A Brief Discussion on the Application of Rare Metals Rubidium and Cesium and Their Compounds

Scientific research has shown that the radiation frequency of rubidium and cesium can remain stable over long periods of time. Atomic clocks produced using rubidium atomic frequency standards utilize transitions between ground state hyperfine energy levels, resulting in advantages such as small size, high precision, low weight, small time error, excellent stability, and low energy consumption.

Rubidium and cesium are chemically active, making them highly ionized. Rubidium is increasingly being used in technologies such as magnetohydrodynamic generators and thermionic conversion power generation. Generators using cesium-containing materials can achieve a total thermal efficiency exceeding 60%. In the aviation industry, rubidium ion propulsion materials used in rockets and spacecraft can achieve a range 150 times that of solid or liquid fuels.

Rubidium and cesium salts have established applications in medicine. Cesium compounds are used as catalysts in biomedical and chemical research, and for labeling or tracking compounds. Their most notable medical use is as a density gradient medium in liquids for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) separation. Some rubidium salts are used as sedatives and as an anti-shock agent following the use of arsenic-containing drugs.

Rubidium and cesium resources are widely used in modern high-tech science and technology. Global demand for rubidium and cesium and its compounds is expected to rise in the future, and the market for their applications is promising. This growing market demand is prompting an increasing number of researchers to engage in research on separation and purification processes for rubidium and cesium and to expand its applications.
