Conductive ink compositions

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 milking 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 form the conductive structures farther provided.
