Silver Bromide Photodecomposition
2AgBr → 2Ag + Br2
Visão geral
Silver bromide is more photosensitive than silver chloride and was the primary photosensitive material in photographic film. Blue and UV light excite electrons in the AgBr crystal lattice, reducing silver ions at crystal defects to form a latent image. Chemical development then amplifies these silver clusters.

Exemplo do cotidiano
Color and black-and-white photographic film used AgBr crystals in gelatin emulsion to capture images for over a century.
Importância industrial
O AgBr foi central na indústria fotográfica multibilionária. A Kodak e a Fuji construíram negócios globais com base na tecnologia de emulsão de AgBr.
