Used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly in dehydration and condensation reactions.

Exhibits luminescent properties when doped with rare earth ions, making it suitable for use in phosphors and lighting applications, including displays requiring specific emission wavelengths.

Investigated for potential use in solid-state electrolytes and rare earth ion batteries due to ionic conductivity in certain crystalline forms.

Applied in advanced ceramic materials for high-temperature stability, such as in engines or exhaust systems in the energy industry.

Used in magnetic research due to the unique magnetic properties of samarium compounds, enabling development of high-performance permanent magnets.

Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of other samarium-containing compounds.
