PD1157 Europium carbonate powder (Eu2(CO3)3)

Europium Carbonate Powder Description

Europium carbonate is valuable for various technical applications. It is used in the production of phosphors for fluorescent lamps, cathode ray tubes (CRTs) and specific types of light emitting diodes (LEDs). Its luminescent properties serve as a critical characteristic in these applications.

Applications of Europium Carbonate Powder

Europium carbonate is applied as a phosphor activator in colour cathode ray tubes and liquid crystal displays. It is also utilised in specialised glass for laser materials.

Phosphors: Europium carbonate is a precursor for the manufacture of europium-doped phosphors. These phosphors are used in various display technologies, including cathode ray tubes (CRT), plasma displays and fluorescent lamps. Europium-doped phosphors emit red, orange or other specific hues when stimulated by electrons, thereby contributing to display and lighting functions.

Colour Television Tubes: In previous years, phosphors doped with europium were used in colour television tubes to generate red and blue colours on the screen.

Solid-State Lighting: Europium-doped phosphors are employed in solid-state lighting applications such as white LEDs and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). They support an improved colour rendering index (CRI) and increase the overall efficiency of these light sources.

Biological and Medical Assays: Europium-doped compounds, including europium carbonate, function as luminescence markers in biological and medical tests. They enable the detection of specific biological markers and molecules with quantifiable sensitivity.

X-ray Imaging: Europium compounds, including europium carbonate, have been assessed for use as contrast agents in x-ray imaging. They enhance the visibility of selected tissues and organs in medical imaging.

Optical Coatings: Materials doped with europium may be applied as optical coatings on lenses, prisms and related optical components. Their use can improve the optical performance of these components.

Cathodoluminescence Detectors: Europium-doped phosphors are used in cathodoluminescence detectors for electron microscopy. They emit light when stimulated by an electron beam, thereby facilitating the material characterisation at the nanoscale.

Nuclear Reactors: Europium compounds, including europium carbonate, can serve as burnable neutron absorbers in nuclear reactors. They contribute to the regulation of neutron flux and the control of reactivity.

Catalysis: Europium compounds are investigated for their catalytic properties in various chemical reactions, including organic transformations and industrial processes.

Research and Development: Owing to its unique luminescent and magnetic properties, europium carbonate is used in scientific research across material sciences, chemistry and physics.
