Abstract

Provided are a nanoparticle/dispersant complex having excellent dispersibility and long-term stability in a dispersion medium, a production method therefor, and a nanoparticle dispersion liquid and a nanoparticle/matrix-material complex which are colorless and transparent even at high concentrations. In the nanoparticle/dispersant complex, a nanoparticle is covered with a dispersant containing a heterocyclic cationic group and one of an oxo acid group containing a sulfur atom or a phosphorus atom and an anion moiety of the oxo acid group; in the nanoparticle dispersion liquid, the nanoparticle/dispersant complex is dispersed into a dispersion medium; in the nanoparticle/matrix-material complex, the nanoparticle/dispersant complex is dispersed into a matrix material; and the production method for a nanoparticle/dispersant complex comprises forming, under a presence of the dispersant, a nanoparticle covered with the dispersant from a nanoparticle precursor.
