General description
Cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate is a hygroscopic crystalline solid. It is soluble in water and forms acidic solutions. It is used as a cerium source in various applications such as nanometal oxide synthesis and catalysis.
Application
Cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate can be used:
- As a precursor to prepare cerium oxide nanoparticles for biomedical applications and photocatalytic degradation.
- As a solution to fabricate thin films of CeO2 on glass substrates by the spray pyrolysis process.
- As a dopant to fabricate ZnO and CeO2 nanocrystals for electrochemical sensing of H2O2 and photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B and Congo red dyes.
- As an additive to prepare corrosion-inhibiting formulations and coatings.
- To synthesize carbon nanofiber composites to fabricate high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell cathodes.
- As a support for the combination of cerium(III)chloride heptahydrate and sodium iodide supported on silica gel to promoteMichael-type additions. These catalysts are used to convert from indolesand nitroalkenes to 2-indolyl-1-nitroalkane derivatives in good yields.

Experimental studies have demonstrated that lanthanides could impair cognitive functions of children and animals, but very little is known about the hippocampal apoptosis and its molecular mechanism. The study investigated the signal pathway of hippocampal apoptosis induced by intragastric administration
