Study on Preparation and Properties of Yttrium Isopropoxide

Yttrium Yttrium isopropoxide was synthesized from yttrium and ioproxide by direct reaction. Yttria powders were prepared from yttrium alkoxide by sol-gel process. IR, XRD and TEM studied their structures and morphologies. The results showed that: yttrium isopropoxide could be prepared by direct reaction of metal and alcohol. IR, XRD results investigated that hydroxide yttrium and yttrium could be obtained after hydrolyzing and sintering. The morphologies of hydroxide yttrium powders were network structures formed by irregular particles, those of yttria powders were single particles.
