Description: Lanthanum carbonate, La2(CO3)3, is the salt formed by lanthanum(III) cations and carbonate anions. It is an ore of lanthanum metal, along with monazite.
Lanthanum carbonate is used as a starting material in lanthanum chemistry, particularly in forming mixed oxides, for example:
for production of lanthanum strontium manganite, primarily for solid oxide fuel cell applications;
for production of certain high-temperature superconductors, such as La2-xSrxCuO2.
