A composition comprising a liquid and a plurality of silver-containing
nanoparticles with a stabilizer, wherein the silver-containing
nanoparticles are a product of a reaction of a silver compound with a
reducing agent comprising a hydrazine compound in the presence of a
thermally removable stabilizer in a reaction mixture comprising the
silver compound, the reducing agent, the stabilizer, and an organic
solvent wherein the hydrazine compound is a hydrocarbyl hydrazine, a
hydrocarbyl hydrazine salt, a hydrazide, a carbazate, a sulfonohydrazide,
or a mixture thereof and wherein the stabilizer includes an organoamine.
