Description

Application

Ammonium iron(II) sulfate hexahydrate can be used:

• As a precursor to synthesize iron oxide nanoparticles deposited over bismuth carbonate/ACF(fiber). This material can be used as an efficient catalyst for wastewater treatment.
• As a negative electrolyte to develop a vanadium/iron redox flow battery (V/Fe RFB).
• To modify methyl orange dye via metal insertion reaction. The modified dye acts as a light harvester on DSSC (Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell).
• As a dopant to prepare nano-titania catalyst by the sol-gel method. The doping with (NH₄)₂Fe(SO₄)₂·6H₂O leads to photocatalytic activation of titania in the visible light range.
