General description

Ytterbium(III) nitrate pentahydrate is a white hygroscopic salt. It is soluble in water and ethanol. It is widely used for the synthesis of ceramics.

Application

Ytterbium(III) nitrate pentahydrate can be used:
  • As a precursor to prepare Tb3+–Yb3+ co-doped CaF2 phosphors prepared by combustion synthesis.
  • As a dopant to synthesize Cs2AgInCl6 double perovskite with optical functionality in the NIR(near infrared) window.
It forms superhydrophobic ceramic coating by using Solution Precursor Plasma Spray.

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.
