“…A large number of studies about silver precursors, for instance silver(I) carboxylates, silver(I) dithiocarbamates or silver(I) -diketonates have been reported, due to their suitability in manifold application methods such as CCVD (combustion chemical vapour deposition) or CVD (chemical vapour deposition) processes (Struppert et al, 2010;Schmidt et al, 2005;Haase et al, 2005a,b;Lang & Buschbeck, 2009;Lang, 2011;Lang & Dietrich, 2013;Jakob et al, 2006;Chi et al, 1996;Chi & Lu, 2001), inkjet printing (Jahn et al, 2010), joining processes (Oestreicher et al, 2013), their use as single-source precursors for Ag 2 S formation (Mothes et al, 2015a,b), catalysis (Steffan et al, 2009) and self-assembly of silver nanoparticles (Bokhonov et al, 2014).…”
