Description
Erbium Oxide Powder Properties
What is Erbium Oxide Er2O3 Powder ?
Erbium oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula Er2O3. This compound belongs to the rare earth metal oxide, a light blue solid with a 6.5g/cm3 density. Erbium oxide is stable at room temperature and has a high melting point, with a melting point of 2445°C.
Regarding the physical properties of erbium oxide, it has a crystal structure and can be processed by grinding or cutting. It has low resistivity and weak thermal stability, gradually breaking into erbium oxide and oxygen at temperatures above 100°C.
In terms of chemical properties, erbium oxide has strong oxidizing ability. It forms intermetallic compounds when it comes into contact with other metallic elements or metal oxides. In addition, if erbium oxide is exposed to air, it becomes oxidized and turns brown.

How is Erbium Oxide Er2O3 Powder Produced?

Metal erbium method: Dissolve the metal erbium with a purity of 99.99% in a non-oxidizing solvent, such as anhydrous ethanol or acetone, and then add an appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide for oxidation reaction to produce an oxide of erbium. After filtration, washing, and drying, high-purity erbium oxide can be obtained.

Erbium hydroxide method: The erbium hydroxide is dissolved in hydrogen peroxide solution and then heated and evaporated; crystallization, filtration, and drying steps to obtain erbium hydroxide. Erbium oxide can be obtained by burning the erbium hydroxide at high temperatures.

Erbium chloride method: erbium chloride is reacted with hydrogen peroxide to form erbium chloride, and then heated to a certain temperature for decomposition, erbium oxide can be obtained. This method is a simple and effective preparation method, but the cost is high and unsuitable for large-scale production.

High-temperature decomposition method: aluminum oxide and carbon are heated to high temperatures to produce elemental aluminum and carbon dioxide. The resulting aluminum reacts with erbium chloride to form erbium-aluminum chloride and then reacts with hydrogen peroxide to form erbium oxychloride. Erbium oxide can be obtained by heating the erbium oxychloride to a certain temperature for decomposition.

Electrolysis: A mixture of alumina and carbon is dissolved in an erbium chloride solution, and then electrolysis is performed to obtain erbium oxide on the cathode. This method can obtain high-purity erbium oxide, but the cost is high and unsuitable for large-scale production.


Applications of Erbium Oxide Er2O3 Powder:

Analytical reagent: Erbium oxide can be used as an analytical reagent to detect metal elements, such as erbium and lanthanide elements. It has the characteristics of high selectivity, high sensitivity, and rapid analysis and is widely used in trace element analysis in geology, environmental protection, chemical industry, and other fields.

Optical materials: Erbium oxide has the characteristics of high light transmittance, high refractive index, and low scattering and can be used to prepare optical materials. It is widely used in glasses, lenses, solar cells, and other fields and can improve light transmittance, reduce reflection, and increase wear resistance.

Electronic material: Erbium oxide has high resistivity and good thermal stability and can be used as an electronic material. It can be used to prepare electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, etc., with high precision and stability advantages.

Catalyst: Erbium oxide has high catalytic performance and low-temperature characteristics and can be used as a catalyst. It can be used in petrochemical, automotive exhaust purification, and other fields and improve catalytic efficiency and selectivity.

Luminescent materials: erbium oxide can be used as a luminescent material, especially in rare earths. Luminescence has a wide range of applications. It can prepare phosphors with high brightness, high color purity, long life, displays, LEDs, and other fields.

Laser material: Erbium oxide is an important laser material that can be used to prepare lasers, optical amplifiers, and other fields. It is characterized by its high refractive index, low absorption, and high thermal stability. This will improve the stability and performance that the laser provides.

Magnetic material: Erbium oxide has good magnetic properties and can be used as a magnetic material. It can be used to prepare magnetic recording materials, magnetic sensors, and other fields.


Storage Condition of Erbium Oxide Er2O3 Powder :
The damp reunion will affect Er2O3 powder dispersion performance and using effects, therefore, erbium oxide should be sealed in vacuum packing and stored in cool and dry room, the erbium oxide can not be exposure to air. In addition, the Er2O3 powder should be avoided under stress.
