General description

Ytterbium(III) chloride hexahydrate is a white crystalline solid used as a precursor to synthesize nanomaterials and as acatalyst in various organic transformations.

Application

Ytterbium(III) chloride hexahydrate can be used as a precursor:
  • To synthesize ytterbium oxide nanodiscs to fabricate white LEDs.
  • To prepare NaYF4:Yb/Ho/Mn upconversion nanoparticles with good luminescent intensity, for biomedical applications.
  • To fabricate three-dimensional NaYF4:Yb3+/Tm3+hexagonal prisms for near IR photocatalytic H2 evolution.

NaYF4:Yb(3+)/Er(3+) nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal decomposition of lanthanide trifluoroacetates using oleylamine (OM) as both solvent and surface binding ligand. The effect of reaction temperature and time on the properties of the particles was investigated. The nanoparticles were characterized by

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.
