Description

General description

Silver nitrate is a water-soluble silver salt used as a precursor to prepare silver-containing nanomaterials or complexes.

Application

Silver nitrate can be used as:

• An activator in Ni-P coating of fly-ash cenosphere particles by the electroless method.
• A silver precursor to prepare Ag–TiO₂ nanomaterials applicable in the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine 6G dye molecule.

It can also be used as a catalyst in the:

• Hydrolytic oxidation of organosilanes to generate hydrogen.
• Oxidation of a variety of aldehydes to corresponding carboxylic acids in the presence of H₂O₂ as an oxidizer.
