General description

Magnesium chloride is a white crystalline solid which is soluble in water and alcohol. It has cubic close packing structure with alternate layers of octahedral holes occupied by Mg2+ ions. It is widely used in the field of solar cells and batteries.

Application

Magnesium chloride can be used:
  • To fabricate passivated ZnO nanoparticles as electron transport layer for PbS quantum dot solar cells. This will reduce the cell defects and significantly improves efficiency.
  • To prepare dual salt electrolyte for hydrid Mg/Li rechargeable batteries to enhance ionic conductivity.
  • As a dopant to prepare Mg doped TiO2 electron transport layer for low-temperature processed planar heterojunction perovskite solar cells. Mg doping significantly helps to enhance the power conversion efficiency of solar cells.

Disclaimer

The appearance of gray/black specks should not affect use.
