General description

Europium(III) nitrate pentahydrate is a white crystalline solid with luminescent properties. It is widely used as a precursor to fabricate nanomaterials and perovskite solar cells.

Application

Europium(III) nitrate pentahydrate can be used:
  • As a precursor to synthesize Y2O3:Eu3+ thin-film phosphors by sol-gel method for display applications.[1]
  • As a dopant to prepare crystalline nanophosphors. These are suitable for bioimaging as they are hydrophilic in nature and white light-emitting diodes.[2]
  • To fabricate dye-sensitized solar cells with enhanced light-harvesting efficiency.[3]
  • As a dopant to prepare various metal oxide nanoparticles, for example, ZnO nanoparticles for photocatalytic application.

A promising way to improve the performance of luminescent materials is to combine them with noble metal nanoparticles. Herein, a set of silver/europium-doped lanthanum orthophosphate (Ag/La0.95Eu0.05PO4) nanostructures with different concentrations of silver nanoparticles were prepared and investigated.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
