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
Council for Chemical Research has four membership categories: Industrial, Academic, Government Labs, and Affiliates. CCR's mission is "Advancing Chemical Innovation Through Collaboration and Advocacy." CCR serves as a catalyst and partner for initiatives in the field of chemical research, such as the Center for Process Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Industry Vision 2020. CCR produces and sponsors studies such as "Measuring Up: Research and Development Counts for the Chemical Industry" and "Measure for Measure: Chemical R&D Powers the U.S. Innovation Engine". CCR holds an Annual Meeting, an annual New Industrial Chemistry and Engineering Conference (NIChE), and workshops on topics such as Intellectual Property Issues. CCR
