Used as a catalyst in organic synthesis reactions, particularly in selective oxidation and alkylation processes. Exhibits utility in solid-state chemistry for developing luminescent materials and phosphors in optoelectronic devices. Employed in the fabrication of ceramic coatings with thermal stability and corrosion resistance. Investigated for use in ion-conducting membranes due to its structural framework that supports ion exchange. Also applied in the synthesis of hybrid inorganic-organic materials for sensor development and environmental monitoring.
