The ultra-fine silver powders were prepared by chemical reduction using nitric acid silver (AgNO3) as raw material, ascorbic acid (C6H8O6) as deoxidizer and adding polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as dispersing agent. The influence factors, such as AgNO3solution concentration, ascorbic acid solution concentration, PVP dosage and reaction conditions such as temperature, PH etc. were studied. The morphology and particle size distribution were observed by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FSEM) and laser particle analyzer. The composition was analyzed by Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS).The crystal phase was tested by X-ray Diffraction (XRD). It indicates that the spherical ultra-fine silver powder is face-centered cubic structure, its diameter is about 1.0 μm with homogeneous particle size distribution and smooth surface. It was prepared under the conditions as following: dropwise added 60 g/L AgNO3solution into 40g/L ascorbic acid solution, with the presence of PVP, and pH=3,45,360rpm. It meets the requirements of paste for solar cells top electrode.

The effect of self-generated seeded thermal hydrolysis factors, such as TiOSO4 solution concentration, grey aging time, volume ratio of TiOSO4 to pre-adding water, and heating rate on high-purity TiO2 size for PTC thermistor were studied. The samples were characterized by particle size distribution, and SEM. The results show that with increase of TiOSO4 solution concentration, the high-purity TiO2 size decrease gradually, but with increase of grey aging time and volume ratio of TiOSO4 to pre-adding water respectively, the high-purity TiO2 size also increase. The suitable TiOSO4 concentration is 160g/l, grey aging time is 15min, the optimum volume ratio of TiOSO4 to pre-adding water is 4.0:1 and heating rate should be 1.5°C/min.

Powder materials are widely used in the manufacture of electrochemical elements of thermal chemical sources of current. Electrochemical behavior of the powders depends on the shape and size of their particles. The results of the study of the microstructure and particles of the powders of vanadium (III), (V) oxides and lithium aluminate obtained by transmission electron and atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction and gas adsorption analyses are presented. It is found that the sizes of vanadium (III) and vanadium (V) oxide particles range within 70 – 600 and 40 – 350 nm, respectively. The size of the coherent-scattering regions of the vanadium oxide particles lies in the lower range limit which can be attributed to small size of the structural elements (crystallites). An average volumetric-surface diameter calculated on the basis of the surface specific area is close to the upper range limit which can be explained by the partial agglomeration of the powder particles. Unlike the vanadium oxide particles, the range of the particle size distribution of the lithium aluminate powder is narrower — 50 – 110 nm. The values of crystallite sizes are close to the maximum of the particle size distribution. Microstructural analysis showed that the particles in the samples of vanadium oxides have a rounded (V2O3) or elongated (V2O5) shape; whereas the particles of lithium aluminate powder exhibit lamellar structure. At the same time, for different batches of the same material, the particle size distribution is similar, which indicates the reproducibility of the technologies for their manufacture. The data obtained can be used to control the constancy of the particle size distribution of powder materials.
