Disclosed are provides conductive metal particles and conductive composite
metal particles by which conductive materials having stable conductivity can be
provided, and applied product thereof.
The conductive metal particles have a number average particle diameter of 5 to
100 m, a BET specific surface area of 0.01103 to 0.7103
m2/kg, a sulfur element content of at most 0.1% by mass, an oxygen
element content of at most 0.5% by mass and a carbon element content of at most
0.1% by mass. The conductive composite metal particles are obtained by coating
the surfaces of the conductive metal particles with a high-conductive metal.
