Ytterbium(III) nitrate pentahydrate can be used:
- As a precursor to prepare Tb3+–Yb3+ co-doped CaF2 phosphors prepared by combustion synthesis.[1]
- As a dopant to synthesize Cs2AgInCl6 double perovskite with optical functionality in the NIR(near infrared) window.[2]
It forms superhydrophobic ceramic coating by using Solution Precursor Plasma Spray.
