Application

Ag(acac) can be used in the preparation of silver based catalysts and nanoparticles for potential applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
Silver acetylacetonate serves as a key precursor
  • In the synthesis of perfluorodecanethiol-stabilized silver nanocrystals via arrested precipitation in supercritical CO₂ .
  • In the laser reduction in liquid (LRL) method to synthesize CuAg alloy nanoparticles with tunable bimetallic structures and compositions for catalytic applications.
  • In the atmospheric pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition process to supply silver for the catalytic growth of Ag-doped ZnO nanostructures.

General description

Silver acetylacetonate, also known as the 2,4-pentanedione silver derivative, is a faint brown metal-organic compound commonly used as a precursor in the production of silver-based catalysts and nanoparticles. Its moderate solubility in organic and polymer solvents makes it particularly suitable for incorporation into composite materials and thin-film applications.
