Industrial Uses

1. Energy

  • Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) Batteries: Cadmium sulfate is a crucial ingredient in the manufacture of Ni-Cd batteries, which are known for their reliability and ability to withstand deep discharges. These batteries are commonly used in portable electronic devices and power tools. 
  • Solar Cells: Cadmium sulfate is used in the production of cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells, which are a type of thin-film solar cell. These cells are known for their relatively high efficiency and are used in various solar energy applications.
  • Weston Standard Cell: Cadmium sulfate serves as the electrolyte in the Weston standard cell, a device used as a voltage reference in electrical measurements.

2. Metal Treatment

  • Electroplating: Cadmium sulfate is used in electroplating processes to apply a protective layer of cadmium onto other metals, such as steel, iron, and aluminum. This process enhances corrosion resistance and is used in various industries, including electronics and aerospace.

3. Performance Chemicals

  • Precursor for Cadmium Sulfide (CdS): Cadmium sulfate is a common starting material for synthesizing cadmium sulfide (CdS), a semiconductor with applications in solar cells, LEDs, and other optoelectronic devices. CdS can be synthesized from cadmium sulfate using various methods, including chemical precipitation, hydrothermal synthesis, and the use of thiourea and metal nitrates.
