Description & Features

Descriptive: WNX employs advanced automated production technology and uses high-quality raw materials to produce high-quality Cerium Fluoride.

Key Features:

High Purity:Cerium Fluoride contains no impurities from rare earth elements (such as iron, calcium, sodium), and the impurity content is low.

Good Solubility:Cerium Fluoride can dissolve rapidly in water and strong acids.

Consistency: The strict batch management in the production of Cerium Fluoride ensures stable quality for industrial large-scale production.

Chemical industry catalyst: Cerium tetrafluoride (CeF₄) is a strong oxidizing agent and is used as a catalyst in various reactions in organic synthesis, such as the selective oxidation of alcohols to ketones and the direct sulfonation of methane with sulfur trioxide to produce methanesulfonic acid. Its oxidizing property is particularly significant under acidic conditions and can be used as an efficient single-electron oxidant. Cerium trifluoride (CeF₃) is used as a catalyst component in petroleum catalytic cracking (FCC) to improve the conversion efficiency of hydrocarbons.

Special Glass and Optical Materials: Cerium trifluoride (CeF₃) is a key raw material for manufacturing precision optical glass, which can effectively improve the ultraviolet absorption performance of the glass and is used as glass polishing powder and desensitizer. Cerium tetrafluoride (CeF₄) is used in optical coating, providing excellent anti-reflection performance for lenses and mirrors, enhancing the durability and performance of optical devices. Both are used as scintillator materials in high-energy physics experiments and radiation detection fields.

Batteries and Energy Materials: Cerium trifluoride (CeF₃) is used as a sulfur host material in lithium-sulfur batteries. Its unique nanocage structure (h-CeF₃) can enhance the cycling performance of the battery through a synergistic effect of physical confinement and chemical adsorption. Tetrafluorocerium (CeF₄) is a potential material for fluoride ion conductors and can be used to develop solid-state fluoride ion batteries, which have the potential to achieve higher energy density. Cerium trifluoride is also being studied as an electrolyte material for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).

Chemical synthesis intermediates: Cerium trifluoride and cerium tetrafluoride are both important precursors for synthesizing other cerium compounds. Cerium trifluoride is the raw material for preparing metallic cerium, while cerium tetrafluoride can be generated by reduction reaction from cerium trifluoride. Additionally, cerium trifluoride can be used to synthesize cerium-doped nano-luminescent materials (such as CeF₃:Tb³⁺), which are applied in biological imaging and display technologies.
