Europium(III) Oxide (Eu2O3) is a chemical compound of europium and oxygen. Europium oxide has also other names as Europia, Europium trioxide. Europium oxide has a pinkish white color. Europium oxide has two different structures: cubic and monoclinic. The cubic structured europium oxide is almost same as magnesium oxide structure. Europium oxide has negligible solubility in water, but readily dissolves in mineral acids. Europium oxide is thermally stable material that has melting point at 2350 oC. Europium oxide’s multi-efficient properties like magnetic, optical and luminescence properties make this material very important. Europium oxide has an ability to absorb moisture and carbon dioxide in atmosphere.

What is Europium(III) Oxide used for? |
Europium(III) Oxide (Eu2O3) is widely used as a red or blue phosphor in television sets and fluorescent lamps, and as an activator for yttrium-based phosphors. It is also an agent for the manufacture of fluorescent glass. Europium fluorescence is used in the anti-counterfeiting phosphors in Euro banknotes.Europium oxide has a great potential as photoactive materials for the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants.
