General description

Ferric Phosphate is a tan or yellowish white odorless powder. It is insoluble in water and soluble in mineral acids. It can be prepared by reacting sodium pyrophosphate with ferric citrate. It shows good bioaccesibility.

Application

Iron(III) pyrophosphate can be used:
  • As a cathode material for rechargeable batteries such as Na-ion batteries.
  • To fabricate a hybrid overlayer on the surface of metal oxides to boostphotoelectrochemical solar water splitting reaction.

Fe absorption from water-soluble forms of Fe is inversely proportional to Fe status in humans. Whether this is true for poorly soluble Fe compounds is uncertain. Our objectives were therefore (1) to compare the up-regulation of Fe absorption at low

The ionic strength of a solution decreases during the precipitation of an insoluble salt, which can cause an initially unstable colloidal system to stabilize during its formation. We show this effect in the precipitation and aging of colloidal iron(III) pyrophosphate
