Used as an oxidizing agent in organic synthesis, particularly in reactions like the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids. Commonly employed in the preparation of silver-based conductive inks and coatings for electronics due to its ability to decompose into metallic silver upon heating. Applied in the manufacture of batteries, especially in small button cells, where it serves as the cathode material due to its high energy density and stable voltage output. Also utilized in antimicrobial coatings and medical devices for its biocidal properties, helping to prevent bacterial growth on surfaces. Occasionally used in catalytic applications and in the production of other silver compounds for industrial processes.
