Europium oxide is a white to pale pink, hygroscopic rare-earth powder with crystal forms influenced by calcination conditions. It is insoluble in water but dissolves in inorganic and selected organic acids. Used in phosphor systems for red luminescence, fluorescent lighting and laser-related materials, it also has neutron-absorbing applications in nuclear reactor control components.

product description

High Thermal Stability:With a melting point of 2330 °C, europium oxide maintains excellent performance under high-temperature processing and demanding industrial conditions.


Controllable Crystal Structure:Different heating temperatures allow formation of distinct crystal systems, offering flexibility for material design and specialized applications.


Good Chemical Reactivity:Insoluble in water but readily soluble in inorganic, formic, and acetic acids, enabling efficient conversion to trivalent europium salts for further use.


High Density and Material Purity Potential:High relative density and stable rare-earth oxide composition make it suitable for advanced materials, optical, and electronic applications.


Product Description of Europium Oxide CAS#1308-96-9

Europium oxide appears as white to pale pink powder, whose color varies with production processes. It is hygroscopic and exists in two crystal forms, pseudo-trigonal and equiaxed, depending on calcination temperature. The equiaxed phase possesses the same crystal structure as scandium oxide. It features a relative density of 7.42 and a melting point of 2330 °C. Insoluble in water, it dissolves in inorganic acids to generate trivalent europium salts, and is also soluble in formic acid and acetic acid. Moreover, it can absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide and convert into europium carbonate.


Product Application of Europium Oxide CAS#1308-96-9

Europium oxide (Eu₂O₃) is commonly used as an additive for infrared-sensitive phosphors to enhance red luminescence in TV and computer display picture tubes. It is also added to fluorescent lamps to boost luminous efficiency and used in laser-related materials. Thanks to its strong neutron-absorbing property, it is further applied in control rods for nuclear reactors.
