Ytterbium hydride (YbH₂/YbH₃) is a high-purity rare-earth compound known for its excellent hydrogen absorption, 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, ytterbium hydride plays a crucial role in precision engineering, scientific studies, and industrial innovations.
Product Overview
Ytterbium hydride is a compound consisting of ytterbium and hydrogen, with chemical formulas YbH2 or YbH3. It is a key precursor for high-purity rare-earth metal powders and is commonly used in the preparation of high-purity ytterbium metal. Ytterbium hydride is unstable in air and highly reactive with water, so it must be stored under strictly controlled environmental conditions. Containers should remain sealed, and storage should be in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
Key Features
- High Purity: Available in 99% and 99.9% purity, meeting diverse technical needs.
- Adjustable Particle Size: Customizable particle size ranging from 50 mesh to 500 mesh.
- Stability: Exhibits good chemical stability during storage, but should be protected from exposure to moisture and air.
- High Reactivity: Due to its high reactivity, Ytterbium hydride is well-suited for the synthesis of high-purity rare-earth metals.
Applications
- Rare Earth Metal Powder Preparation: Primarily used for the preparation of high-purity ytterbium metal powders.
- High-Performance Alloys and Materials: Can be used in the synthesis of rare-earth alloys, optical materials, and other advanced materials.
- Electronics and Laser Applications: Widely used in laser technologies, optoelectronics, and related fields.
- Catalysts: Can serve as a catalyst or catalyst carrier, widely used in chemical synthesis and energy conversion technologies.
