Application

Lanthanum(III) fluoride is an off-white powder that serves multiple purposes across various technological applications. Primarily, it is utilized as a catalyst in its solid membrane form for manufacturing fluoride-sensitive ion-selective probes, owing to its composition as a high-melting ionic compound of lanthanum and fluorine. This material is integral to the production of multimetal fluoride glasses, such as ZBLAN, and finds utility in fiber optics, fluorescent lamps, and radiation applications. Additionally, when doped with neodymium ions (Nd3+), lanthanum fluoride becomes a valuable scintillating material, enhancing its range of applications in advanced scientific and industrial settings.
