conductive paste containing the resulting silver powder. When a reducing agent solution is mixed with a solution containing a silver complex, which has been obtained as a result of dissolution of silver chloride by a complexing agent, and the silver complex is thereby reduced to obtain silver powder, an organic compound having hydrophilic groups that form cations when ionized in water is added to the reducing agent solution and/or the solution containing the silver complex such that preferential adsorption of the organic compound which takes priority over chlorine on the surface of the silver particles is promoted and the adsorption of the chlorine is inhibited.
