It is useful as a photosensitizer in photography. It constitutes the tarnish that forms over time on silverware and other silver objects. Silver sulfide is insoluble in most solvents, but is degraded by strong acids. Silver sulfide is a network solid made up of silver (electronegativity of 1.98) and sulfur (electronegativity of 2.58) where the bonds have low ionic character (approximately 10%). Formation Silver sulfide naturally occurs as the tarnish on silverware. When combined with silver, hydrogen sulfide gas creates a layer of black silver sulfide patina on the silver, protecting the inner silver from further conversion to silver sulfide.BOOK, Zumdahl, Steven S.,weblink Chemical Principles, DeCoste, Donald J., 2013, 978-1-111-58065-0, 7th, 505, Cengage Learning, Silver whiskers can form when silver sulfide forms on the surface of silver electrical contacts operating in an atmosphere rich in hydrogen sulfide and high humidity.WEB, 2002, Degradation of Power Contacts in Industrial Atmosphere: Silver Corrosion and Whiskers,weblink Such atmospheres can exist in sewage treatment and paper mills.JOURNAL, Dutta, Paritam K., Rabaey, Korneel, Yuan, Zhiguo, Rozendal, René A., Keller, Jürg, 2010, Electrochemical sulfide removal and recovery from paper mill anaerobic treatment effluent, Water Research, 44, 8, 2563–2571, 10.1016/j.watres.2010.01.008, 0043-1354, 20163816, 2010WatRe..44.2563D, WEB, Control of Hydrogen Sulfide Generation {{!, Water & Wastes Digest|url=https://www.wwdmag.com/corrosion/control-hydrogen-sulfide-generation|access-date=2018-07-05|website=www.wwdmag.com|date=5 March 2012 |language=en}} Structure and properties Three forms are known: monoclinic acanthite (β-form), stable below 179 Â°C, body centered cubic so-called argentite (α-form), stable above 180 Â°C, and a high temperature face-centred cubic (γ-form) stable above 586 Â°C.BOOK, 10.1007/10681727_86, 1–4, 1998, 978-3-540-31360-1, 41C, Springer Berlin Heidelberg,weblink Non-Tetrahedrally Bonded Elements and Binary Compounds I, Landolt-Börnstein - Group III Condensed Matter, Silver sulfide (Ag2S) crystal structure, The higher temperature forms are electrical conductors. It is found in nature as relatively low temperature mineral acanthite. Acanthite is an important ore of silver. The acanthite, monoclinic, form features two kinds of silver centers, one with two and the other with three near neighbour sulfur atoms.Frueh, A. J. (1958). The crystallography of silver sulfide, Ag2S. Zeitschrift für Kristallographie-Crystalline Materials, 110(1-6), 136-144. Argentite refers to a cubic form, which, due to instability in "normal" temperatures, is found in form of the pseudomorphosis of acanthite after argentite. Exceptional ductility of α-Ag2S Relative to most inorganic materials, α-Ag2S displays exceptional ductility at room temperature.JOURNAL, Chen, Lidong, 2018, Room-temperature ductile inorganic semiconductor,weblink Nature Materials, 17, 421-426, JOURNAL, Chen, Lidong, Flexible thermoelectrics based on ductile semiconductors,weblink Science, 377, 6608, 854-858, This material can undergo extensive deformation, akin to metals, without fracturing. Such behavior is evident in various mechanical tests; for instance, α-Ag2S can be easily machined into cylindrical or bar shapes and can withstand substantial deformation under compression, three-point bending, and tensile stresses. The material sustains over 50% engineering strain in compression tests and up to 20% or more in bending tests.The intrinsic ductility of alpha-phase silver sulfide (α-Ag2S) is underpinned by its unique structural and chemical bonding characteristics. At the atomic level, its monoclinic crystal structure, which remains stable up to 451 K, enables the movement of atoms and dislocations along well-defined crystallographic planes known as slip planes. Additionally, the dynamic bonding within the crystal structure supports both the sliding of atomic layers and the maintenance of material integrity during deformation. The interatomic forces within the slip planes are sufficiently strong to prevent the material from cleaving while still allowing for considerable flexibility. Further insights into α-Ag2S's ductility come from density functional theory calculations, which reveal that the primary slip planes align with the [100] direction and slipping occurs along the [001] direction. This arrangement permits atoms to glide over each other under stress through minute adjustments in the interlayer distances, which are energetically favorable as indicated by low slipping energy barriers (ΔEB) and high cleavage energies (ΔEC). These properties ensure significant deformation capability without fracture. Silver and sulfur atoms in α-Ag2S form transient, yet robust interactions that enable the material to retain its integrity while deforming. This behavior is akin to that of metals, where dislocations move with relative ease, providing α-Ag2S with a unique combination of flexibility and strength, making it exceptionally resistant to cracking under mechanical stress. History In 1833 Michael Faraday noticed that the resistance of silver sulfide decreased dramatically as temperature increased. This constituted the first report of a semiconducting material.WEB, 1833 - First Semiconductor Effect is Recorded,weblink 24 June 2014, Computer History Museum, Silver sulfide is a component of classical qualitative inorganic analysis.{{Greenwood&Earnshaw2nd}} References {{reflist}} External links Tarnishing of Silver: A Short Review V&A Conservation Journal Images of silver whiskers NASA {{Commons category|Silver sulfide}}{{Silver compounds}}{{Sulfides}}{{Authority control}}
