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
Symbol to represent a certain feature. A symbolic action is an action that has no, or little, practical effect but symbolizes, or signals, what the actor wants or believes.
