General description

Lanthanum(III) chloride hydrate is a highly water-soluble crystalline solid widely used in catalytic processes and as a dopant in the production of phosphors and ceramics.

Application

Lanthanum(III) chloride hydrate can be used:
  • As a precursor to synthesize La-based nanostructures.
  • As a dopant to fabricate ZnO nanoparticles with enhanced optical particles.
  • To synthesize Fe–La composite (hydr)oxides for arsenic removal from water.
  • Tofabricate lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) powders forultra-high-temperature ceramics.

In this study, for the first time, new nanoparticles of La3+/α-Al2O3 were synthesized with the ultrasonic-assisted hydrothermal method in the presence of honey as an eco-friendly and natural reagent. The as-synthesized La3+/α-Al2O3 nanoparticles were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM)

Lanthanum molybdate/magnetite (M-La2(MoO4)3) with various LaCl3/Fe3O4 mass ratios was synthesized and optimized for selective phosphate removal from wastewater. M-La2(MoO4)3 (2:1) was selected on the basis of phosphate sorption capacity for further experiments and characterized by a variety of methods. The

Effectively eutrophication control and phosphate recovery have received increasing attention in recent years. In this study, a regenerable magnetic NaLa(CO3)2/Fe3O4 composites (MLC) which includes a novel phosphate-binding lanthanum species NaLa(CO3)2 hybridized with Fe3O4 nanoparticle was developed through a modified solvothermal

Targeted therapies against oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) show promising results in the clinic. Unfortunately, despite the initial positive response, most patients develop therapeutic resistance. Most research has focused on acquired resistance occurring after an extensive time of treatment; however
