Zirconium acetate solution

Zirconium acetate solution can be used as:

• A sol-gel precursor for synthesizing mesoporous zirconia (ZrO₂), which serves as a catalyst support, adsorbent, or membrane material due to its high surface area and thermal stability.
• A precursor to synthesize SiO^₂–ZrO₂hybrid films under mild sol–gel conditions. Hybrid films used in hydrophobic, anticorrosion coatings on steel.
• A crosslinking agent in proton exchange membranes (PEMs) for fuel cells, enhancing mechanical strength and proton conductivity through interactions with sulfonic acid groups.
• A precursor for biocompatible hydrogels and drug delivery systems, where its ionic crosslinking capability enables controlled release of therapeutics.
• a zirconium based precursor for the development of zirconia coatings
• a stabilizer for colloidal solutions, controlled growth of ice crystals, water proofing, and flame retardant treatments

Zirconium acetate solution is a water-soluble, non-toxic precursor widely used in catalysis, and advanced material synthesis. With high stability and compatibility with aqueous systems, it is ideal for fabricating zirconium-based oxides, hybrid materials, and functional coatings. Its eco-friendly profile and ease of processing make it suitable for energy storage, environmental remediation, and biomedical applications.
