General description

Electrodeposition of zinc on glassy carbon and nickel substrates in zinc chloride-1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride molten salt is studied.

Application

Zinc Chloride may be used:
  • as catalyst in knoevenagel condensation of carbonyl substrates with acidic methylene reagents
  • in the preparation of porous carbon nanofibers, useful in the fabrication of efficient electrodes for supercapacitors
  • as a catalyst in preparation of poly(propylene fumarate)
  • in the low temperature synthesis of nanocrystalline zinc oxide films
  • in the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles with low agglomeration. Aqueous suspensions of the nanoparticles displayed high transmittance in the visible light range, but exhibited strong absorption in the UV range.

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.
