Silver oxide (AgO) is an inorganic semiconductor compound composed of silver and oxygen, belonging to the broader family of metal oxides used in electronic and photocatalytic applications. Historically, it has been investigated for use in battery systems (particularly silver-zinc batteries), photocatalysis for water treatment and sterilization, and as a sensing material in gas detection systems. AgO is notable for its antimicrobial properties and potential in advanced oxidation processes, though it remains primarily in research and specialized industrial applications rather than mainstream manufacturing due to stability and decomposition challenges at elevated temperatures.
