Some notes on this. The author is comparing silver nanoparticles, to silver carbonate, which is an ionic form of silver. Their experiment was with silver nanoparticles being continually slowly being converted to silver carbonate for water treatment. Basically it is saying that ionic silver is 1,000 times as potent an antiviral as colloidal silver, something most of us already knew. Also this took place outside the body.

Practically it should have little effect on CS taken by mouth. When CS hits the stomach the silver oxide ionic portion reacts with the stomach acid and immediately produces silver chloride. If you mix it with baking soda, the ionic portion will become silver carbonate, and when that hits the stomach acid, it becomes silver chloride. Thus the end result is the same.

The only thing affected by this would be the colloidal part, maybe 10 to 20% of the silver. This will convert to silver carbonate slowly according to this article, and could give you a boost in the effectiveness of the CS of 10 to 20%, if you let it sit long enough to convert it all.

Here is the paragraph:

" Closing out 2014, Swathy et alxxviii published research on a surprising synergism between silver nanoparticles and carbonate ions. The researchers, “discovered that 50 parts per billion (ppb) of Ag(+) released continuously from silver nanoparticles confined in nanoscale cages is enough to cause antimicrobial activity in conditions of normal water.” By way of context, sodium fluoride is often added to water supplies at a level of 1-2 parts per million, so this is a concentration of silver some 1/20th to 1/40th that of added fluoride. The authors go on to state, “the antibacterial and antiviral activities of Ag(+) can be enhanced ~1,000 fold, selectively, in presence of carbonate ions “ While not discussed by the authors baking soda is an extremely inexpensive source of carbonate ions. "

However this is simply a quote from the abstract. The entire article can be read at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4241523/ and to completely understand any implications it needs to be carefully read.
