Cerium hydride (CeH₂/CeH₃) is a high-purity rare-earth compound recognized for its excellent hydrogen storage capacity, thermal stability, and unique electronic properties. It is widely used in hydrogen energy systems, specialized metallurgy, neutron absorbers, and advanced material research. Due to its superior performance in specialized applications, cerium hydride plays a crucial role in precision engineering, scientific studies, and industrial innovations.
Product Overview
Cerium hydride is a compound formed by the reaction of cerium with hydrogen, existing in two forms: dihydride (CeH2) and trihydride (CeH3). Dihydride appears as blue-black crystals, while trihydride is a brittle, blue-black amorphous powder. The product exhibits good stability and hydrogen storage capacity and can react with water under certain conditions to form cerium chloride and release hydrogen gas.
Key Features
