CAS 1301-96-8: Silver oxide, (AgO)

Silver(II) oxide is used to make silver oxide-zinc alkali batteries. It is also used as a reagent in laboratory reactions and forms transition metal-carbene complexes. It is also used as a catalyst to prepare silver metal. It acts as an effective carbon dioxide scrubber and used in nuclear submarines, the international space station and space shuttles. Further, it is used in the manufacture of filters for gas sensors and in some infection-resistant surgical fabric materials and fibrous textile articles. In addition to this, it is used in concrete and in some swimming pools to protect the water from undesired microbes. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Silver oxide is a silver-containing compound, which is used in the preparation of high-purity silver metal. Silver oxide can be prepared by reacting silver nitrate with hydrogen chloride and an aromatic hydrocarbon, such as benzene or toluene. The reaction mechanism of this process involves the formation of hydrogen chloride gas, water vapor, and silver ions. The particle size distribution can be controlled by changing the amount of aromatic hydrocarbon used in the reaction. The morphology of the particles can also be changed by altering the ratio of reactants and adding amines to the reaction mixture.
