Description

General description

Aluminum nitrate nonahydrate is a crystalline aluminum salt of nitric acid primarily used as a catalyst in manufacturing petroleum products, including gasoline and other fuels. It is also used in the production of aluminum oxide and the fabrication of cathode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Application

Aluminum nitrate nonahydrate can be used as a precursor to synthesize:

• AlF₃-coated LiCoO₂, which is used to prepare a blend composite cathode with Li [Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3] O₂ for Li-ion batteries.
• Disperse alumina.
• Alumina gel by sol-gel method and pure gamma alumina by hydrolysis.
• Nanocrystalline ZnAl₂O₄ by hydrothermal method.
• Magnesium aluminum layered hydroxides which are applicable as nanocontainers of corrosion inhibitors for protective organic coatings.
