How to produce silver(I) oxide

[justinhcase]

I have a client who has asked for silver(I) oxide.
I am already trading AgNo3 directly with him for my consumables, which is nice.
Having a good relationship with your chemical supplier is very helpful.
I usually use AgNo3 to AgCl then, sodium hydroxide to convert the silver chloride to oxide.
Normal I do not need to control the valence of the silver oxide I produce as during reduction they all respond similarly to heat.
But my client needs require (I)oxide, that will require a more controlled reaction.
Can anyone recommend a good paper or have any suggestions?
Thanks.

NaOH is not a reducer, so it gives Ag(I) only. No need to go through AgCl, you can react AgNO3 directly with NaOH

Thank you.
The client has some very good test equipment, so I was a bit concerned about Mixed valence complexes.
I will see what he thinks of a sample.
