“…In the sintering process, the main factors affecting the densification of yttria are the raw material properties as well as the sintering process and methods [ 8 , 9 ]. At present, there are many methods to prepare yttria powders, such as precipitation, decomposition, combustion, and solvothermal techniques [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Although high-purity yttria powders can be prepared using these methods, no new technologies have been developed within these methods to further improve and control the performance of the resulting powders.…”
