Cesium hydroxide monohydrate
Caesium hydroxide or cesium hydroxide (CsOH) is a chemical compound consisting of caesium ions and hydroxide ions. It is a strong base (pKb=-1.76), much like the other alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. In fact, caesium hydroxide is corrosive enough to corrode through glass quickly.

product superiority
1. High alkalinity——It is one of the most alkaline compounds currently known, with an alkalinity far exceeding that of common strong bases such as potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide. This strong alkalinity enables it to efficiently catalyze a variety of difficult organic reactions, and it can maintain good reactivity even under special conditions such as low temperatures.
2. Wide range of purity compatibility——The purity of the commercial products can reach 99% - 99.9% or even higher, and the content of impurities such as lithium, potassium, and iron can be strictly controlled. The high purity feature makes it suitable for large-scale industrial production.
application scenarios
1. Preparation of cesium salts and metallic cesium——These are the basic raw materials for preparing various cesium salts. By reacting with different acids, they can produce cesium chloride, cesium formate, and other types of cesium salts. These cesium salts are widely used in the fields of electronics and research.
2. Energy field——On one hand, it can be used as a desulfurization reagent for heavy oil, effectively removing sulfur elements from the heavy oil and improving its quality, while reducing pollutant emissions during combustion. On the other hand, it can be used to prepare the electrolyte for alkaline batteries that operate in low-temperature environments (with the lowest temperature reaching -50℃).
