Synthesis and characterization of copper sulfide nanocrystallites with low sintering temperatures
Jun Shan, Petri Pulkkinen, Ulla Vainio, Juha Maijala, Juha Merta, Hua Jiang, Ritva Serimaa, Esko Kauppinen and Heikki Tenhu,
J. Mater. Chem., 2008, 18, 3200
DOI: 10.1039/b803547d
Copper sulfide nanocrystallites (<1.5 nm) undergo significant consolidation in the temperature range from 100 to 240 °C, with the sintered particles exhibiting a resistivity of 1 × 10-5 (
m), and can be used as a semiconductive nano-inks.
Inkjet-printed silver tracks: low temperature curing and thermal stability investigation
By Jolke Perelaer, Antonius W. M. de Laat, Chris E. Hendriks and Ulrich S. Schubert,
J. Mater. Chem., 2008, 18, 3209
DOI: 10.1039/b720032c
A silver particle ink for inkjet applications was formulated that shows a curing temperature as low as 80 °C. With this ink, conductive silver tracks can be prepared on polymeric foils that have a very low Tg, like PET. Furthermore, the thermal stability of silver tracks, prepared by inkjet printing different colloidal silver suspensions, was investigated. Hereto, the resistance was on-line measured during heating of the silver tracks, from room temperature to 650 °C.

A new (tetraisopropyldithioimidodiphosphinato)silver(I), trinuclear complex has been synthesised and its X-ray single crystal structure has been determined. The structure consists of two independent trimeric units with chair and half-chair conformations. Deposition by AACVD from this precursor produced thin films of either silver sulfide and silver or pure silver depending upon the growth temperature.
