From the data, it can be seen that, compared with example 1, in the comparative example 1, diethanolamine, which is an auxiliary dispersant, is not added in the preparation process of the nano silver powder, so that the surface tension of the prepared nano silver conductive ink is greatly increased, the viscosity is also increased, and the pH value is reduced, which indicates that after the auxiliary dispersant is added, the stability of the nano silver particles in the aqueous solvent is improved, which is helpful for improving the fluidity of the conductive ink, protecting silver from being oxidized in the storage process, and realizing smooth ink jet. After the auxiliary dispersing agent is added, the surface tension of the conductive ink is reduced, the adhesion on the flexible base material is enhanced, the conductivity after heat treatment is higher, and the conductivity is better.
The conductive ink in the comparative example 2 is not added with the cosolvent ethylene glycol in the preparation process, and the surface tension and the viscosity of the conductive ink in the comparative example 2 are greatly improved compared with those in the example 2, which shows that the ethylene glycol cosolvent added in the invention can reduce the viscosity and the surface tension of the conductive ink, prevent the blockage of a spray head caused by the too fast volatilization of the solvent, and realize the smooth ink jet. After the cosolvent is added, the surface tension of the conductive ink is reduced, the adhesion on the flexible base material is enhanced, the conductivity after heat treatment is higher, and the conductivity is better.
In conclusion: according to the ink-jet nano silver conductive ink and the preparation method thereof, the reasonable component proportion is adopted, the surface tension of the nano silver conductive ink at room temperature is reduced to 32.9mN/m from 71.97mN/m of pure water, the nano silver conductive ink can be smoothly spread on a photographic paper substrate, the viscosity and pH value parameters of the conductive ink are reasonable, and the ink requirements of subsequent ink-jet printing are met.
