| Application: | Hafnium(IV) chloride can be used as: • A precursor in the synthesis of lithium hafnium phosphate, which is a solid electrolyte material used in lithium batteries due to its high ionic conductivity and chemical stability. • A catalyst in the acetalization process of various carbonyl compounds, including aldehydes and ketones. • A catalyst in the direct ester condensation of carboxylic acids with alcohols. • A high-capacity cathode material for lithium and sodium-ion batteries. |
| General description: | Hafnium(IV) chloride, also known as hafnium tetrachloride, is commonly used as a precursor in the production of hafnium metal and various hafnium compounds. Additionally, it serves as a catalyst in certain organic synthesis reactions. Due to its reactivity and sensitivity to moisture, hafnium(IV) chloride is typically handled under an inert atmosphere. |
