Application: Potassium tetraborate tetrahydrate can be used:

• As an electrolyte for electrochemical water splitting reaction. The addition of K2B4O7 · 4H2O enhances the oxygen evolution activity of the catalyst.
•  To synthesize carbon foams with hierarchical pores, for supercapacitors. K2B4O7 · 4H2O helps to tune the pore structure of carbon foams.
• To prepare green formulation for the removal of pyrite(FeS2) scales from oil and gas tubings.
General description: Potassium tetraborate tetrahydrate(K2B4O7· 4H2O) is a white crystalline salt with good buffering properties. It is widely used in the field of electrochemical water splitting, disinfectant, and the oil and gas industry.
