Used as a precursor in the synthesis of lanthanum-containing nitride materials for advanced ceramic applications. Employed in research for developing semiconductors and optoelectronic devices due to its unique electronic properties. Investigated for potential use in catalysis, particularly in ammonia synthesis and nitrogen fixation processes. Serves as a dopant or reactant in solid-state chemistry to modify the conductivity and structural features of inorganic compounds. Also explored in the preparation of luminescent materials and phosphors for display technologies.
