FL1979 Cerium (IV) Fluoride Powder (CAS No. 10060-10-3)

Cerium (IV) Fluoride Powder Description

Cerium (IV) Fluoride (CeF4) is a rare-earth fluoride that has a white color in the form of a solid. It is insoluble in water. CeF4 does not decompose under vacuum heating to 800-850 ° C, which is relatively stable. It is easily reduced to cerium trifluoride by ammonia, ammonia, and water vapor, and it reacts with water vapor to form cerium oxide at high temperatures.
