Description

Cadmium Acetylacetonate Hydrate 99.9+% is a high-purity coordination compound where cadmium is chelated by acetylacetonate ligands, with associated water molecules. This material is a critical precursor in advanced materials science, valued for its role in depositing uniform, high-quality cadmium oxide thin films. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the electronics, catalysis, and specialty chemical synthesis sectors who require precise metal-organic sources for vapor deposition processes or as a catalyst component.

Application

• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD): Serves as a high-purity precursor for the fabrication of cadmium oxide (CdO) thin films used in transparent conductive oxides, sensors, and optoelectronic devices.
• Catalysis Research: Acts as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in organic synthesis and polymerization reactions, leveraging the Lewis acidic properties of the cadmium center.
• Nanomaterial Synthesis: Used as a starting material for the sol-gel or thermal decomposition synthesis of cadmium-based nanoparticles and quantum dots.
• Spectroscopic Analysis: Employed as a standard or reference compound in analytical chemistry and spectroscopic studies due to its defined structure and purity.
• Polymer Additives: Can function as a stabilizer or cross-linking agent in specific polymer formulations, though this application is highly specialized.

Quality Control

Our Cadmium Acetylacetonate Hydrate is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure a minimum purity of 99.9% (metals basis). Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by titration or ICP-OES, identification by FT-IR, and quantification of key metallic impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and trace metal content is provided with every shipment to ensure compliance with your research and production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
