Description
Lanthanum(III) Nitrate Hexahydrate Product Overview
Lanthanum(III) nitrate hexahydrate (La(NO3)3·6H2O) is a white crystalline solid that dissolves very easily in water and ethanol. It also contains about 37% La2O3 and decomposes on heating to Lanthanum Oxide.
In addition, its solubility makes it the preferred lanthanum source for wet-chemical synthesis. Catalyst producers use it for refinery and environmental catalysts, and materials scientists use it to make perovskite oxides such as lanthanum nickelate, cobaltate and manganite for fuel cells, sensors and oxygen membranes.
Furthermore, Lanthanum binds phosphate very strongly, which is the basis of lanthanum-modified clays used to reduce phosphate in lakes. Related rare earth nitrates also include Cerium Nitrate Hexahydrate, Neodymium(III) nitrate hexahydrate and Yttrium (III) nitrate.
Key Applications of Lanthanum(III) Nitrate Hexahydrate
Typical uses include, for example:
🏭 Catalysts
Lanthanum source for refinery as well as environmental catalysts.
⚡ Perovskite Materials
Precursor for perovskite oxides in fuel cells as well as sensors.
💧 Phosphate Binding
Raw material for lanthanum-modified clays.
🔬 Optical Materials
Precursor for lanthanum oxide as well as glass research.

Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), because it contains the full classification and handling instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use the nitrate instead of lanthanum oxide?
The nitrate dissolves easily in water, which makes it ideal for impregnation, sol-gel and co-precipitation methods. It also converts to the oxide on heating.
Which purities do you supply?
Purities from 99.9% to 99.999% on a rare earth oxide basis are available.
How can I get a price and documents?
Prices depend on quantity, packaging and destination, so please contact us with your required volume. We then send a quotation together with the CoA and SDS.
