This research paper indicates that silver ascorbate apparently forms for about one second before becoming silver. It is interesting, according to this paper, that the silver when using fairly high concentrations of silver nitrate and ascorbic acid produce silver flowers with petals.

I can't seem to copy and paste the appropriate section, but it is on the right hand side of page 3, second paragraph.

And if ascorbic acid makes metallic silver, then what is silver ascorbate?

        Questions/Comments:

        1.  In addition to adding H202 after the ascorbic acid, what
        difference (if any) might there be if one first added H2O2 and
        added the ascorbic acid second?

        2.  If I am not mistake, ascorbic acid could sneakily fit the
        definition of a "carbohydrate" ?  This may give more insight
        to what the SilverLungs person uses.  But he called it a
        "custom blended carbohydrate" which would imply more than one
        ingredient.  Though he could have added 1 carbon atom perhaps.

        3.  I may try both vit C and peroxide with the 100uS brew I
        have.  If this works, then we have (at least in theory) a
        means of making silver ions at concentrations with no
        theoretical limit (via ultra low current), and then making
        high PPM colloidal suspensions by reducing those brews.  The
        home brewer could then do it all if someone developed the
        method enough.

            I would have to make some more, that was done back in
            2010, and I no longer have it.

                Could you report back on this in 4 weeks time {middle
                or end of next month, June} and let me know if there
                is any settlement observable please.
