[Display omitted] •The air-stable Cu@Ag particles were synthesized.•The conductive inks containing Cu@Ag particles with optimal coating characteristics were formulated.•Metallic Cu@Ag films with conductivity as high as 16% of bulk copper were obtained. We report on the synthesis of copper-silver cor...
