Applications
Glass Polishing & Optical Applications:
Widely used as a high-efficiency polishing agent in precision optics. Cerium’s strong oxidizing ability enables scratch-free finishing for lenses, flat panel displays, and advanced optical components.
Emission Control & Environmental Applications:
Applied in diesel particulate filters to oxidize carbon particles and reduce emissions. Its Ce³⁺ ↔ Ce⁴⁺ redox behavior supports catalytic air purification and pollutant breakdown.
Steel Refining & Metallurgy:
Used as a deoxidizer and desulfurizer to remove impurities such as lead, sulfur, and antimony. Enhances mechanical performance and corrosion resistance in specialty steels and cast irons.
Energy & Fuel Cell Technologies:
Cerium-based materials are essential in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) as electrolyte additives and oxygen ion conductors, contributing to improved efficiency and long-term durability.
