Usage

Uses

Used in Catalyst Industry:
Cerium(III) 2-ethylhexanoate is used as a catalyst to enhance the efficiency and selectivity of various chemical reactions. Its unique properties enable it to act as a catalyst in processes such as hydrogenation, oxidation, and polymerization.
Used in Paint Industry:
Cerium(III) 2-ethylhexanoate is used as a paint dryer to accelerate the drying process of paint coatings. Its ability to promote the curing of paint films results in faster drying times and improved paint performance.
Used in Plastic Industry:
Cerium(III) 2-ethylhexanoate is used as a plastic additive to improve the mechanical, thermal, and optical properties of plastics. Its incorporation into plastic materials can lead to enhanced durability, stability, and appearance.
Used in Nanotechnology:
Cerium(III) 2-ethylhexanoate is used as a precursor in the preparation of inorganic nanoparticles in oil-in-water microemulsions. The toluene-based precursor solution, composed of gadolinium(III) 2-ethylhexanoate and cerium(III) 2-ethylhexanoate, allows for the achievement of the desired stoichiometry in the synthesis of nanoparticles.
Used in Ceramic Industry:
For the ceria/zirconia precursor, cerium(III) 2-ethylhexanoate and zirconium(IV) 2-ethylhexanoate are mixed to result in a metal molar ratio Ce/Zr of 1:1. This mixture is then diluted with xylene to create a total metal solution, which can be used in the production of advanced ceramic materials.
Used in Thin Film Industry:
Thin films of CeO2 can be prepared by a photochemical method using thin amorphous films of cerium(III) 2-ethylhexanoate as the precursor. This technique allows for the creation of high-quality thin films with potential applications in various fields, such as electronics, optoelectronics, and energy storage.
