General Description

Disilver dioxide, commonly known as silver(I, III) oxide or silver peroxide, is a chemical compound with the formula Ag4O4. It is synthesized by combining silver and oxygen, subsequently appearing as a greyish to olive-colored solid. Disilver dioxide is known for its oxidation power, and owing to its oxidative properties, it decomposes upon exposure to light or heat. It is often used for several commercial purposes such as in silver-oxide batteries due to its high electrical conductivity. However, the compound needs to be handled with care as exposure to it might result in irritation or burns.
