Lantanio (LA) Lathanium

Advanced Battery

Lanthanum is a key component in nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, which were widely used before the advent of lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are still used in hybrid vehicles such as the early generation Toyota Prius.

Precision Optics

Due to its unique optical properties, lanthanum is used in the production of high refractive index lenses for professional cameras, microscopes, and astronomical telescopes, significantly improving image quality.

Laser Technology

Lanthanum-doped crystals are essential in the manufacture of laser devices used in industrial, medical and research applications, where accuracy and reliability are crucial.
