Used in electroplating processes to produce corrosion-resistant coatings on metals, particularly in aerospace and automotive industries.

Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of cadmium-based semiconductors such as cadmium telluride (CdTe) for solar cells.

Employed in the preparation of phosphors for certain types of fluorescent lamps and display technologies.

Utilized in laboratories as a reagent for analytical chemistry and in the calibration of instruments.

Applied in the textile industry for dye fixation and as a mordant in printing processes.

Also used as a catalyst in organic synthesis reactions, particularly those involving environmentally sensitive functional groups.

Handle and use with caution due to high toxicity to humans and the environment, especially via inhalation or skin contact.
