Ice Nucleation by Solid Solutions of Silver-Copper Iodide
TLDR
The lattice misfit between ice and silver iodides can be reduced by partial substitution of copper atoms for silver atoms in the silver iodide lattice by using CuI-3AgI, which corresponds to the most active silver-copper iodide nucleation catalyst.
