Molecular formula: Er(NO₃)₃·5H₂O
Molecular weight: 434.37 g/mol
Appearance: light pink to purple pink crystalline powder
Melting point: about 60–65°C (dehydration)
Crystal structure: At room temperature, erbium nitrate pentahydrate crystallizes in the monoclinic system. In its crystal structure, Er³⁺ ions are multi-coordinated and stabilized by nitrate ions and water molecules to form a complex coordination network. This structure has good solubility and thermal stability, and is suitable for synthesis, decomposition, ion doping and other purposes.
Laser and fiber optic communication materials: Er³⁺ ion emission characteristics in the 1.5 μm range are used to manufacture erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) and laser glass.
Chemical synthesis reagents: Erbium nitrate pentahydrate is used to prepare erbium organic complexes, high-purity erbium salts, and catalyst precursors.
Ceramic and glass modification: Erbium nitrate pentahydrate can be used as a color regulator and thermal stability enhancer.
Our products have a strict quality control process to ensure the quality principle of “batch control and source traceability”. Our raw materials are verified by ICP-MS, GDMS and other purity, standardized production processes, complete process quality control, and final inspection integrity.
Erbium nitrate pentahydrate is packaged in vacuum-sealed bottles with different packaging specifications such as 50g/100g/500g/1kg/5kg, which can be customized according to customer requirements. Large quantities are packaged in 25kg barrels and fixed with external pallets.
Erbium nitrate pentahydrate should be stored in a sealed dry environment to avoid moisture. The recommended storage temperature is 5~30°C. Avoid long-term exposure to air and avoid strong vibration and direct sunlight during transportation.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
