My personal theory is that some silver particles and ions agglomerate around an oxygen atom making a partially oxidized particle.
The extra 'radical' oxygen atom in H2O2 wants very much to be a stable O2 molelcule and leave the rest as stable water [H2O] The radical scavenges the oxygen out of the agglomerated crystal and it breaks up. I have nothing but observations on the action of H2O2 'clearing' "large particle colored" CS, instantly dissolve color http://silverpuppy.com/resource/color.jpg that has plated out of a deep yellow batch onto the container over time and it's ability to nearly instantly dissolve silver dioxide deposits off electrodes to go on. Plus, using heavily ozonated water tends to make deep brown CS and using that that same water after letting it vent it's dissolved gasses doesn't. Ozone is another free radical substance O3. I once ran a batch using H2O2 as a 'starter' Conductivity never went over 13 uS even after many many hours. Electrodes thinned. Silver metal flakes like you'd see in a snow scene paperweight were everywhere. If you put blackened electrodes in H2O2, they get cleaned up fast, then turn black again if left in establishing a [mistaken?] correlation between large colored particles, electrode deposits and colored deposits on containers. Open 'clear' strong batches tend to turn colors faster than sealed ones. The oxygen in the crystal structure [if that's what it is] may not contribute directly to the color yet enable a particle size growth that does. All colors respond to H2O2. Someone sent a micrograph of silver particles before and after adding H2O2. Pretty big difference.
