Silver Iodide

Product Description

Silver Iodide (AgI) is a high-purity, light-sensitive inorganic compound widely used in photography, cloud seeding, and analytical chemistry. It appears as a pale yellow crystalline powder that darkens upon exposure to light due to the formation of metallic silver.

Renowned for its photochemical and optical properties, Silver Iodide is utilized in photographic emulsions, electrochemical cells, and weather modification research. It also serves as a reagent in chemical analysis and as a precursor for other silver-based compounds in research and industry.
