Description

• General description: Zirconium(IV) acetylacetonate is a white crystalline organometallic solid widely used as a sol-gel precursor to synthesize Zirconium-based nanomaterials and thin films. It also finds application in the field of catalysis and polymer synthesis.
• Application: Zirconium(IV) acetylacetonate can be used:As a sol-gel precursor to synthesize zirconia nanoparticles with photocatalytic activity.[1]As an additive to improve the performance of the electron transport layer in perovskite solar cells.[2]To synthesize as-prepared zirconium acetylacetonate (a-ZrAcac) film as a cathode buffer layer in polymer solar cells. It exhibited an average power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.75% which is significantly improved than that of the devices with traditional Ca/Al cathode.[3]To synthesize high-κ zirconium oxide gate dielectric for Organic Field-Effect Transistors at low voltage operation.[4]To fabricate the conductive interlayers for quantum dot light-emitting devices(QLEDs), which enhances quantum efficiency, power efficiency, and longer operational lifetimes.[5]As a ring-opening initiator to synthesize biodegradable polyacids.[6]As a catalyst to synthesize polylactide terpolymers.[7]
