1. A coating composition comprising:
(a) a binder polymer;
(b) copper glass nanoparticles, wherein each nanoparticle comprises a glass shell and a copper core, the copper core comprising copper oxidation states Cu0, Cu1+, Cu2+, or combinations thereof, and the glass shell comprising a porous SiO2 structure that at least partially surrounds the copper core;
(c) an alkyldiol additive; and
(d) a carrier liquid,
wherein the copper glass nanoparticles are present in the coating composition in an amount of 1 g/gallon coating composition to 4 g/gallon coating composition; and
wherein the alkyldiol additive is selected from the group consisting of 1,2-hexanediol, 1,2-octanediol, 1,2-decanediol, 1,2-hexanediol blended with methylbenzyl alcohol, 1,2-octanediol blended with methylbenzyl alcohol, 1,2-decanediol blended with phenoxyethanol, or blends thereof and wherein the alkyldiol additive is present at 2000 to 5000 ppm by weight.
