Key Applications
This high-purity gallium chloride excels in:
Semiconductor research: Essential for growing gallium nitride (GaN) thin films used in LEDs and power electronics.
Organic synthesis: Acts as a powerful Lewis acid catalyst for Friedel-Crafts reactions and other transformations.
Material science: Used in the preparation of gallium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
Electrochemistry: Serves as a precursor for gallium-containing electrolytes in battery research.
Why This Grade Matters
Not all gallium chloride is created equal. The 99.999% metals basis specification means:
Fewer impurities: Trace metals like iron, copper, and nickel are reduced to parts-per-million levels.
Better reproducibility: Consistent batch-to-batch performance for reliable experimental outcomes.
Longer shelf life: The UltraDry™ packaging prevents hydrolysis, extending usability.
For researchers who can’t afford compromises, this is the gallium chloride to trust. Order your 5g, 25g, or 100g pack today and experience the difference purity makes.
Safety and Handling
Gallium(III) chloride is highly hygroscopic and corrosive. Always handle in a fume hood with appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, lab coat). Store in a desiccator under inert gas to maintain purity. In case of skin contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
FAQs
What makes UltraDry™ gallium chloride different from standard grades?
The UltraDry™ process removes moisture to extremely low levels (typically <50 ppm), preventing hydrolysis and ensuring stability in air-sensitive applications. Standard grades may contain higher water content, leading to inconsistent results.
Can I use this for semiconductor deposition?
Absolutely. The 99.999% purity makes it suitable for MOCVD and other thin-film deposition techniques where metal impurities would degrade device performance.
How should I store this product to maintain purity?
Keep the container tightly sealed in a desiccator under nitrogen or argon. Avoid exposure to air, and use a glove box for weighing if possible.
What’s the typical lead time for delivery?
Most orders ship within 2-3 business days. eqipped offers express delivery options for urgent research needs—check at checkout.
Is this the same as gallium trichloride?
Yes, Gallium(III) chloride is the IUPAC name for gallium trichloride (GaCl₃). This product is the anhydrous form, not the hydrated version.
