Improvement of the thermal stability of dendritic silver-coated copper microparticles by surface modification based on molecular self-assembly

Abstract: In the study reported herein, silver-coated copper (Ag/Cu) powder was modified with alkanethiols featuring alkyl chains of different lengths, namely butyl, octyl, and dodecyl, to improve its thermal stability. The modification of the Ag/Cu powders with adsorbed alkanethiols was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Each powder was combined with an epoxy resin to prepare an electrically conductive film. Th… Show more

“…As a functional material, silver at the micronano level shows a structure between crystalline and amorphous states, exhibits a modified surface molecular arrangement and crystal structure, and features enhanced surface activity [ 1 ]. The ultrafine silver powder shows spherical (or quasispherical), flake-like, dendritic, and microcrystalline morphologies [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Additionally, the micronano silver powder exhibits excellent performance in the fields of sound, light, electricity, magnetism, heat, and catalysis due to its small particle size, large specific surface area, high surface activity, and good catalytic activity.…”

“…A typical ECA consists of a polymer matrix and one type of conductive llers. The polymer matrix provides the adhesive ability, and the conductive llers contribute to the electrical conductivity [4]. Due to stable chemical property and excellent conductive performance, silver (Ag) becomes the most widely used conductive ller in ECAs [5].…”

“…It has also been reported that even minor defects formed via heating and ultrasonic treatment participate in catalytic activity and provide stability. Dangling bonds due to the defects also play an important role in the catalytic reaction because they facilitate contact with important materials in applications [ 44 , 45 ].…”
