Application

Used in a novel preparation of highly reflective, conductive silvered polymer films. Also effectively catalyzes cycloaddition reactions of isocyanoacetates with a variety of olefins.
Silver acetate is used as:
  • A dopant in the synthesis of tetrahedrite Cu10-x-yAgyZnxS thin film via polyol method
  • A precursor in the synthesis of AgBiS2 nanocrystals (NCs), which are then employed in the fabrication of photodetectors.
  • Precursor in the synthesis of silver phosphate (Ag3PO4) crystals, specifically rhombic dodecahedrons with well-defined {1 1 0} facets. These Ag3PO4 crystals exhibit high photocatalytic activity, making them effective for water photooxidation and the reduction of CO2 into renewable fuels.

Features and Benefits

  • High purity (99.99% trace metals basis) improves the conductivity and stability of silver-based inks, ensuring reliable performance in electronic applications.
  • High purity ensures effective antimicrobial action with 64% silver content while preventing harmful contaminants that could compromise safety.
  • The high purity (99.99% trace metals basis) minimizes impurities that could inhibit catalytic activity, leading to higher reaction rates and improved selectivity, along with a high silver loading of 64%

General description

Silver acetate is a high-purity (99.99% trace metals basis) white to off-white crystalline solid that is moderately soluble in water and highly soluble in polar organic solvents such as ethanol. This solubility makes it well-suited for use in formulating conductive inks and coatings for flexible electronics. It exhibits moderate thermal stability, decomposing at temperatures above 150–200 °C. This characteristic enables its application in thermal processing techniques, including thin-film formation, nanoparticle synthesis, and metal coating processes.
