Yttrium fluoride is a white inorganic powder with the chemical formula of YF3. It is an important component of tri-band Rare Earth phosphors and used in a variety of applications, such as fluorescent lamps and florescent phosphors. It also is a precursor material for Y metal.
Yttrium fluoride is used in the fabrication of ceramics, glasses and thin films. In the electronics industry, Yttrium Fluoride is used in OLED Electron Injection Layer (EIL) materials.
In addition, Yttrium Fluoride can be manufactured in several ways. One of the more common ways is by reacting yttrium with fluorine. The resulting ytterbium fluoride is then evaporated under vacuum in order to produce an IR laser. This process yields minor inclusions of NaF.
Yttrium fluoride powder is available in both fine and trace metals basis. Yttrium Fluoride can also be produced by high-temperature hydrothermal synthesis.
As an upconverter phosphor host lattice, sodium yttrium fluoride is used for blue and green upconversion phosphors. Ytterbium and thulium co-doped Sodium Yttrium Fluoride microphosphors are useful for ratiometric fluorescence detection of chromium(III).
Yttrium trifluoride is also used as a cathode material in an organic light-emitting device. Yttrium Fluoride is an essential component in OLED Electron Injection Layer (EIL) Materials.
Its purity is a crucial factor in the performance of tri-band Rare Earth phosphors. However, its use is limited by its high cost. A lower-purity version is typically adequate for IR coatings.
For a safe and effective disposal of yttrium fluoride, follow all applicable environmental regulations. Also, ensure proper ventilation and isolation of the area.
