The α-Ag2S acanthite–β-Ag2S argentite phase transformation in nanocrystalline silver sulfide has been studied in situ for the first time using high-temperature X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The formation of argentite has been proved by differential thermal analysis. The acanthite–argentite transformation occurs at a temperature of ∼449–450 K, and its enthalpy is ∼3.7–3.9 kJ mol–1. The thermal expansion coefficients of acanthite and argentite have been estimated. Original Russian Text © S.I. Sadovnikov, A.V. Chukin, A.A. Rempel’, A.I.
