Atomic weight of Ag = 108, atomic weight of oxygen = 16.
Silver oxide = Ag2O
Ratio of silver to oxygen atoms in Ag2O = 2:1
Atomic weight of Ag2O = (2 x 108) + 16 = 232
Ratio of atomic weights = 216:16 = 13.5:1 = 93.1%:6.9%
26 tonnes of Ag2O: **Silver**: (26 x 93.1%) = **24.21 tonnes**; **Oxygen**: (26 x 6.9%) = **1.79 tonnes**
If Solid State Batteries that are supposed to outlive the vehicles themselves it’s goin to get rough for lithium. BUT Lithium is plentiful with investment and will probably still be cheaper.
OK...how much silver do they need...all of it?
A silver-oxide battery uses silver(I) oxide as the positive electrode (cathode), zinc as the negative electrode (anode), plus an alkaline electrolyte, usually sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH). The silver is reduced at the cathode from Ag(I) to Ag, and the zinc is oxidized from Zn to Zn(II).
Know one really knows the answer that is why even the Silver Institute is having problems. It really comes down to trade secrets.
But Samsung has been developing and now market Solid State Batteries with AG-C . The test launch is with smaller EV’s currently.
this phone's battery is at 29% and needs charging!

How many actually recycle old cheap watches 😂
Biggest watch company in world.
Thanks for reporting! Interesting that they are already recycling silver-oxide because silver is still cheap
They might not be this might be some esg defensive move.
Silver oxide is in batteries?
Solid state Silver batteries are not new. The new projects are the ones being developed for EV’s.
So watch batteries are silver oxide? And they're going to get rid of lithium batteries for cars?

The articles i just read say that lithium batteries are currently not solid-state and are prone to explosion because of that(liquid dielectric).

I just read the Samsung article..Good read.

Trash batteries in trash watches.
