General description

Copper(II) acetate hydrate is a high-purity (98%), blue crystalline solid widely used as a versatile precursor for copper-based materials. Its hydrate form enhances solubility in aqueous/organic solvents, facilitating solution processing for advanced applications. Recent research emphasizes its role in sustainable energy technologies, catalysis, and functional nanomaterials, aligning with trends in green chemistry and renewable energy.

Application

Copper(II) acetate hydrate can be used as:
  • A copper source in synthesizing CuS@C nanocomposites for sodium-ion battery anodes, delivering 485 mAh/g capacity after 200 cycles.
  • A precursor to synthesize copper oxide thin films through deposition techniques like atomic layer deposition (ALD) and pulsed spray pyrolysis, enabling p-type semiconductor layers for optoelectronic applications.
  • A electrocatalyst precursor for CO2 reduction to ethanol.
  • A Precursor for superhydrophobic coatings via electrochemical deposition.
