Abstract

Silver oxide possesses antimicrobial properties and also has numerous applications in the space research, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. It is not readily soluble in most of the solvents and highly sensitive to light. Thus, this study was executed to evaluate the impact of the Trivedi Effect®- Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the physicochemical and thermal properties of silver oxide using PSA, PXRD, and DSC analytical techniques. The test sample was divided in to two parts: one part was control sample and the other part was treated sample.

Highlights

  • Silver oxide (Ag2O) is used as a laboratory reagent for the synthesis of other silver compounds, i.e., silver chloride, silver nitrate, etc

  • The specific surface area of the treated silver oxide (0.183m2/g) was significantly increased by 7.647% compared to the control sample (0.17m2/g)

  • The Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment has a significant impact on the particle size, surface area, peak intensities, crystallite size, and thermal properties of silver oxide

Summary

Introduction

Silver oxide (Ag2O) is used as a laboratory reagent for the synthesis of other silver compounds, i.e., silver chloride, silver nitrate, etc It is commonly used as a mild oxidizing agent for the oxidation of the organic compounds like aldehydes to carboxylic acids and in the silver-oxide batteries. It is integrated into the fabrics used in surgery as it inhibits the growth of microbes [1,2,3]. It is used in the concrete of the swimming pools and spas to protect the water from undesirable microbes As it enhances the antimicrobial properties, it is used as silver oxide ointment for difficult venous ulcerations, and even an essential component of the total wound dressing. Silver oxide is used for the optoelectronic application and preparation of the pollution control filter for gas sensors, which absorbs airborne poisons and irritants [5,6]
