Solvothermal method to obtain europium-doped yttrium oxide

Synthesis and optical properties of yttria-doped ZrO2 nanopowders

“…It is the only transitional metal oxide that presents both acidity and alkalescence centers, along with the high performance in mechanical, thermal, optical, catalytic properties and high ionic conductivity at elevated temperatures (>1000 K) [1][2][3][4], so, ZrO 2 has been widely used in the fields of functional ceramics as well as electronic materials, oxygen sensors, humidity sensors, anode in fuel cells and catalytic membrane reactors [5][6][7][8][9].…”

Solvothermal synthesis, controlled morphology and optical properties of Y2O3:Eu3+ nanocrystals

“…The absorption band centered around 3338 cm À1 can be attributed to the OH À vibration mode. The peaks centered around 1563 and 1472 cm À1 can be attributed to CO 3 2À in the bond-stretching mode [33].…”

Synthesis and characterization of wire-like and near-spherical Eu2O3-doped Y2O3 phosphors by solvothermal reaction

“…Davolos et al prepared pure yttrium oxide or europium doped yttrium oxides in supercritical isopropanolic suspension at 500 1C for 20 h, however, this might be caused by the high treatment temperature; irregular powders with an equivalent diameter of ca. 5 mm were obtained [9]. Other researchers successfully prepared CeO 2 or Y 2 O 3 :Eu nanowire arrays by using anodic alumina oxide template [10,11].…”
