Description

General description

Aluminum isopropoxideis a metal-organic compound that consists of an aluminum atom bonded with threeisopropoxide ligands. It is used as a precursor for the synthesis of high-surfacearea alumina and other aluminum-containing materials. In addition, it is usedto prepare metalorganic chemical precursors for the growth of thinfilms and coatings.[1]

Application

Aluminum isopropoxide can be used as:

• Sol-gel precursor to synthesize ZnAl₂O₄ powders for transparent ceramics.[1]
• Precursor material for the fabrication of nanosized SAPO-34 zeolites with a 4-fold increase in catalytic lifetime and significantly increased selectivity.[2]
• A starting material to prepare long-persistent luminescence materials for display devices and bioimaging.
• Coating material to fabricate electrodes for lithium-ion batteries to enhance cycling stability and performance.[3]
• A catalyst for alkylation of resorcinol with camphene.
