| Application: | Gallium (III) nitrate hydrate can be used as a: • Catalyst in the epoxidation of olefins in presence of hydrogen peroxide. • Dopant in the preparation of ZnO nanorod arrays. The addition of Ga can improve the luminescence quality of ZnO nanorods. • Precursor to synthesize Ga-MCM-41 materials (mesoporous silicate molecular sieves). Ga-MCM-41 can act as a catalyst in the liquid-phase isomerization of α-pinene. |
| General description: | Gallium nitrate is the anhydrate salt of the naturally occurring heavy metal. |
