Cerium hydride is rare earth hydride powder including CeH2 and CeH3. CeH2 is brittle black blue crystalline powder of CaF2 type structure, which self-ignite in moisture air. It react with water at 0℃. CeH3 is dark blue amorphous powder or brittle blue gray crystalline powder. It decompose in water and self-ignite in moisture air. After stability treatment, CeH2 is stable in air. It owns semiconductor property. Cerium metal is the raw material.
