General description

Thulium(III) chloride hexahydrate is white crystalline water- soluble salt. Owing to its ionic conductivity and stability, it is widely used in the field of solar cells and semiconductor applications.

Application

Thulium(III) chloride hexahydrate can be used:
  • As a precursor to prepare co-doped ZrO2 with enhanced optoelectronic feature like band gap and crystal sizes. These Tm doped metal oxides are used in supercapacitors and perovskite solar cells.
  • As Tm source to synthesize NaYF4:Yb,Tm upconversion nanocrystal-semiconductor hybrid structures with wide spectrum photocatalytic activity.
  • As a dopant to prepare LaCl3:Tm3+ single crystals for ,use in spectroscopic applications for radiation detection.

The Rare Earth Crisis—The Supply/Demand Situation for 2010–2015

The rare earth elements impact nearly everyone in the world. All of the people living in advanced technological countries and almost all those living in third world countries utilize the rare earths in their everyday living—the car that one drives (gasoline is refined from oil using rare earth catalysts and catalytic converters reduce the polluting emissions from the automotive exhaust), watching the news on TV (the red and green colors in TV screens), the telephones and computers we use to communicate (the permanent magnets in speakers and disc drives), just to name a few examples.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
