Merck, 238554-100G, Lanthanum(III) nitrate hydrate

General description
Lanthanum(III) nitrate hydrate is a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. It is also utilized in various fields such as catalysts, ceramics, and as a source of lanthanum ions in chemical synthesis.
Application
Lanthanum(III) nitrate hydrate can be used:
As a starting material to synthesize lanthanum zirconate nanoparticles.
As a precursor to prepare luminescent lanthanum-tricarboxytriphenylamine (La-TCA) coordination polymer nanosheets.
To fabricate perovskite oxide-type LaFeO₃ dendrites for chemical sensors.
To synthesize LaMnO₃ perovskite catalysts by using citric acid sol–gel method and La₀.₆Sr₀.₄MnO₃ perovskites via coprecipitation method. The LaMnO₃ perovskite catalysts has used for the oxidation of propane for emission control of hydrocarbon volatile organic compounds.
