Description

General description

Iridium(IV) chloride hydrate is a black crystallinesolid used as a precursor to synthesize Ir-based catalysts and nanoparticles.

Application

Iridium(IV) chloride hydrate can be used:

• To fabricate an Ir-decorated graphene electrode for vanadium redox flow batteries.
• As a precursor to synthesize iridium oxide nanoparticles. These nanoparticles can act as a stable catalyst for the hydrogenation of a series of nitrogen heterocycles.
• To prepare Ir single atom catalyst (Ir₁–Ni(OH)₂) for oxygen evolution reaction.
