General description

Phytic acid is a mineral chelator that can bind to minerals to form mineral-phytate complex.It can also complex with metal ions bound to the surface of magnesium alloy to form a conversion coating, which can improve the resistance of magnesium alloy towards corrosion.

Application

  • Phytic acid in dental applications: A 2024 study explores the effectiveness of phytic acid as an irrigation solution to improve the adhesion and sealing properties of calcium silicate-based cements in endodontic treatments, demonstrating its potential as a chelating agent in dental procedures (Koçak Şahin and Ünal, 2024).
  • Phytic acid in energy storage: Phytic acid is utilized to stabilize magnesium metal anodes in battery technology, contributing to the development of more durable and efficient energy storage systems (Wen et al., 2024).
  • Phytic acid in battery technology: Another 2024 study incorporates phytic acid in the development of a hydrogel polymer electrolyte and cathode material for rechargeable zinc metal hydrogel batteries, highlighting its role in enhancing the performance and stability of battery systems (Dilwale et al., 2024).
  • Phytic acid in strain sensors: Research focuses on the use of a nacre-mimetic structure multifunctional ion-conductive hydrogel, enhanced by phytic acid, for developing high-performance strain sensors with significant implications in wearable technology and robotics (Wang et al., 2024).
