Silver Ag Nanopowder Water Dispersion (Ag, 15 nm, 50000ppm) is a highly concentrated colloidal solution of silver nanoparticles in water. Here’s what it involves:
- Key Features:
- Silver (Ag): The main component is silver, well-known for its antimicrobial, conductive, and catalytic properties.
- Nanoparticles: These particles are ultra-small, with an average diameter of 15 nanometers (nm), resulting in high reactivity due to their increased surface area and nanoscale effects.
- Water Dispersion: The nanoparticles are evenly dispersed in water, forming a stable suspension that prevents aggregation or settling.
- Concentration: The dispersion has a very high concentration of 50000 ppm (parts per million), which is equivalent to 50 grams of silver nanoparticles per liter of solution.
- Properties:
- Small Particle Size: The 15 nm size ensures enhanced surface reactivity and performance in various applications.
- High Stability: Stabilizers are typically added to ensure that the nanoparticles remain uniformly dispersed.
- Increased Potency: The higher concentration provides a more significant dose of active silver, making it particularly effective for applications requiring a strong antimicrobial or catalytic presence.
- Applications:
- Antimicrobial Coatings: Suitable for surfaces, medical devices, and textiles to prevent microbial growth, especially in high-risk environments.
- Electronics: Used in manufacturing highly conductive inks and pastes for advanced electronic components.
- Water Purification: Ideal for advanced filtration systems requiring high silver content to combat bacteria and viruses.
- Industrial Catalysis: Applied in processes that benefit from a high concentration of silver for efficient chemical reactions.
- Research and Development: Utilized in cutting-edge nanotechnology and material science studies due to its enhanced properties.
- Handling and Safety:
- Toxicity: The higher concentration increases potential toxicity risks; proper handling is critical.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dark environment to preserve stability and prevent particle degradation.
- Precautions: Always use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles, lab coats) and handle the dispersion in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood.
Due to its high concentration, this material is best suited for specialized applications requiring significant silver content.
