Sodium dihydrogen citrate acts as a buffering agent and sequestrant. It is also employed as a reductant and stabilizer in the preparation of b>Fe3O4 platinum core/shell particles. Further, it is used in electrochemical reduction of proton at carbon fiber electrode in the presence and absence of platinum nanoparticles. In addition to this, it plays a useful role in characterization of carbon-based electrode materials as cathode in half-cell configuration.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
