| Europium Acetate is used as a phosphor activator, color cathode-ray tubes and liquid-crystal displays used in computer monitors and televisions employ Europium Oxide as the red phosphor; no substitute is known. Europium Acetate is also applied in specialty glass for laser material. Excitation of the Europium atom by absorption of ultra violet radiation can result in specific energy level transitions within the atom creating an emission of visible radiation. Applications: color cathode-ray tubes and liquid-crystal displays used in computer monitors and televisions employ europium oxide as the red phosphor; no substitute is known. Europium Acetate is also applied in specialty glass for laser material. Solubility: Soluble in water, moderately soluble in strong mineral acids Molecular Formula: Eu(O2C2H3)3.xH2O Room temperature, sealedAlfa Chemistry Materials product group: Metal Manufacturer data sheet |
