Common industrial uses include soldering and brazing alloys, batteries, photovoltaic energy, RFID chips to track deliveries, dentistry, nuclear reactors, photography, glass coatings and LED chips.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Silver is also used in the manufacture of semiconductors, smartphone touchscreens, plasma television screens, for water purification and materials preservation. In chemical processes, silver is crucial for catalysing ethylene oxide to make polyester, solvents, detergents and everyday products like antifreeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Medical<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default has-link-color wp-elements-53585e7c470d9d87417884e49f4a5440\">Silver biocides appear throughout the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverinstitute.org\/silver-in-medicine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">medical environment<\/a>, acting against bacteria by stopping it from bonding with other chemicals while remaining harmless to animal cells.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">In combination with water, silver ions have a powerful antibacterial effect, so they\u2019re found in hospital water systems, while a silver coating keeps surgeons\u2019 operating tools safe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Silver\u2019s antibacterial properties mean that nanoparticles are often woven into clothes, to prevent bacteria from feeding on sweat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Store of value<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Silver is a convenient and widely accepted store of value, traded on international markets as investment-grade silver bullion. While silver coins are no longer common currency, silver objects including tableware, jewellery, artworks and vintage coins retain strong value.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Since it is a highly reflective material, silver is commonly used in mirrors and specialised glass that can react to light. Investment analysts study the potential demand for silver to determine its future value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-historical-use-of-silver\">Historical use of silver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Evidence from Turkey and Greece shows that silver was first mined around 3000 BC after the Chaldean people devised a means of extracting the metal. By 600 BC the city of Athens thrived on silver from local mines in Laurium. While German mines dominated medieval Europe, Peruvian, Bolivian and Mexican mines thrived in South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Initially used for jewellery, tableware and coinage, Ancient Phoenicians (in modern-day Lebanon and Israel) understood that silver-coated bottles kept their water fresh; in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century, doctors used silver nitrate in antibacterial dressings and to cure ulcers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">With the invention of photography in the mid-19<sup>th<\/sup> century, a huge new market for silver emerged. Its sensitivity to light made silver an ideal material for the art form, particularly silver bromide and silver nitrate. By the end of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century, photography represented the most common destination for global silver production, employing a quarter of it. Yet as digital photography displaced analogue, this slipped to just 9 per cent by 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Instead, demand for silver for photovoltaic cells rose sharply in the early 21<sup>st<\/sup> century, with the sector using 19 million ounces each year by 2008. Although innovation has reduced the percentage of silver in photovoltaic cells, the rise of high-tech batteries, used in electric vehicles and consumer electronics, has kept demand high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">As an investment, silver is a cyclical material: when equity markets perform poorly and economic conditions unstable, investors seek sanctuary in raw materials and precious metals, which act as a hedge against inflation.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img width=\"960\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/kinesis.money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BodyImage_silver_materials_overview.png\" alt=\"silver materials commodities manufacture\" class=\"wp-image-27567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kinesis.money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BodyImage_silver_materials_overview.png 960w, https:\/\/kinesis.money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BodyImage_silver_materials_overview-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/kinesis.money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BodyImage_silver_materials_overview-150x83.png 150w, https:\/\/kinesis.money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BodyImage_silver_materials_overview-768x423.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-materials-overview\">Materials overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Silver is found \u2018uncombined\u2019, in ores including argentite and chlorargyrite (also known as horn silver). More often, it occurs in combination with lead-zinc, copper, gold and copper-nickel ores, from which it is extracted as a by-product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Each year around 20,000 tonnes of silver is produced. Silver is the most commonly occurring of the noble metals (meaning that it resists corrosion and oxidisation) and makes up 0.07 parts per million of the earth\u2019s crust, compared with 0.01 for gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Silver\u2019s material properties include its unsurpassed conductivity of heat and electricity, its malleability, its sensitivity to light, its antibacterial qualities and its high reflectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img width=\"960\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/kinesis.money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BodyImage_future_of_silver.png\" alt=\"AG future silver ag\" class=\"wp-image-27563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kinesis.money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BodyImage_future_of_silver.png 960w, https:\/\/kinesis.money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BodyImage_future_of_silver-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/kinesis.money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BodyImage_future_of_silver-150x83.png 150w, https:\/\/kinesis.money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BodyImage_future_of_silver-768x423.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-future-of-silver\">Future of silver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default has-link-color wp-elements-2085c036db52eecd7e7c4b1d248e8e71\">Exponentially increasing demand for photovoltaic cells,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverinstitute.org\/silver-consumption-global-automotive-sector-approach-90-million-ounces-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> electric vehicles<\/a> and supercapacitors, using nano silver conductive inks, means that demand for silver is likely to rise in the coming years.
