Hafnium Chloride Key Features

High reactivity

Hafnium chloride is a strong and highly reactive Lewis acid. It plays a crucial role in catalytic reactions, particularly Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions, effectively accelerating organic synthesis processes.

High reactivity

In high temperature environments, HfCl₄ has excellent thermal stability and can maintain its structure and chemical activity at extreme temperatures, making it particularly suitable for the production of high-temperature alloys.

Strong hygroscopicity

Hafnium chloride is highly hygroscopic and reacts rapidly with water to form hydrogen chloride and hafnium hydroxide. Therefore, special care must be taken during storage and transportation to avoid contact with moisture.

Catalytic

The catalytic properties of HfCl₄ make it widely used in organic synthesis, especially in the synthesis of high-end chemicals and materials, where it can significantly improve yields and reaction rates.

Hafnium Chloride Main Applications

Semiconductor manufacturing

Hafnium chloride is used in the semiconductor industry to produce high-quality thin film materials, particularly in the preparation of high-dielectric-constant materials. It is a core raw material for manufacturing high-performance transistors and other microelectronic components.

Catalyst

HfCl₄ is widely used in Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions. It is used as a catalyst to promote organic chemical reactions and is widely used in petrochemical, pharmaceutical and dye manufacturing fields.

High temperature alloy

Due to its excellent high temperature stability, Hafnium chloride is often used in the production of high temperature alloys, especially in the aerospace and energy fields, to improve the corrosion resistance and thermal stability of the alloys.

Nuclear energy industry

HfCl₄ is used as a neutron absorbing material in the nuclear energy industry. It can effectively control the neutron flux in nuclear reactors and play a role in controlling the reaction rate.

ALD/CVD

High-purity Hafnium(IV) Chloride is the primary precursor for the deposition of Hafnium Oxide (HfO2) thin films used in High-k dielectrics for CMOS gates and DRAM capacitors. Our HfCl₄ is strictly controlled for moisture and oxygen sensitivity to ensure consistent vapor pressure.

Precautions

  1. Hafnium chloride reacts violently with water, releasing hydrogen chloride gas and creating a highly corrosive environment. Therefore, avoid contact with water during storage.

  2. HfCl₄ should be stored in a sealed container away from moisture. It is best to store it in a dry, cool place to prevent it from absorbing moisture or undergoing hydrolysis.

  3. Hafnium chloride is highly corrosive, avoid contact with skin. If it accidentally comes into contact with skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical help if you experience any discomfort.

  4. When handling and storing HfCl₄, always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including acid-resistant gloves, goggles, and protective clothing to prevent contact with or inhalation of its hazardous fumes.

  5. Hafnium chloride should not come into contact with reducing agents such as hydrogen or other reducing chemicals as a dangerous reaction may occur.

FAQ

1. What are the main applications of hafnium chloride?

Hafnium chloride is mainly used in semiconductor manufacturing, catalyst synthesis, high-temperature alloy production and other fields, especially as a catalyst in organic synthesis reactions.


2. Is hafnium chloride corrosive?

Yes, hafnium chloride is highly corrosive. When it comes into contact with water, it releases hydrogen chloride gas, which is very corrosive and requires extreme caution when used.


3. How to store hafnium chloride?

Hafnium chloride should be stored in sealed, moisture-proof containers and avoid contact with water. The storage environment should be dry and cool to ensure its stability.
