Abstract:
Provided is a method of manufacturing a conductive metal thin film, the method including: a) heating and stirring a first solution containing a metal precursor, acid, amine, and a reducing agent to synthesize metal nano-particles on which formation of a surface oxide film is suppressed; b) dispersing the metal nano-particles synthesize in step a) in a non-aqueous solvent to prepare a conductive ink composition; c) applying the conductive ink composition onto an insulating substrate; and d) heat-treating the insulating substrate applied with the ink composition to form a conductive metal thin film. With the method of manufacturing a conductive metal thin film according to the present invention, large area conductive thin film may be manufactured as compared with the existing conductive ink composition based on noble metal nano-particles. In addition, the conductive metal thin film having excellent conductivity may be manufactured by suppressing a surface oxide film from being formed.
Abstract:
Metal nanoparticles according to the present invention have at least a bimodal size distribution in which the ratio obtained by dividing the area of a first peak, which has the smallest median size on the basis of the median size of peaks in the size distribution of the metal nanoparticles, by the total area of all peaks constituting the size distribution meets 0.4-0.8, and are capped with a capping layer containing an organic acid.
