Method for manufacturing metal fine particles, metal fine particles manufactured thereby, and composition, light absorbing material and applied products containing the same

摘要

This method for manufacturing metal fine particles includes using an aqueous solution containing an amine having a reducing capacity and an ammonium salt having substantially no reducing capacity so as to reduce metal ions with said amine in a presence of said ammonium salt, thereby manufacturing rod-shaped metal fine particles. This metal fine particles are manufactured by this method for manufacturing metal fine particles, and have a major axis of 400 nm or less, a minor axis of 15 nm or less, and an aspect ratio of more than 1.
