Ytterbium Oxide Yb2O3 Powder CAS 1314-37-0

Ytterbium oxide or ytterbium trioxide is one of the more common compounds in ytterbium. It has a "rare earth C-type sesquioxide" structure, associated with a fluorite structure in which a quarter of the anions are removed, resulting in ytterbium atoms in two different six-coordinate (non-octahedral) environments. Ytterbium oxide's chemical formula is Yb2O3. Ytterbium oxide molecular Weight is 394.08. Pure ytterbium oxide is a colorless powder and light brown or yellow when containing thulium oxide. Micro hygroscopicity, easy to absorb water and carbon dioxide from the air into basic ytterbium carbonate. It is the weakest alkalinity in the yttrium group except for lutetium oxide.

Ytterbium oxide is a white amorphous powder with slight hygroscopicity. The relative density is 9.17, and the melting point is 2346℃. Ytterbium oxide is insoluble in water and cold acids but soluble in hot dilute acids. The oxidation states of ytterbium are divalent and trivalent. Ytterbium can be slowly oxidized by air and water at room temperature. Ytterbium oxide is a colorless powder dissolved in acid to produce colorless salts, such as ytterbium sulfate, ytterbium nitrate, etc. Trivalent ytterbium ions are also colorless and paramagnetic and have a series of sharp absorption bands in the near-infrared spectrum, which can be used for quantitative analysis of ytterbium. Reduction of ytterbium chloride (YbCl3) by hydrogen. The green-yellow ytterbium dichloride (YbCl2 :) can be obtained. The bivalent ytterbium ion is unstable in an aqueous solution.

Performance of Ytterbium Oxide Yb2O3 Powder :

Ytterbium oxide is a white amorphous powder with slight hygroscopicity. The chemical formula is Yb2O3. Ytterbium oxide is insoluble in water and cold acid but soluble in hot dilute acid.

Ytterbium oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula Yb2O3. This compound belongs to the lanthanide series of metal oxides and has different physical forms, such as powder and block. Ytterbium oxide absorbs water easily in the air and is decomposed into cerous oxide and oxygen at high temperatures.

Ytterbium oxide production methods are mainly as follows：

Metal ytterbium method: The metal ytterbium is oxidized at high temperatures to produce ytterbium oxide. This method is suitable for small amounts of preparation because the metal ytterbium is more expensive, and the cost is higher.

Nitrate method: Reaction of ytterbium nitrate solution with the base to produce ytterbium hydroxide. Then, an appropriate amount of hydrochloric acid is added to convert ytterbium hydroxide into ytterbium oxide. The method has the advantages of low cost and easy operation, but the reaction conditions must be controlled to avoid the formation of other by-products.

Chloride process: Reaction of ytterbium chloride solution with the base to produce ytterbium hydroxide. Then, an appropriate amount of hydrochloric acid is added to convert ytterbium hydroxide into ytterbium oxide. The method has the advantages of low cost and easy operation, but the reaction conditions must be controlled to avoid the formation of other by-products.

Hydroxide method: The hydroxide of ytterbium oxide is heated to a high temperature to obtain ytterbium oxide. This method is suitable for mass preparation because hydroxide is cheaper.

Optical materials: Ytterbium oxide is an excellent optical material with high light transmission, refractive index, and low scattering. It is widely used in optical lenses, optical fibers, optoelectronic devices, and other fields that can improve optical performance and stability.

Electronic materials: Ytterbium 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: Ytterbium 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, improving catalytic efficiency and selectivity.

Medical field: Ytterbium oxide has the characteristics of good biocompatibility and non-toxicity and can be applied in the medical field. It can be used in drug carrier, biological imaging, and tumor therapy and has the advantages of high efficiency, safety, and low side effects.

Luminous materials: Ytterbium oxide can be used as a luminous material, especially in the field of rare earth luminescence has a wide range of applications. It can prepare phosphors with high brightness, high color purity, long life, displays, LEDs, and other fields.

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

Storage Condition of Ytterbium Oxide Yb2O3 Powder :
The damp reunion will affect Yb2O3 powder dispersion performance and using effects, therefore, ytterbium oxide should be sealed in vacuum packing and stored in cool and dry room, the ytterbium oxide can not be exposure to air. In addition, the Yb2O3 powder should be avoided under stress.

Packing & Shipping of Ytterbium Oxide Yb2O3 Powder :
We have many different kinds of packing which depend on the ytterbium oxide Yb2O3 powder quantity.
Ytterbium oxide Yb2O3 powder packing: vacuum packing, 100g, 500g or 1kg/bag, 25kg/barrel, or as your request.
Ytterbium oxide Yb2O3 powder shipping: could be shipped out by sea, by air, by express as soon as possible once payment receipt.
