Used as a precursor in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles, which have applications in antimicrobial coatings, medical devices, wound dressings, and textiles due to their ability to inhibit bacterial growth and reduce odors. Also employed in some polymer systems as a biocide to prevent microbial degradation. Finds use in specialized chemical reactions as a silver ion source, particularly in organic transformations where controlled release of silver is required. Additionally, it has been explored in electroconductive inks and films for electronics, leveraging silver’s conductive properties, and in targeted drug delivery systems for slow-release antimicrobial effects.
