Abstract:

A conductive structure is provided. The conductive ink composition includes a silver complex formed by mixing a silver carboxylate, at least one dissolving agent that dissolves the silver carboxylate, and a catalyst. The catalyst includes an amine that decarboxylates the silver carboxylate to make the conductive ink composition. The catalyst decarboxylates the silver carboxylate at a temperature of 100 C. or less. An ink composition comprising a metallic salt with a sterically bulky counter ion and a ligand is also provided. An ink composition for making a conductive structure, comprising a reducible metal complex formed by mixing: a reducing agent, wherein the reducing agent is dissolved in a dissolving agent; and at least one metal salt or metal complex comprising a Group 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 metal, wherein the reducing agent reduces the metal to forms the conductive structure is further provided.

Abstract:

A particle-free gold-complex based ink is described wherein a gold carboxylate is complexed with an amine. Upon heating the solution, the gold cation catalyzes the oxidative amidation of the amine with the carboxylate to form a short chain or polymeric amide while simultaneously reducing the gold cation to metallic gold. This method is extremely versatile and allows for both the preparation of pure metallic gold films as well as polymer gold composites with unique properties.
