In a research paper published on Journal of Advanced Research (Elsevier) in March 2019, scientists found that tin chloride acts as a catalyst to enhance the electro-catalytic activity during the synthesis of NiSn alloy nanoparticle. NiSn alloy is further used to manufacture urea fuel cells. New innovations in the electrical & electronics industry will further drive the growth of tin chloride market globally.
In July 2018, European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved Stannous Chloride (Tin Chloride) to be used as a food additive. Tin chloride acts as an antioxidant as well as provides color retention. Increasing demand for tin chloride in food & beverage industry is set to drive the global tin chloride market.
In January 2018, in a research article published on Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ASP) studied the use of tin chloride in the synthesis of SnS2 nanoparticles which is further used as a photocatalyst. Increasing use of tin chloride for nanotechnology application is driving the global tin chloride market.
