| Application: | Magnesium chloride can be used: • To fabricate passivated ZnO nanoparticles as electron transport layer for PbS quantum dot solar cells. This will reduce the cell defects and significantly improves efficiency. • To prepare dual salt electrolyte for hydrid Mg/Li rechargeable batteries to enhance ionic conductivity. • As a dopant to prepare Mg doped TiO2 electron transport layer for low-temperature processed planar heterojunction perovskite solar cells. Mg doping significantly helps to enhance the power conversion efficiency of solar cells. |
