If you put citric acid in your distilled water when doing the electrolysis, it will produce silver citrate. It appears that chlorine compounds do not combine with the citrate form. Apparently the citrate has Ag3+, a complex, but silver chloride had Ag+, so once it is formed, they do not interact even though both can disassociate in water to some extent. Excess citric acid increases the solubility of silver citrate significantly, otherwise you limit of solubility is around 250 ppm.

If anyone would like to summarize about making silver citrate, I would appreciate it. ratios? Silver must be oxide first? This is possible with hydrogen peroxide? what about the 80% ions, what happens? Can be made simply be adding citrate to water when making a batch with typical low voltage method? chloride in lemon juice defeats the purpose of the citrate?

Thank you
