Used in the preparation of strontium-containing ceramic materials for electronic applications, particularly in the synthesis of strontium titanate and other perovskite-type oxides. Serves as a precursor in sol-gel processes for thin film coatings with dielectric properties. Employed in the formulation of specialty catalysts and in the development of phosphors for lighting and display technologies. Also utilized in research settings for the controlled release of strontium ions in biomedical material studies.
