Industrial Uses

1. Energy

  • CdS Buffer Layers: Cadmium acetate is a common precursor for electrodepositing or chemically synthesizing CdS thin films. These CdS layers act as a buffer between the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) and the absorber layer in solar cells, helping to improve the efficiency and performance of the device.
  • Perovskite Solar Cells: Cadmium acetate has also been used to optimize perovskite solar cells by passivating defects in the perovskite material. For example, Cd2+ and Ac- ions from cadmium acetate have been shown to improve the power conversion efficiency of carbon-based CsPbI2Br perovskite solar cells.
  • Transparent Conductive Films: Cadmium oxide (CdO) thin films, which can be synthesized using cadmium acetate, are used as transparent conductive electrodes in various optoelectronic devices.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • Precursor: Cadmium acetate is used in performance chemicals as a precursor for synthesizing various cadmium-based compounds, particularly in electronics and materials science.

3. Fabric Solutions

  • Pigment: Cadmium acetate is used in the textile industry for dyeing and printing fabrics, particularly to achieve specific, vibrant colors. It's used as a pigment or in the preparation of pigments, contributing to the overall color effect of the fabric.
