Product Details

Basic information

Gadolinium Oxide (Gd₂O₃), white crystalline powder. As a rare earth oxide, it is chemically stable and insoluble in water. It is primarily used in phosphors for color television tubes, scintillators in medical imaging, and as a neutron absorber in nuclear reactors. Its unique optical and magnetic properties also make it valuable in specialized glass and catalysts.

Application

1. Phosphors: Used in phosphors for color television tubes, X-ray screens, and fluorescent lamps.

2. Scintillators: Serves as a component in scintillator materials for medical imaging (e.g., CT scans) and radiation detection.

3. Nuclear Applications: Acts as a neutron absorber in nuclear reactor control rods and shielding due to gadolinium's high neutron capture cross-section.

4. Glass & Ceramics: Used as a dopant to impart special optical properties, such as in filters and laser glasses.

5. Catalysts: Employed as a catalyst and catalyst support in various chemical reactions.

6. Electronics: Used in the production of capacitors, semiconductors, and other electronic components.

7. Magnetic Cooling: Gadolinium compounds are key materials in magnetic refrigeration technology near room temperature.

8. Contrast Agents: While not the oxide itself, gadolinium ions (derived from soluble compounds) are the active component in contrast agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
