General description

Europium(III) nitrate pentahydrate is a white crystalline solid with luminescent properties. It is widely used as a precursor to fabricate nanomaterials and perovskite solar cells.

Application

Europium(III) nitrate pentahydrate can be used:
  • As a precursor to synthesize Y2O3:Eu3+ thin-film phosphors by sol-gel method for display applications.
  • As a dopant to prepare crystalline nanophosphors. These are suitable for bioimaging as they are hydrophilic in nature and white light-emitting diodes.
  • To fabricate dye-sensitized solar cells with enhanced light-harvesting efficiency.
  • As a dopant to prepare various metal oxide nanoparticles, for example, ZnO nanoparticles for photocatalytic application.

Lanthanide Ions as Photon Managers for Solar Cells

Spectral conversion for solar cells is an emerging concept in the field of photovoltaics, and it has the potential to increase significantly the efficiency of solar cells. Lanthanide ions are ideal candidates for spectral conversion, due to their high luminescence efficiencies and rich energy level structure that allows for great flexibility in the upconversion and downconversion of photons in a wide spectral region (NIR-VIS-UV).

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.
