Applications:
- Glass Polishing & Optical Applications: Cerium micron powder is widely used as a high-efficiency polishing agent in the precision optics industry. Its strong oxidizing properties make it ideal for glass surface finishing, particularly in lens manufacturing, flat panel displays, and high-end optical components. It enables smooth, scratch-free surfaces with minimal material removal.
- Emission Control & Environmental Applications: Cerium compounds are employed in diesel particulate filters (DPFs) to facilitate the oxidation of ultrafine carbon particles. This enhances the removal of soot and reduces harmful emissions in automotive exhaust systems. Its redox cycling between Ce³⁺ and Ce⁴⁺ states supports catalytic activity in air purification and pollutant degradation.
- Steel Refining & Metallurgy: In steelmaking, cerium powder is used to remove trace impurities such as lead, antimony, sulfur, and oxygen. It acts as a deoxidizer and desulfurizer, improving the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of specialty steels and cast irons.
- Energy & Fuel Cell Technologies: Cerium-based materials are integral to solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), where they function as electrolyte additives or oxygen ion conductors. Their high ionic conductivity and thermal stability contribute to enhanced fuel cell efficiency and durability.
