Europium oxide (Eu2O3)
Europium oxide (Eu2O3)
Europium oxide is a hygroscopic white to pale pink solid and is insoluble in water. It is needed for the production of phosphors.
Europium is used primarily as a dopant for the production of phosphors, but also as a dopant in high-pressure mercury lamps (e.g. for street lighting) and in security inks for banknotes and documents, for example. Europium oxide is also used in control rods for nuclear reactors.
