Scope note
A dark brown or black powder prepared by combining an aqueous solution of silver nitrate and an alkali hydroxide. It is used in silver-oxide batteries, as a laboratory reagent, and as a carbon dioxide scrubber. Salt-free silver oxide showed promise as a bronze disease treatment used at excavation sites but its application has proven a complex and labor consuming method with aesthetically unappealing results.
