Silver(I,III) oxide or tetrasilver tetroxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Ag₄O₄. It is a component of silver zinc batteries. It can be prepared by the slow addition of a silver(I) salt to a persulfate solution e.g. AgNO₃ to a Na₂S₂O₈ solution.^[1] It adopts an unusual structure, being a mixed-valence compound.^[2] It is a dark brown solid that decomposes with evolution of O₂ in water. It dissolves in concentrated nitric acid to give brown solutions containing the Ag²⁺ ion.^[3]
