Structural formula：  

Product Description：

Properties and Usage:

1. Organic synthesis and fine chemicals

Sodium borohydride is used to reduce aldehydes and ketones to generate primary or secondary alcohols, which helps in the preparation of drugs, vitamins and spices.

It is used to reduce precious metal ions (such as gold, silver, and platinum) to generate high-purity nanoparticles.

2. New energy technology

Sodium borohydride releases hydrogen when reacting with water, which is an ideal choice for fuel cells and hydrogen storage technology.

3. Environmental protection

In the field of wastewater treatment, sodium borohydride is used to reduce hexavalent chromium to low-toxic trivalent chromium, purify wastewater, and can also effectively remove toxic metal ions such as mercury and cadmium to reduce their hazards.

4. Industry and manufacturing

Sodium borohydride is a bleaching process in the paper and textile industries.

In the field of high-energy fuels and propellants, it is used to release high-energy substances.

5. Analytical chemistry

Sodium borohydride is used as a gaseous borohydride generator in atomic absorption spectroscopy to detect heavy metal elements and improve analytical accuracy.

6. Catalysis and Materials Science

In petrochemicals and fine chemicals, sodium borohydride is used as an activator or regenerator of catalysts to optimize reaction efficiency.
