Abstract
The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a phosphorus-doped nickel nanoparticle. The method includes the steps of: mixing a nickel solution including a nickel compound and a solvent, a seed particle, and a phosphorus-containing reductant in an arbitrary order to prepare a mixed solution; and adjusting pH of the mixed solution such that the mixed solution becomes acidic. According to the method, a phosphorus-doped nickel nanoparticle that is suitable to be applied to solar cell electrodes requiring low contact resistance can be manufactured.
