Merck, M8266-1KG, Magnesium chloride

General description
Magnesium chloride is a white crystalline solid which is soluble in water and alcohol. It has cubic close packing structure with alternate layers of octahedral holes occupied by Mg2+ ions. It is widely used in the field of solar cells and batteries.
Application
Magnesium chloride can be used:
To fabricate passivated ZnO nanoparticles as electron transport layer for PbS quantum dot solar cells. This will reduce the cell defects and significantly improves efficiency.
To prepare dual salt electrolyte for hydrid Mg/Li rechargeable batteries to enhance ionic conductivity.
As a dopant to prepare Mg doped TiO2 electron transport layer for low-temperature processed planar heterojunction perovskite solar cells. Mg doping significantly helps to enhance the power conversion efficiency of solar cells.
