A process for producing silver particles and silver particles produced by the process

The present invention provides a method for producing silver particles comprising the steps of: mixing a thermally decomposable silver compound and an amine compound for producing a silver-amine complex as a precursor; and heating the silver-amine complex at a heating temperature that is equal to or higher than the decomposition temperature of the silver-amine complex to precipitate silver particles, wherein the silver compound is silver carbonate, the amine compound is terminated with a primary amino group on at least one end and a predetermined hydrocarbon group R having a carbon number of 4 contains up 10th With the method of the present invention, silver particles can be generated with a controlled particle size in a range of 20 nm to 200 nm with respect to the middle Teilchengosse.
