Silver oxide Silver oxide Silver(I) oxide is the chemical compound with the formula AgO. It is a fine black or dark brown powder that is used to prepare other silver compounds. Silver oxide can be prepared by combining aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and an alkali hydroxide. This reaction does not afford appreciable amounts of silver hydroxide due to the favorable energetics for the following reaction: US patent 20050050990 describes the preparation of AgO with properties suitable for use as a fine grained conductive paste filler. AgO features linear, two-coordinate Ag centers linked by tetrahedral oxides. It is isostructural with CuO. It
Silver stain a technique in traditional stained glass to produce the yellow, brown, or amber shading when painting on glass. It is a technique that is often used for realistic hair color. It was discovered in the 14th Century but was not originally used very frequently. There are several silver stains incorporating methenamine, including: Silver stain Silver staining is the use of silver to selectively alter the appearance of a target in microscopy of histological sections; in temperature gradient gel electrophoresis; and in polyacrylamide gels. Camillo Golgi perfected silver staining for the study of the nervous system. Although the exact chemical mechanism
