Description
Silver-2, 4-Pentanedionate (also known as Silver acetylacetonate) is used to make silver impregnated nanocrystalline metal oxides, with special focus on aluminum oxide. It can be used as a cationization reagent in combination with polar matrices such as 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acids.
It can also be used as an organic metal precursor to an electrically conductive circuit material. It can also be used for the synthesis of metal/bimetal nanowires for applications as flexible transparent electrodes.
