Abstract:
A method for synthesizing a copper-silver alloy includes an ink preparation step, a coating step, a crystal nucleus formation step and a crystal nucleus synthesis step. In the ink preparation step, a copper salt particle, an amine-based solvent, and a silver salt particle are mixed, thereby preparing a copper-silver ink. In the coating step, a member to be coated is coated with the copper-silver ink. In the crystal nucleus formation step, at least one of a crystal nucleus of copper having a crystal grain diameter of 0.2 μm or less and a crystal nucleus of silver having a crystal grain diameter of 0.2 μm or less is formed from the copper-silver ink. In the crystal nucleus synthesis step, the crystal nucleus of copper and the crystal nucleus of silver are synthesized.

Abstract:
A silver particle synthesizing method includes reducing a dispersant from first silver particles each covered with the dispersant to obtain second silver particles. The method further includes synthesizing third silver particles each having a larger particle diameter than the second silver particles by causing a reaction between a silver compound and a reductant in a liquid phase containing the second silver particles.

Abstract:
First, a liquid mixture is obtained by mixing at least a silver compound, a reductant, and a dispersant (S1). Then, the liquid mixture is heated to cause reaction between the silver compound and the reductant and generate first silver particles each having a sheet-like or plate-like shape and second silver particles each having a spherical shape or a shape closer to a sphere than the first silver particles and a particle diameter smaller than a maximum value of a length of a side of each of the first silver particles (S2).
