[4][5] The precipitation reaction is analytically significant[6] and can be used in qualitative or quantitative analysis.

[3] Large crystals of silver phosphate form upon gradual evaporation of such ammoniacal solutions.

[9] Silver phosphate also found use in early photography as a light sensitive agent.

[11] Silver phosphate is a high (90%) quantum yield photocatalyst for the visible light photochemical splitting of water and for production of activated oxygen by the same method.

13465-97-9)[13] can be prepared as a white precipitate from reaction of silver(I) and pyrophosphate ions.
