Application

Cerium fluoride is an off-white powder that serves numerous applications due to its unique properties. It is insoluble in water and acids, and is prominently used to produce Lewis acid, an essential component in various chemical processes. As a highly effective glass polishing agent, cerium fluoride is vital for achieving high precision in optical polishing. Additionally, it plays a crucial role as a core additive in welding, where it stabilizes the arc and influences the movement of molten metal in the weld. In the field of high-energy physics, Cerium(III) Fluoride (CeF3) is utilized in experiments as a luminescent material and potential scintillator due to its 100% activator concentration. It offers versatility in its preparation, achievable through multiple methods such as fluorination, ultrasound, microwave, and hydrothermal synthesis. This makes cerium fluoride a valuable reagent and catalyst in both industrial and scientific settings.
