Description
Preparation of cesium compoundsCesium nitrate prisms are used in infrared spectroscopy, x-ray phosphors and scintillation counters. It is a precursor material for the synthesis of cesium nitratocuprate and cesium salts. Cesium nitrate doped on carbon-based ruthenium catalyst plays an important role in synthesis of ammonia.
