Uses
Europium Chloride is used as a raw material of phosphors for color cathode-ray tubes and liquid-crystal displays used in computer monitors and televisions employ Europium Oxide as the red phosphor. Europium Chloride is also applied in speciality laser glass. In energy efficient fluorescent lighting, Europium provides not only the necessary red, but also the blue. Several commercial blue phosphors are based on Europium for color TV, computer screens and fluorescent lamps. Europium(III) chloride hydrate is used as a catalyst in organic synthesis. It is involved in the preparation of amino acid based europium(III) complex in order to prepare photoactive thin films, which finds application in organic light emitting diodes. It is also used as a precursor for the preparation of other europium compounds and its salts. Europium(III) chloride hexahydrate may be used as a precursor to Eu for the synthesis of lanthanide containing polystyrene beads, which may be used as calibration and internal standards for mass cytometry.
