Stabilised silver nanoparticles and their use

摘要

A process comprising reacting a silver compound with a reducing agent comprising a hydrazine compound in the presence of a thermally removable stabilizer in a reaction mixture comprising the silver compound, the reducing agent, the stabilizer, and an optional solvent, to form a plurality of silver containing nanoparticles with molecules of the stabilizer on the surface of the silver containing nanoparticles.
