Metal Extracts as Precursors for the Production of Metal Powders and Coatings via the Extraction-Pyrolytic Method

详细

The extraction of copper, silver, bismuth, and nickel with carboxylic acids thus providing concentrated metal-containing organic solutions and their crystalline salts has been studied. Micron- and submicron-sized metal powders have been obtained via reduction of these metals carboxylates by heating in benzyl alcohol or ethylene glycol. The synthesis of aspherical silver nanoparticles has been achieved by the reduction of a liquid extract of silver neodecanoate in benzyl alcohol. The possibility of the use of concentrated silver-containing solutions as inks for obtaining of electroconductive images has been demonstrated.
