BioFuran Materials LLC Cesium Formate Monohydrate

Energy harvesting

• Shale drilling mud,

Biomedical

• DNA purification, DNA recovery, medical isotopes, electrolyte.

High-tech

• Excellent cesium precursor (replacing less soluble salts) for cesium lead halide perovskite nanoparticles high-density alkaline batteries, and coatings for solar cells.

Manufacturing & Catalysis

• Specialty glasses manufacturing
• Organic synthesis
• Metallurgical testing as a dense medium
• Urethane foam production catalysts,
• Petroleum refining catalysts
• In reaction chemistry, organic cesium salt reagents are more preferred over their cheaper alkali metal counterparts. The higher cost of cesium salts is offset by clear ‘Cesium Effect’ advantages such as higher yields, shorter reaction times, smaller amounts reagents required, milder reaction conditions and easier work-up procedures.
