About Cesium Formate Solution

Cesium Formate Solution (Cesium Formate Brine, or CsFo) is an aqueous solution of cesium formate used primarily by the oil and gas industry as a drilling fluid, drill tip lubricant, and a foundation stabilizer due to its high density, environmental friendliness, and stability under high temperature and pressure environments. Cesium formate brines have numerous other industrial and chemical applications. It has also been used as a precursor material for cesium tin iodide (CsSnI3), a promising semiconducting perovskite crystal for highly efficient photovoltaic solar cells. American Elements produces cesium formate in 80% aqueous solution in numerous standard grades and purities, from Technical Grade to 99.99+% (metals basis), in addition to cesium formate powder and chunks; we can also manufacture to customer specifications. Typical and custom packaging is available, as is additional research, technical and safety (MSDS) data.

The number of electrons in each of Cesium's shells is 2, 8, 18, 18, 8, 1 and its electron configuration is [Xe]6s1. Cesium Bohr ModelThe cesium atom has a radius of 265 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 343 pm. Cesium is a member of the alkali group of metals. It is one of three metals that occur as a liquid at room temperature, the others being mercury and gallium. Elemental CesiumCesium's main commercial source is pollucite ore; however, it is also found in beryl, avogadrite, pezzottaite, and londonite. Cesium was discovered by Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff in 1860 and first isolated by Carl Setterberg in 1882. In its elemental form, cesium has a silvery gold appearance. The word Cesium originates from the Latin word "caesius," meaning "sky blue," which refers to the vibrant blue lines in its spectrum.
