Application:	Iron(III) acetylacetonate can be used as: • A iron precursor for the synthesis of Fe₃O₄/carbon composite fibers via forcespinning technique. This composite material used in the formation of high-performance anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. • A precursor for the synthesis of iron-containing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for the applications in rechargeable alkali-ion batteries. • An additive to enhance the efficiency of the N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) catalyst in the oxidation of cumene. • A solvent activation agent in the fabrication of polyamide membranes, which are used in reverse osmosis (RO) applications. • As a MOCVD precursor for highly crystalline (Zn,Fe)Fe₂O₄ films and magnetic property measurements of these films. Iron (III) acetylacetonate may be used as a precursor for the synthesis of water-soluble magnetite nanoparticles, which may find applications in magnetic hyperthermia treatment. • As a MOCVD precursor for highly crystalline (Zn,Fe)Fe₂O₄ films and magnetic property measurements of these films.
Application:	MOCVD precursor for highly crystalline (Zn,Fe)Fe₂O₄ films and magnetic property measurements of these films.
