The demand for lanthanum titanate continues to increase and the industry development prospects are good

Lanthanum titanate is a chemical substance with the molecular formula H14La2O7Ti2. It looks like a black powder and is stable at room temperature and pressure. It has piezoelectric, ferroelectric, electro-optical and nonlinear optical properties. It is a calcium pyroniobate type layered structure. high temperature iron crystals.

There are various production methods for lanthanum titanate, including hydrothermal synthesis, molten salt method, co-precipitation method, citric acid complex method, pulse laser deposition, sol-gel method, etc. At present, the commonly used production method of lanthanum titanate is the hydrothermal synthesis method, which refers to the method of using lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate, titanium sulfate, ultrapure water, etc. as raw materials, through dissolving, mixing sodium hydroxide, and high-temperature reaction to generate lanthanum titanate. This method has the advantages of cheap and easily available raw materials, simple production process, and low environmental pollution.

Lanthanum titanate is a type of rare earth composite metal oxide with high catalytic activity, strong redox ability, high stability, low toxicity, and high photon quantum efficiency, and has good application prospects. On the one hand, lanthanum titanate can be used as a high-refractive index coating material in the manufacturing of optical components such as lenses, prisms, and filters. Lanthanum titanate coating materials can achieve high refractive index and high transmittance in the visible and near-infrared spectral ranges. High efficiency and low reflectivity, it is an ideal coating material for preparing high-efficiency optical components. In recent years, driven by the rapid development of the optical component market, the demand for lanthanum titanate has continued to grow. Taking optical filters as an example, the domestic optical filter market demand will be close to 3 billion pieces in 2022. The huge demand provides broad development space for the lanthanum titanate market.

According to the “China Lanthanum Titanate Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center , On the other hand, lanthanum titanate can also be used as a photocatalyst in the field of environmental pollution purification, such as water decomposition, degradation of toxic organic matter, etc. In recent years, as domestic environmental protection supervision and environmental governance have continued to increase, the market demand for lanthanum titanate has continued to increase. Thanks to the rapid development of the downstream market, my country’s lanthanum titanate market size will be approximately 510 million yuan in 2022.

The main lanthanum titanate manufacturers in my country include Jiangsu Oriental Shuohua Optical Materials, Suzhou Putin Vacuum Technology, Taizhou Aites Optical Materials, Xi’an Fangke New Material Technology, Shenzhen Tianjiao Coating Materials, Xuzhou Shengtang Optoelectronics Technology, Nanyang Lida Optoelectronics, etc. , there are a large number of enterprises, but most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises. In the future, enterprises still need to accelerate their growth.

Industry analysts said that lanthanum titanate is an important rare earth composite metal oxide with high With advantages such as catalytic activity and high stability, it plays an important role in fields such as optics and environmental protection. In recent years, driven by the rapid development of the downstream market, my country’s market demand for lanthanum titanate has continued to increase, and the industry has good development prospects. At present, there are many domestic lanthanum titanate production companies, but most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises. In the future, local companies will need to continuously improve their technical level and increase the research and development of high-end products.
