Description

General description

Lanthanum(III) chloride hydrate is a highly water-soluble crystalline solid widely used in catalytic processes and as a dopant in the production of phosphors and ceramics.

Application

Lanthanum(III) chloride hydrate can be used:

• As a precursor to synthesize La-based nanostructures.
• As a dopant to fabricate ZnO nanoparticles with enhanced optical particles.
• To synthesize Fe–La composite (hydr)oxides for arsenic removal from water.
• Tofabricate lanthanum hexaboride (LaB₆) powders forultra-high-temperature ceramics.
