Cadmium

About Cadmium

Cadmium is a silvery metal with a bluish tinge to its surface. Cadmium is a poison and is known to cause birth defects and cancer. As a result, there are moves to limit its use.

80% of cadmium currently produced is used in rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries. However, they are gradually being phased out and replaced with nickel metal hydride batteries.

Cadmium was often used to electroplate steel and protect it from corrosion. It is still used today to protect critical components of airplanes and oil platforms.

Other past uses of cadmium included phosphors in cathode ray tube color TV sets and yellow, orange and red pigments.
Cadmium absorbs neutrons and so is used in rods in nuclear reactors to control atomic fission.

Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) manufactures and supplies high-quality Cadmium Selenide Powder (CdSe Powder), Cadmium Sulfide Powder (CdS Powder), and Cadmium Metal (Cd Metal).

Cadmium Key Features:

Electrical Excellence: Cadmium's exceptional electrical conductivity and stability make it a prime choice for electrical contacts, connectors, and semiconductors in a variety of electronic devices. Its role in enhancing connectivity and performance is indispensable.

Corrosion Resistance: Cadmium's natural resistance to corrosion has made it a preferred material for plating, coating, and protecting other metals from degradation in harsh environments. Its ability to preserve integrity ensures the longevity of components and structures.

Batteries and Energy Storage: Cadmium-based batteries, such as nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries, have been a staple in various applications due to their high energy density and reliability. They've powered everything from portable electronics to emergency backup systems.

Vibrant Pigments: Cadmium compounds have long been used to create vivid and stable pigments for art, coatings, and plastics. Their ability to maintain color intensity even in harsh conditions adds an artistic touch to various industries.

Nuclear Applications: Cadmium's excellent neutron-absorbing properties make it crucial in nuclear reactors for controlling reactions and preventing overheating, contributing to safety and efficiency.

Cadmium Applications:

Electronics: Cadmium plays a pivotal role in electrical contacts, connectors, and semiconductors, boosting the performance of electronic devices.

Corrosion Protection: Cadmium plating and coatings shield metals from corrosion, prolonging the lifespan of components in various industries.

Energy Storage: Cadmium-based batteries provide reliable energy storage for portable electronics, emergency systems, and more.

Art and Coatings: Cadmium pigments offer vibrant, long-lasting colors for artistic creations, coatings, and plastics.

Nuclear Technology: Cadmium's neutron-absorbing properties are essential in nuclear reactors for safety and control.
