Application

Zinc iodide can be used:
  • As an activator to synthesize poly(vinyl methyl ether) via living cationic polymerization. ZnI2 is known to produce living vinyl ether polymerizations.
  • To prepare precursor solutions for lead halide perovskite solar cells. The addition of ZnI2 leads to higher stability against environmental moisture when introduced into perovskite cells.

We present a one-step method to produce air-stable, large-grain mixed cationic lead perovskite films and powders under ambient conditions. The introduction of 2.5 % of Zn(II), confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), results in stable thin films which show the same

Simple and efficient syntheses, catalysed by a mixed Lewis acid system (ZrCl(4)/ZnI(2)), of enantiomerically pure 2- and 2,3-disubstituted furan derivatives--including important synthons such as 3-iodofuran and 3-(hydroxymethyl)furan derivatives--from commercially available 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal are described. The transformation is achieved through a synergistic

Methods of Synthesizing Monodisperse Colloidal Quantum Dots

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals of only a few nanometers (ca. 2–12 nm) coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to help prevent agglomeration.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
