General description

Ytterbium(III) acetate hydrate is a high-purity (99.95% trace metals basis), water-soluble rare earth salt that serves as a precursor for various material science applications. Its ability to readily dissolve in polar solvents makes it suitable for solution-based synthesis techniques such as sol-gel and hydrothermal methods. The compound offers a reliable source of Yb³⁺ ions, essential for doping materials used in optics, electronics, and photonic applications. It exhibits good thermal stability, allowing it to withstand high-temperature processing during the fabrication of ceramics, thin films, and nanomaterials. Ytterbium ions also act as efficient energy donors in conversion systems, enhancing the luminescence of co-doped rare earth elements like Er³⁺ and Tm³⁺.

Application

  • Highly luminescent, biocompatible ytterbium (III) complexes as near-infrared fluorophores for living cell imaging: This study highlights the development of ytterbium complexes with enhanced near-infrared luminescence suitable for live-cell imaging, utilizing Ytterbium(III) acetate hydrate as a precursor. The findings demonstrate significant potential for biomedical applications, particularly in imaging techniques sensitive to deeper tissue penetration (Ning et al., 2018).
  • As a precursor in the synthesis of Ytterbium-Doped BaTiO3 thin films via sol-gel, which are used in optical devices, sensors, solar cells.
  • Dopant precursor to introduce Yb³⁺ ions in NaGdF₄:Yb,Er nanoparticles , which are embedded in fibrous phosphorus thin films to enhance photoresponsivity for optoelectronic device applications.
  • In the synthesis of barium titanate xerogel structures via the sol-gel method, making them suitable for applications in optical sensors.

Features and Benefits

  • 99.95% trace metals basis purity ensures minimal impurities, enhancing catalytic efficiency and selectivity, leading to higher yields and fewer by-products in polymerization and oxidation processes.
  • High purity reduces defects and enhances the performance of Yb based electronic materials, such as superconductors and specialized alloys, improving conductivity and reliability
