Method of producing metal nanoparticles

Abstract

The present invention provides a method of producing metal nanoparticles, having a high yield rate achieved by superior dispersion stability even in a polar solvent, producing a large amount of particles of uniform size. Also, the invention provides metal nanoparticles and a producing method of metal nanoparticles, employing a polyacid as a stabilizing agent to control the size of particles even with a smaller amount than using other macromolecular stabilizing agents, allowing the particles to have dispersion stability. According to one aspect of the invention may provide a method of manufacturing metal nanoparticles, using a polyacid as a stabilizing agent to produce nano-sized metal nanoparticles from a metal precursor. Here, a reducing agent may be further added.
