PD1021 Scandium Carbonate Hydrate Powder

Scandium Carbonate (Sc2 (CO3)3-xH2O) Powder Description:

Scandium Carbonate Hydrate is an scandium salt of carbonic acid. Scandium carbonate is used as a precursor in the synthesis of scandium oxide (Sc2O3), which is an important material in the development of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), high‐strength aluminium alloys and certain types of lasers and light‐emitting diodes (LEDs).

Scandium Carbonate (Sc2 (CO3)3-xH2O) Powder Applications:

Scandium carbonate can be used in the preparation of other scandium compounds and in high-temperature systems due to its resistance to heat and thermal cycling. It is used as an additive in glass compositions. In addition, scandium carbonate functions as a reagent.

Scandium-Aluminium Alloys: Scandium carbonate is a precursor for the manufacture of scandium-aluminium alloys, such as Sc-Al precursor alloys. These alloys are used in the aerospace sector and in sports equipment manufacturing given that they have a low mass and high strength.

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs): Scandium carbonate may be employed to produce electrolytes from scandium-stabilised zirconium dioxide (ScSZ) for solid oxide fuel cells. These cells operate at high temperatures and convert chemical energy into electrical energy efficiently.

High-Intensity Lighting: In some high-intensity discharge lamps (HID) and metal halide lamps, scandium is used to improve efficiency and colour reproduction. Scandium carbonate serves as a precursor in these applications.

Electron Microscopy: Grids coated with scandium carbonate are used in electron microscopy for sample preparation and imaging.

Research and Development: Scandium carbonate is used in scientific research related to scandium and its compounds.

Catalysis: In certain research and industrial processes, scandium compounds, including scandium carbonate, are investigated for their unique electronic properties when employed as catalysts in chemical reactions.

Scandium Extraction: Scandium carbonate can be utilised as a precursor in the extraction and purification of scandium metal from various ores.
