Silver Oxide

Product Description

Silver Oxide (Ag₂O) is a high-purity, dark brown to black fine powder widely used in analytical chemistry, organic synthesis, and electrochemical applications. Known for its oxidizing properties and ability to release silver ions, it serves as a key reagent in laboratory analysis, catalyst preparation, and battery production.

With excellent chemical stability and purity, Silver Oxide is ideal for quantitative analysis, silver plating, and oxidation reactions in both academic and industrial laboratories. It is also an important material in silver–zinc batteries and other electrochemical cells.
