General description

Zirconium(IV) butoxide solution is a high-purity organometallic reagent, consisting of 80 wt.% zirconium butoxide dissolved in 1-butanol. It is primarily as a catalyst and precursor for the synthesis of advanced ceramic materials, thin films, and nanostructures. Its controlled decomposition and film-forming properties zirconium(IV) butoxide used in the fabrication of zirconia-based (ZrO₂) coatings, aerogels, and nanomaterials.

Application

Used in an unconventional method to prepare a gel of CeO2-stabilized zirconia polycrystals that have promising applications as protective coatings of steel and ferrous alloys.
Zirconium(IV) butoxide can be used as:
  • A precursor in the sol-gel synthesis of zirconium carbide (ZrC) for applications in energy storage devices, including supercapacitors.
  • A precursor for synthesizing zirconia (ZrO₂) nanolayers. These nanolayers are in situ grown on polyimide (PI) nanofibers to fabricate hybrid separators for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
  • A precursor to synthesize zirconia (ZrO₂) nanocrystals via Solvothermal method.
  • A precursor to synthesize zirconium carbide (ZrC) via sol-gel method.

Features and Benefits

  • High Thermal Stability: Enables formation of thermally stable ceramic coatings and films.
  • Easy handling: Often provided as a stabilized solution (in alcohol) for ease of handling.
  • Solubility: Soluble in organic solvents like alcohols and hydrocarbons, making it suitable for sol-gel processing.

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
