General description

Praseodymium(III) nitrate hexahydrate iscommonly used in the production of electronic components, including ceramiccapacitors, magnetic bubble memories, and photochromic glass. Its uniqueoptical and electrical properties, such as its high dielectric constant andrefractive index, make it a desirable material in the electronics industry. Itis also used as a praseodymium source for the preparation of other praseodymiumcompounds.

Application

Praseodymium(III) nitrate hexahydrate can be used as:
  • A dopant to fabricate dye-sensitized solar cells. The addition of rare earth enhances the power conversion efficiency of solar cells by narrowing the band gap of photoanode materials.
  • A precursor to synthesize high entropy lanthanide oxysulfides ( wide band gap semiconductors).
  • To synthesize functionalized UV-emitting nanocomposite for photodynamic cancer therapy.
  • To fabricate Pr-doped MoO3 thinfilms for gas sensing applications.
