Description

Praseodymium Hydride CAS NO 13864-03-4 is an inorganic chemical compound primarily used as a specialized reducing agent and hydrogen storage material. Its significance lies in its high reactivity and ability to release hydrogen under controlled conditions, making it valuable for advanced material synthesis and energy research. This product is essential for R&D laboratories and industrial manufacturers in sectors such as metallurgy, hydrogen storage technology, and the production of rare-earth alloys and permanent magnets.

Application

• As a potent reducing agent in the synthesis of high-purity rare-earth metals and intermetallic compounds.
• Key component in hydrogen storage systems and solid-state hydrogen fuel research due to its reversible hydrogen absorption/desorption properties.
• Used in the production of specialized permanent magnets (e.g., Nd-Fe-B type) to modify magnetic properties and enhance performance.
• Precursor material in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes for thin-film coatings.
• Additive in metallurgical processes for alloying and deoxidizing to improve material characteristics.
• Catalyst or catalyst precursor in select hydrogenation and organic synthesis reactions.
• Starting material for preparing other praseodymium compounds used in ceramics, pigments, and optical glasses.
• Utilized in research and development of novel materials for electronics, superconductors, and energy applications.

Quality Control

Our Praseodymium Hydride is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistency and compliance with specified purity and physical property standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as metal purity, hydrogen content, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. The container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture ingress and oxidation.
