Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Pigments: It serves as a precursor for cadmium sulfide and cadmium selenide pigments, known for their vibrant colors and stability, used in paints, plastics, and ceramics.
  • Catalyst: It act as a catalyst in certain chemical reactions, particularly in the synthesis of organic compounds.
  • Semiconductors and Photovoltaic Devices: Cadmium nitrate is used in the synthesis of cadmium-based materials, such as semiconductors and photovoltaic devices, due to its unique electronic properties.

2. Metal Treatment

  • Electroplating: Cadmium nitrate is used in electroplating baths to deposit a thin layer of cadmium onto a metal surface. This coating improves the metal's resistance to corrosion, making it more durable and suitable for various applications. 
  • Corrosion Inhibition: The cadmium layer provides a barrier against corrosive elements, preventing rust and other forms of degradation.

3. Polymers & Resins

  • Precursor: Cadmium nitrate is used in polymers and resins as a precursor for producing cadmium-based pigments, as a catalyst in certain polymer reactions, and as a component in the creation of ion-imprinted polymers for selective metal ion removal.
