| Application: | Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) has been used as an activation agent during the synthesis of phenolic based chemically activated carbon fibers (CAFs). It may also be employed as a catalyst in the preparation of carbonyl-methylene condensation products and poly(propylene fumarate). ZnCl2 mayalso be used as a catalyst for the Knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with substituted acetonitriles to form carbonyl-methylene products under solvent-free conditions. The activation of sugar cane bagasse with zinc chloride forms activated carbons for use as supercapacitor electrodes. |
