General description

Terbium(III) acetate hydrate is a crystalline compound with a high boiling and melting point. Due to its luminescent properties, it is mainly used as a precursor to produce phosphors, scintillators, catalysts, and magneto-optic materials.

Application

Terbium(III) acetate hydrate can be used:
  • As a precursor to prepare terbium oxide catalyst.
  • As a surface passivator to fabricate photoluminescent carbon quantum dots.
  • As a dopant to prepare Li co-doped ZnO nanoparticles which can be applied in electro-optic and magnetic devices.
  • As a sol-gel precursor to prepare lead zirconate titanate thin films.

Paramagnetic gadolinium (Gd(3+))-based nanocrystals (NCs) with a large number of confined gadolinium ions can be expected to heavily enhance the longitudinal (T1) relaxation of water protons compared to clinical gadolinium complexes with only a single paramagnetic center. However, paramagnetic Gd(3+)-NCs

The application of magnetism and magnetic materials pervades our modern civilization in the form of electrical power, communications and information storage.

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.
