Silver nanoparticles are sized between 100 nm to 1 nm and are often used as silver oxide rather than pure silver. One of the key physical properties of using silver nanoparticles is that their structures can be easily arranged depending on the application that they are needed for. More often than not, it is spherical silver nanoparticles are utilized in most applications, while other forms such as octagonal and diamond are ... Read more
Silver nanoparticles possess novel electrical, optical, and thermal properties and find application in a wide array of products such as photovoltaics and chemical and biological sensors. Conductive inks, pastes, and fillers, for instance, use silver nanoparticles due to their excellent electrical conductivity, stability, and low sintering temperatures. Silver nanoparticles are also used in molecular diagnostics and photonic devices, which leverage novel optical properties of these ... Read more
