Optimization of the Silver Nanoparticles Synthesis and Printing a Conductive Pattern

Authors

Abstract

In this study, the parameters affecting the synthesis of silver nanoparticles were optimized by green chemical reduction method to make a conductive pattern. The raw materials used in this study, include silver nitrate as a source of
silver ions, polyvinylpyrrolidone as surface stabilizer, and glucose as the reducing agent. Effective parameters were investigated
by Taguchi statistical design, to determine the optimum conditions and achieve the smallest average particle size. Silver nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The smallest particle size can be applied by solution adding rate of 0.1 ml/min, temperature 90 °C, weight ratio of glucose to silver nitrate 3 g/g and weight ratio of Polyvinylpyrrolidone to silver nitrate 3.2 g/g. According to.our expectation 20 nm silver nanoparticles were obtained in this condition. FE-SEM confirmed the above results and showed nanoparticles with a size of 25 nm. Finally, A conductive pattern was printed on a glass substrate with synthesized powder. The electrical resistance of the printed pattern was 0.088× 10 -4 Ω.cm.
