| 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. |
