Yes, it is.
Though... most likely a silver hydroxide particle or crystal structure.
Note how few there are per volume of water, being consistent with 85 to
97% ionic
Note also the photo made with a TEM....of dried oxidized ions being
*called* particles.
Those were never in the water.
Note how densely packed they are, consistent with ~90% ionic.
Somewhere out of the TEMs field of view you might find a big glob that
would have been an actual "particle in the water", but you might have to
look a long time to find one.
Imagine trying to find an ant on an acre of fine sand using a magnifying glass.
That would be a picture of a black blob, surrounded by nothing...not very
interesting.
Crystals generally form around a nucleus, some foreign object. [It is, in
fact, very hard to freeze extremely pure water...it just doesn't want to
crystalize ]
Imagine that the nucleating object is a silver oxide particle and what H2O2
does to silver oxide on your black electrode or the brown/golden stuff
stuck to the glass when yellow CS/EIS is stored for a long time.
Zap that nucleus and what you have left is the fractal arms of the crystal.
Silver Oxide will display a yellow to brown to black color as a pigment,
depending on concentration.
Particles can also display a yellow, reddish, green or violet color due
to size related light scattering.
Why not both at once AND/OR either/or?
Break up the oxide and *pigment color* goes away.
Bust out the fractal arms and size changes..and *light scattering* color
goes away.

Is that photo of a silver particle still in water?
