Description

General description

Yttrium(III) nitrate hexahydrate is a white crystalline solid widely used as a precursor to synthesize yttrium-based complexes and nanomaterials.

Application

Yttrium(III) nitrate hexahydrate can be used:

• As a precursor to synthesize yttrium oxide nanoparticles by co-precipitation method.
• To prepare electroactive poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) thin films. The addition of Yttrium(III) nitrate hexahydrate improves dielectric constant and electroactive β phase nucleation in PVDF films.
• As a dopant to prepare cerium oxide hollow sphere hierarchical structures with enhanced photocatalytic activity.
• As a green catalyst for rapid synthesis of supramolecules such as calix[4]resorcinarenes.
