General description

Copper(II) acetate hydrate is a high-purity (98%), blue crystalline solid widely used as a versatile precursor for copper-based materials. Its hydrate form enhances solubility in aqueous/organic solvents, facilitating solution processing for advanced applications. Recent research emphasizes its role in sustainable energy technologies, catalysis, and functional nanomaterials, aligning with trends in green chemistry and renewable energy.

Application

Copper(II) acetate hydrate can be used as:
  • A copper source in synthesizing CuS@C nanocomposites for sodium-ion battery anodes, delivering 485 mAh/g capacity after 200 cycles.[1]
  • A precursor to synthesize copper oxide thin films through deposition techniques like atomic layer deposition (ALD) and pulsed spray pyrolysis, enabling p-type semiconductor layers for optoelectronic applications.[2]
  • A electrocatalyst precursor for CO2 reduction to ethanol. [3]
  • A Precursor for superhydrophobic coatings via electrochemical deposition.[4]

Copper metal deposition processes are an essential tool for depositing interconnects used in microelectronic applications, giving group 11 (coinage metals: Copper, Silver, and Gold) an important place in atomic layer deposition (ALD) process development.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
