General description

Copper chloride is a white solid. It is insoluble in water. Copper(II) chloride may be prepared by dissolving excess of copper (II) oxide or copper(II) carbonate in dilute hydrochloric acid.

Application

Adding CuCl2 to AgNO3 with EG1mYAbe is used to produce uniform Ag nanowires. Copper chloride may be used as a catalyst in organic chlorination reactions. Used with palladium in a catalytic synthesis of 3-haloindoles via an annulation process.

Thermoelectric Performance of Perovskite-type Oxide Materials

Spectral conversion for solar cells is an emerging concept in the field of photovoltaics, and it has the potential to increase significantly the efficiency of solar cells. Lanthanide ions are ideal candidates for spectral conversion, due to their high luminescence efficiencies and rich energy level structure that allows for great flexibility in the upconversion and downconversion of photons in a wide spectral region (NIR-VIS-UV).
