Lanthanum Oxide (La2O3) Powder

Lanthanum oxide (La₂O₃) nanoparticles are generally in the form of odorless white powder. The crystal structure of lanthanum oxide nanoparticles is hexagonal at low temperatures and cubic at higher temperatures. This rare-earth material has a wide bandgap of 4.3 eV, interesting diamagnetic properties, and the lowest lattice energy with a high electric constant. Lanthanum oxide powder is an important p-type semiconductor that shows unique catalytic properties. La₂O₃ powders have a lot of attractive properties for industrial and technological applications. The application areas of lanthanum oxide powders can be listed as;

• piezoelectric materials to increase product energy coefficients,
• optical glasses,
• high refraction optical fiber,
• additives in gas sensitive ceramics to increase sensitivity,
• in automobile exhaust-gas convectors as catalytic materials,
• high κ gate dielectric materials,
• catalyst supports,
• light-emitting phosphors,
• electrode materials,
• hydrogen storage,
• different kinds of alloy materials.
