Merck, 199974-100G, Aluminum oxide

General description
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which belong to one of the four categories of greener alternatives. Aluminum oxide serves as a multifunctional additive or coating in lithium-ion batteries, helping stabilize electrode–electrolyte interfaces, suppress side reactions, improve thermal stability, and extend cycle life. By enabling safer, longer-lasting cells, it reduces material waste and energy use across the battery lifecycle. Click here for more information.
The mechanism of formation of protective scales of α-Al₂O₃ on surfaces of binary M-Al (M = Fe, Ni or Co) alloys at high temperatures has been studied. Activated aluminum oxides having different acidities and water concentrations (having Brockmann activity I-V) can easily detect various types of water (namely free water, pore water, and bound water) on the aluminum oxide present in soils.
Application
Aluminum oxide (Alumina, Al₂O₃) has been used in the preparation of one-step self-assembled double-helices of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) arrays (composed of Fe nanoparticles bound to SiOx micro-particles).
Aluminum oxide (neutral) has been used in the preparation of alumina supported silver (Ag/Al₂O₃) catalyst suitable for selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by hydrocarbons (HC-SCR).
Packaging
Brockmann aluminum oxides are suitable for column chromatography and adsorptive filtration.
