It can be used in contexts related to chemistry, medicine, or materials science, often referring to silver that has antimicrobial properties or is in a reactive state.
Example: "The bandage contains active silver to help prevent infection in the wound."
Alternatives: "reactive silver" or "bioactive silver".
Used in combination therapy with antibiotics to achieve what scientists call "bactericidal synergism," active silver solutions have shown marked activity against proven bacterial-resistant strains including E.coli.

They synthesized luminescent and Raman active silver nanoparticles by taking advantage of thermal reduction method.
X-ray diffraction study revealed that the active silver crystallites were dispersed amorphously on the catalysts.
The oxidation of metallic silver to active silver ions proceeds through the interaction of silver with H2O molecules [96].
For coldly condensed, SERS active silver films there is no correspondence to the so-called Very Low Frequency Mode (VLFM) observed at 8 cm−1 in the light scattering spectrum of SERS-active silver electrodes.
Many of these "communities" don't hire or retain enough adequately trained staff to support their increasingly old and frail residents, who are not the active, silver-haired strollers depicted in brochures, but people typically in their late 80s with multiple health problems and high rates of cognitive loss.

In the galvanic series platinum is more active than silver and therefore Pt enhances Ag+ ion formation through galvanic action.
But we now find ourselves on the brink of more folly, as our penchant for all-or-none, active ingredient, silver-bullet scenarios wins out over vast experience with truth in shades of gray.
