General description
Aluminum chloride is a strong Lewis acid and a major industrial catalyst. It is also used as a dopant/catalyst modifier to fabricate battery materials and solar cells.
Application
Aluminum chloride can be used:
- To prepare cost-effective ionic liquid electrolyte for high performance aluminum ion battery.
- To fabricate modified SnO2 triple layered photoanode for dye sensitized solar cells. This leads to suppression of electron recombination and five-fold enhancement of efficiency.
- As a precursor to synthesize CsPbCl3 perovskite nanocrystals for bright white light-emitting diodes. It improves photoluminescence quantum yield.
Features and Benefits
- High purity with trace metal analysis (=< 15 ppm) makes suitable for batteries.
- High water solubility
- Stable under battery operation conditions
The vapor-phase co-reductions with other metal halides by hydrogen results in finely divided intermetallics with applications as structural materials or compounds with useful thermoelectric, magnetic, and oxidation-resistance properties. Aluminum nitride can be synthesized from the elemnts with AlCl3 added to help facilitate crystallization.
