Used as a precursor in the synthesis of tin-based nanomaterials and thin films for electronic and optoelectronic applications. Employed in electroplating processes to deposit tin or tin alloy coatings, offering good corrosion resistance and solderability. Acts as a reducing agent and catalyst in certain organic reactions. Investigated for use in lithium-ion battery anode materials due to tin’s ability to intercalate lithium ions. Also applied in the preparation of sensitizers in photographic emulsions and as a dopant source in semiconductor manufacturing.
