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.

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.
