Product Description

Four ethyl groups, one nitrogen atom, and one iodide anion make up the quaternary ammonium salt known as tetraethylammonium iodide (TEAI). It is frequently referred to as TEAI.

In organic synthesis, TEAI is frequently employed as a phase transfer catalyst, enabling the transfer of a reactant from one phase (such as solid or liquid) to another. It can also be utilised as an emulsion stabiliser and surfactant.

TEAI can be utilised in a variety of electrochemical processes, including dye-sensitized solar cells and lithium-ion batteries, in addition to its use in organic synthesis applications.

Although TEAI is typically regarded as a secure and reliable catalyst and electrolyte, it is crucial to handle it carefully because it can be harmful if consumed or inhaled in high amounts. When working with TEAI, proper ventilation, protective gear, and safe handling techniques should always be employed. Additionally, as it can irritate skin and eyes, it's crucial to avoid contact with them.
