| Application: | Yttrium(III) nitrate hexahydrate can be used:• As a precursor to synthesize yttrium oxide nanoparticles by co-precipitation method. • To prepare electroactive poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) thin films. The addition of Yttrium(III) nitrate hexahydrate improves dielectric constant and electroactive β phase nucleation in PVDF films. • As a dopant to prepare cerium oxide hollow sphere hierarchical structures with enhanced photocatalytic activity. • As a green catalyst for rapid synthesis of supramolecules such as calix[4]resorcinarenes. |
| General description: | Yttrium(III) nitrate hexahydrate is a white crystalline solid widely used as a precursor to synthesize yttrium-based complexes and nanomaterials. |
