General description

Silver chloride (AgCl) is widely employed as a catalyst, photographic material, and ionic semiconductor material. High photosensitivity of AgCl makes it an important photocatalyst.

Application

Silver chloride can be used as a catalyst:
  • In the preparation of 1,2,3-triazoles from alkynes and azides.

Silver chloride is also be used:
  • As a precursor salt to synthesize silver nanoparticles.
