Preparation of Y2O3 Nanoparticles Organosol by Microemulsion Method

Y2O3 nanoparticles organosol coated with DBS was prepared by microemulsion method. The optimum preparative conditions of Y2O3 nanoparticles organosol were obtained. TEM analysis indicates that the prepared Y2O3 nanoparticles are spherical in shape. The size is about 5 nm. The size distribution is in the narrow range and no agglomerates are observed. Y2O3 nanoparticles coated with DBS are easy to dissolve in weak polar solvents.
