Application Field

The Energy sector

Fuel additives: AS rocket fuel additives, gasoline anti-knock agent and rubber and silicone resin curing agent, added to gasoline and diesel, can improve combustion efficiency, reduce smoke emissions, reduce energy consumption, and improve engine performance, but also can be used as synthetic gasoline, artificial liquefied gas additives.

Burning rate regulator

It is the core functional component of solid propellants. Ferrocene and its derivatives are widely used as burning rate regulators due to their excellent catalytic activity in the composite solid propellants with ammonium perchlorate as oxidant, butylated hydroxyglue as binder and metal aluminum powder as fuel.

Medicine Field

Drug development: Ferrocene and its derivatives can interact with biological molecules such as enzymes and DNA in cells, and have been studied for the treatment of anemia, cancer and other diseases, and have shown good efficacy.

Photosensitizer: can be used as photodynamic therapy photosensitizer, through photocatalytic action to kill cancer cells.

Agriculture Field

Ammonia catalyst: As a catalyst in the process of ammonia synthesis, it promotes chemical reactions and improves agricultural production efficiency.

Iron fertilizer: beneficial to plant absorption, increase the iron content of crops, adding ferrocene in lubrizing oil can improve load resistance.

Materials Science Field

Polymer materials: The vinyl derivatives of ferrocene can undergo ene bond polymerization, resulting in a metal containing polymer of carbon chain skeleton, which can be used as the outer coating of spacecraft.

Electrochemical materials: Ferrocene and its derivatives have unique electrochemical properties, which can be used to prepare electrode materials, battery materials, etc., and have potential applications in electrochemical sensors, supercapacitors, etc
