Europium Oxide (Eu2O3) Powder

Product Information

Europium Oxide is a highly insoluble thermally stable Europium source suitable for glass, optic and ceramic applications. Europium Oxide Powder, also called Europia, is used as a phosphor activator, color cathode-ray tubes and liquid-crystal displays used in computer monitors and televisions employ Europium Oxide as the red phosphor; no substitute is known. Europium Oxide (Eu₂O₃) is widely used as a red phosphor in television sets and fluorescent lamps, and as an activator for Yttrium-based phosphors. Europium Oxide is also applied in specialty plastic for laser material. Europium oxide has a cubic structure similar to that of manganese oxide and may be formed by ignition of europium metal. Europium oxide forms europium salts when it reacts with acid. Europium Oxide is generally immediately available in most volumes. Ultra high purity and high purity compositions improve both optical quality and usefulness as scientific standards. Nanoscale elemental powders and suspensions, as alternative high surface area forms, may be considered. In energy efficient fluorescent lighting, Europium provides not only the neccessary red, but also the blue. OxideHigh Purity (99.999%) Europium Oxide (Eu₂O₃) Powder compounds are not conductive to electricity. However, certain perovskite structured oxides are electronically conductive finding application in the cathode of solid oxide fuel cells and oxygen generationsystems. Rare Earth oxide compounds are basic anhydrides and can therefore react with acids and with strong reducing agents in redox reactions. They are compounds containing at least one oxygen anion and one metallic cation. They are typically insoluble in aqueous solutions (water) and extremely stable making them useful in ceramic structures as simple as producing clay bowls toadvanced electronics and in light weight structural components in aerospace and electrochemical applications such as fuel cells in which they exhibit ionic conductivity. Europium oxide is also available in pellets, pieces, powder, sputtering targets, tablets, and nanopowder . .
