General description

Gadolinium(III) acetate hydrate is a high-purity, crystalline compound used as a key precursor for gadolinium-based materials. It is widely used in the fabrication of MRI contrast agents, luminescent materials, perovskite solar cells, and thin-film coatings.

Application

  • Gadolinium(III) acetate hydrate is a key precursor in MRI contrast agents, leveraging Gd³⁺’s strong paramagnetism to enhance imaging for neurological and cardiovascular diagnostics.
  • It boosts the performance of perovskite nanocrystals, improving solar cell efficiency and LED brightness through enhanced charge stability and color purity.
  • When used to dope α-MnO₂ nanorods, it increases conductivity and porosity, significantly enhancing their capacitance and charge retention for high-performance supercapacitors.
