The demand for conductive paste in the photovoltaic industry and electronic packaging field is undergoing a transformation from high silver content to low silver or even silver free. Although silver powder has excellent conductivity and chemical stability, it is expensive, has limited resources, and is prone to electromigration. In contrast, copper's conductivity is second only to silver and its c...

With the rapid development of modern industry and technology, different industries have increasingly high performance requirements for powder materials. In addition to having extremely low impurity content, fine particle size, and narrow particle size distribution, powder materials also need to have a certain particle morphology. Spherical powders have been widely used in high-end industries such ...

What are nanoparticles? Nanoparticles (NPs) are typically defined as granular materials with at least one dimension at the nanoscale (1-100 nm) in three-dimensional space. From the dimensions of structure and morphology, nanoparticles can be classified into zero dimensional nanomaterials (0D nanomaterials), corresponding to one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials. 0D nanopartic...

Why do nanoparticles aggregate? 1.Surface free energy driven mechanism Nanoparticles have a larger specific surface area and unsaturated surface atoms, leading to an increase in surface free energy. Multi particle contact can reduce the total surface area, release interfacial energy, and thus lower the system's free energy. This trend of energy minimization is the intrinsic thermodynamic driving f...

1.Characterization of particle size and distribution Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS): DLS is one of the most commonly used techniques for measuring the particle size and distribution of nanoparticles in suspensions. It calculates the hydrodynamic diameter of particles by measuring the time-dependent light scattering intensity fluctuations caused by Brownian motion of particles. DLS can also provide...
