NIO BIUM PENTOXIDE AR
SKU
RXSOL-60-6605-103
Also known as
NIOBIUM PENTOXIDE AR
Niobium pentoxide is used mainly in the production of niobium metal, but specialized applications exist for lithium niobate and as a component of optical glass. Thin films of Nb2O5 form the dielectric layers in solid electrolyte capacitors.
Note
Molten niobium pentoxide has lower mean coordination numbers than the crystalline forms, with a structure comprising mostly NbO5 and NbO6 polyhedra
Niobium pentoxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Nb2O5. It is a colorless insoluble solid that is fairly unreactive. It is the main precursor to all materials made of niobium, the dominant application being alloys, but other specialized applications include capacitors, lithium niobate, and optical glasses.
