General description

Cadmium acetate, also known as bis(acetoxy)cadmium, is a colorless solid. It forms a coordination polymer consisting of cadmium(II) centers interconnected by acetate ligands. We offer Cadmium (II) acetate, anhydrous, 99.995% trace metal basis.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Find details here.

Application

Cadmium acetate serves as a key precursor
  • In the nonaqueous sol–gel synthesis of high-purity CdIn₂O₄ nanoparticles, which can enhance gas-sensing capacity of ethanol sensors.
  • For the enzymatic biomineralization of CdS quantum dot nanocrystals, for use in optoelectronic devices such as quantum dot-sensitized solar cells
  • In the room-temperature synthesis of ternary CdTeSe magic-size quantum clusters, enabling precise control over nanocrystal formation in prenucleation-stage reactions
  • To cadmium selenide and related semiconductors.
