We report the synthesis of AgNP@PEDOT:PSS hybrid conductive particles with silver cores and polythiophene shells that can be used to formulate sinter-free inks for printing electronics. First, Ag nanocrystals capped with the weakly bound ligand aminohexanoic acid (ϵ-Ahx) are prepared. The ligand shell is exchanged by reacting the dispersion...

We describe the gram-scale synthesis of hybrid gold nanoparticles with a shell of conductive polymers. A large-scale synthesis of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNP@CTAB) was followed by ligand exchange with conductive polymers based on thiophene in a 10 L reactor equipped with a jacket to ensure a...
