The rare earth fluoride (rare earth fluoride) industry has huge room for development and my country’s research has made new progress

Rare earth fluoride, also known as rare earth fluoride, refers to a compound composed of rare earth elements such as lanthanum series, scandium series, yttrium series and fluorine element. Rare earth fluorides usually have the advantages of good chemical stability, good insulation, high luminous efficiency, strong ionicity, and low refractive index, and are widely used in catalysts, electronics, optical instruments, new materials and other fields.

There are many types of rare earth fluorides. According to the different rare earth elements they contain, they can be divided into lanthanum series rare earth fluorides, scandium series rare earth fluorides, yttrium series rare earth fluorides and other types. Lanthanide series rare earth fluoride is a representative rare earth fluoride. It has the advantages of good thermal properties, good electrical properties, strong tissue penetration, and weak background interference. As a conversion luminescent material, it is widely used in high-performance sensors and anti-counterfeiting signs. , biofluorescent labeling and other fields have broad application prospects. In the future, as the application demand for segmented products increases, the development speed of my country’s rare earth fluoride industry will accelerate.

At present, many enterprises and scientific research institutions in my country are engaged in the research, development and production of rare earth fluorides, and many new developments have been made. In August 2023, Chen Xueyuan’s research team at the Fujian Institute of Material Structure of the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully discovered a new heterostructure design of rare earth sulfide oxide/fluoride using controlled experiments. This research is expected to be applied in the preparation process of efficient luminescent nanocrystals in the future. .

According to the “2023-2027 China Rare Earth Fluoride (Rare Earth Fluoride) Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report span>》shows that rare earth fluorides have excellent properties and can be used as optical fiber materials, crystal materials and luminescent materials, and are widely used in many fields. In recent years, with the accelerated development of high-tech industries such as new energy and flat-panel displays, my country’s demand for luminescent material applications has continued to grow, and the industry’s prosperity has further improved. High-purity rare earth fluorides have extremely high luminous efficiency and good application prospects. In the future, as downstream demand becomes increasingly strong, the development space of my country’s rare earth fluoride industry will be further expanded.

In terms of market competition, my country’s rare earth fluoride market is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, and the industry concentration is low. Ashichuang, Yixin New Materials, Jushan Rare Earth, Huachen Rare Earth, Desheng New Materials, etc. are the main manufacturers of rare earth fluorides in my country. At present, due to factors such as high technical barriers and shortage of raw material supply, there are very few companies in my country with the ability to independently produce high-purity rare earth fluorides, and local companies focus on the production of mid-to-low-end products.

Industry analysts said that as luminescent materials, rare earth fluorides are widely used in many fields. In the future, as the development of downstream industries accelerates, their The market space will be expanded. In recent years, attracted by the advancement of the market, my country’s enthusiasm for research and development of rare earth fluorides has continued to rise. In the future, with in-depth research and technological advancement, the prosperity of my country’s rare earth fluoride industry will continue to increase.
