Application

Cadmium(II) acetate, a white crystalline powder, serves a significant role in the synthesis of advanced materials. It enables the production of cadmium oxide (CdO) thin films, which are integral to the development of gas sensors, phototransistors, and diodes. Additionally, it facilitates the creation of cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles, crucial for various optoelectronic devices. Despite its utility in these technological applications, handling cadmium acetate requires caution due to potential decomposition into toxic cadmium oxide fumes and its incompatibility with several substances, including oxidizing agents and certain metals.
