General description

Cadmium chloride is colorless, odorless, and highly soluble in water. It is widely used in the field of catalysis and perovskite solar cells.

Application

Cadmium chloride can be used:
  • As an additive to fabricate perovskite solar cells to improve long-term stability and performance. The incorporation of Cd ions enhances optical absorption and carrier transfer.
  • As a precursor to synthesize functionalized cadmium telluride quantum dots for fluorescent immunosensors.
It can also be used as a catalyst for:
  • Aza-Michael reaction of electron-deficient alkene and a wide range of amines.
  • The one-pot synthesis of dihydropyrimidones via the Biginelli reaction.
  • The synthesis of benimidazoles.

Colloidal quantum dots are emerging solution-processed materials for large-scale and low-cost photovoltaics. The recent advent of quantum dot inks has overcome the prior need for solid-state exchanges that previously added cost, complexity, and morphological disruption to the quantum dot solid.
