General description

Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate is a white hygroscopic compounds and soluble in water. It is the source of Mg²⁺ ions. It is a source of high purity compounds, catalysts and nanomaterials.

Application

Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate is key components for the synthesis of nanomaterials, nanocrystals, and catalyst due to it solubilty in water. It can be used as

A key components for the synthesis of spinel magnesium manganese oxide (Mg_0.5Mn_2.5O₄ ) through one-step colloidal synthesis method. The nanocrystals has exhibited significant electrochemical activities in presence of diverse electrolytes.
A starting materials for the production of Mesoporous (ZnO)_x(MgO)1^−x nanoplates by a template-free solvothermal synthetic method followed by subsequent calcination. These materials exhibit a band gap resulting from the presence of ZnO and MgO. The broad peaks observed in the 400-700 nm range indicate the presence of oxygen vacancy defects on the surface of the (ZnO)_x(MgO)1^−x nanoplates. These nanocrystals showed superior photocatalytic activities for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) in aqueous solution.
To the synthesis of hydrophobic antireflective films of MgF₂ with silicon modified with enhenced durability through sol-gel method.
As a material for synthesizing carbon nanoribbons using ferrocene at high temperatures. The resulting nanoribbons exhibit a remarkably high surface area and demonstrate a stable reversible capacity of 750 mA h g⁻¹ after 300 cycles in a charge-discharge experiment conducted at 0.5 A g⁻¹. Due to these properties, it would be highly beneficial as an electrode material in electronic devices.
