General description

Aluminum isopropoxideis a metal-organic compound that consists of an aluminum atom bonded with threeisopropoxide ligands. It is used as a precursor for the synthesis of high-surfacearea alumina and other aluminum-containing materials. In addition, it is usedto prepare metalorganic chemical precursors for the growth of thinfilms and coatings.

Application

Aluminum isopropoxide can be used as:
  • Sol-gel precursor to synthesize ZnAl2O4 powders for transparent ceramics.
  • Precursor material for the fabrication of nanosized SAPO-34 zeolites with a 4-fold increase in catalytic lifetime and significantly increased selectivity.
  • A starting material to prepare long-persistent luminescence materials for display devices and bioimaging.
  • Coating material to fabricate electrodes for lithium-ion batteries to enhance cycling stability and performance.
  • A catalyst for alkylation of resorcinol with camphene.
