Cerium(III) Nitrate Hexahydrate or Cerium nitrate (CAS: 10294-41-4) is the most common form of cerium(III) nitrate salt, primarily valued as a highly soluble precursor for cerium-based materials. Cerium(III) nitrate hexahydrate is a versatile intermediate due to the high solubility of the salt and the ability of cerium to exist in both the +3 and +4 oxidation states. We are a leading & trusted Cerium nitrate supplier worldwide, offering various other RRes that meet quality and safety standards, with reliable lead times and global supply capability.

KSM for synthesizing ceria (CeO₂) nanoparticles and microstructures for automotive catalytic converters, solid oxide fuel cells, and chemical reaction catalysts
Separation processes to isolate cerium from other rare earth elements
Component in certain topical burn treatment creams (often combined with silver sulfadiazine) to manage serious burn wounds
Reagent and catalyst for various organic and inorganic reactions, such as the hydrolysis of phosphoric acid esters.
Temp @ +15°C to +25°C.
Hygroscopic and air sensitive
Packing Group III
Oxidizing. Incompatible with strong reducing agents, strong bases
Highly soluble, which makes it suitable for wet-chemical synthesis methods (like sol-gel or co-precipitation), and it easily decomposes upon heating to form high-purity ceria CeO2, a critical component in many catalysts.
Cerium(I) Nitrate Hexahydrate is classified as a UN Class 5.1 Oxidizing Solid (H272). Must be stored and handled away from strong reducing agents, organic materials, and strong bases to prevent fire or violent reactions.
Cerium(III) nitrate (Ce'+) is used primarily as a cerium source for material synthesis. Cerium(IV) nitrate (Ceric Ammonium Nitrate, or CAN) is a potent oxidizing agent and a key reagent in organic synthesis and analytical chemistry.
Crucial source of cerium in materials science for the synthesis of micro- or nano-structured ceria (cerium oxide), including nanoparticles, nanorods, and nanocubes. Employed in catalysis (e.g., in catalytic converters and specific organic reactions), in the separation and purification of cerium from other rare earths, and in specialized medical applications as an antiseptic agent in burn treatment creams.
Standard purities range from 99% (technical grade) to 99.999% (high-purity grade) for specialized applications. Purity is verified through a Certificate of Analysis provided with each lot.
Yes export ready with it's high quality with Cerium Nitrate Coa documentation provided along with other necessary regulatory certifications for bulk procurement with reliable lead time.
