Information about Cadmium Acetate Dihydrate / CAS 5743-04-4
Cadmium Acetate dihydrate is a white crystalline solid. Since it is water-soluble, it makes it a valuable precursor in the manufacture of electronics, as well as pigments.
Cadmium Acetate dihydrate is used in synthesis of Cadmium Sulfide, which is a vibrant yellow color. Thus, it has been used to make Cadmium yellow pigments. Cadmium yellows have been widely used in oil paints since their discovery in the 19th century. They are also used to color ceramics, plastics, and glasses.
Cadmium Sulfide is also used to make a variety of electronics. Notably they are used as photoresistors, devices which change electrical resistance with varying light intensity. In addition, Cadmium Sulfide is also used as component in the making of solar cells.
In recent years, Cadmium Sulfide nanoparticles have been investigated for use in nanobiotechnology, particularly for bioimaging.
