Merck, 325678-100G, Gadolinium(III) acetate hydrate

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.
