Abstract
High porosity porous silver powder with about 100 µm average size and 5 µm pore size was fabricated by spray drying and calcining technology. Effects of calcining temperature and process of spray-dried powder on the phases, grain size, particle morphology and pore microstructure of silver powder were investigated. The results showed that porous silver with approximately spherical shape and via hole structure was obtained using 0.25 mol Ag 2CO 3 solution of ammonia water, which was spray-dried at 200 °C and calcined at 400 °C for 30 min with heat treatment technology curve of gradient temperature in air. And there were not Ag 2CO 3, Ag 2O and AgO phases existing in the porous silver. However, using 0.25 mol Ag 2CO 3 solution of ammonia water, the porous silver powder could not be fabricated by spray pyrolysis technology with a solution feed rate of 300 mL/h, flux of carrier gas of 0.30 MPa, and 640 °C furnace set temperature.
