General description

Cadmium chloride is colorless, odorless, and highly soluble in water. It is widely used in the field of catalysis and perovskite solar cells.[1]

Application

Cadmium chloride can be used:
  • As an additive to fabricate perovskite solar cells to improve long-term stability and performance. The incorporation of Cd ions enhances optical absorption and carrier transfer.[1]
  • As a precursor to synthesize functionalized cadmium telluride quantum dots for fluorescent immunosensors.[2]
It can also be used as a catalyst for:
  • Aza-Michael reaction of electron-deficient alkene and a wide range of amines.[3]
  • The one-pot synthesis of dihydropyrimidones via the Biginelli reaction.[4]
  • The synthesis of benimidazoles.

    Methods of Synthesizing Monodisperse Colloidal Quantum Dots

    Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals of only a few nanometers (ca. 2–12 nm) coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to help prevent agglomeration.

    Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
