General description

Lead(II) acetate trihydrate is a widely used in the field of textile dyeing, varnishes, waterproofing and insecticides.

Application

Desulfurization reagent; also used as neutralization of HCl.
Lead(II) acetate trihydrate is used:
  • In the preparation of lead lanthanum zirconate stannate titanate (PbLa(ZrSnTi)O3) antiferroelectric (AFE) ceramics for dielectric capacitors
  • As a precursor to synthesize lead chalcogenides such as lead sulfide (PbS), lead selenide (PbSe) and lead telluride (PbTe) nanostructures.
  • In the synthesis of organic-inorganic halide perovskites (OIHPs) as optoelectronic materials for solar cells and light-emitting diodes.

Highly Efficient Nanoscale Inorganic Light Harvesters for Dye-sensitized Solar Cells

Since the first report of the low-cost dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) in 1991 by Gratzel and his coworker,1 dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) has been regarded as one of the most promising photovoltaic technologies because of their transparent and colorful characteristics, as well as low cost.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
