Application

Lead(II) acetate trihydrate can be used as:
  • A precursor in the solution synthesis of lead halide perovskite thin films for solar cells and photodetectors, enabling the fabrication of high-quality, uniform films with excellent optoelectronic properties.
  • A reagent for the synthesis of lead-based nanomaterials, such as PbS and PbSe quantum dots, which are used in photodetectors, sensors, and biomedical imaging.
  • A key component in the fabrication of platinum black microelectrodes.

Features and Benefits

  • High Water Solubility: Easily dissolves in water and other polar solvents, facilitating its use in aqueous solutions for synthesis and analytical applications
  • Reactivity: Acts as an efficient reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in acetylation reactions and as a catalyst for oxidative coupling of phenols

General description

Lead(II) acetate trihydrate [Pb(C2H3O2)2 3H2O] is a high-purity, water-soluble inorganic compound widely used as a precursor in the synthesis of advanced functional materials. Its solubility and reactivity make it valuable for the synthesis of lead-based perovskites, nanomaterials, and as a reagent in organic transformations. The compound is also used in analytical chemistry and as a mordant in textile dyeing. Due to its toxicity, handling and disposal require strict safety protocols.
