Product Introduction

Cesium Carbonate | High Purity Cesium Carbonate Powder|CAS 534-17-8

1. Product Introduction

Cesium Carbonate is an inorganic cesium salt with the chemical formula Cs₂CO₃ and CAS number 534-17-8. It appears as a white crystalline powder or granular solid at room temperature, featuring extremely high water solubility, excellent alcohol solubility and strong deliquescence. Different from ordinary alkali metal carbonates, cesium carbonate possesses high chemical activity, weak alkalinity and stable thermal performance, making it an indispensable high-purity fine chemical raw material in advanced industrial and scientific fields.

As a core cesium-based compound, high-purity Cesium Carbonate serves as a fundamental precursor for manufacturing various cesium salts, optical glass, ceramic materials and chemical catalysts. It exhibits superior catalytic efficiency, low-temperature activity and non-toxic characteristics, widely applied in organic synthesis catalysis, new energy materials, electronic industry, optical glass manufacturing and pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis. Our industrial and high-purity grade Cesium Carbonate features low impurity content, stable batch consistency and excellent deliquescence resistance, enjoying high recognition among global high-end industrial buyers.
