Specification
The Yttrium oxide is an organic compound with the formula Y2O3. The IUPAC name of this chemical is 1-benzofuran. With the CAS registry number 1314-36-9, it is also named as Yttrium(III) oxide solution. The product's categories are Inorganic Chemicals; Inorganics; 39: Y; YttriumNanomaterials; Nanomaterials; Nanoparticles: Oxides, Nitrides, and Other Ceramics Metal and Ceramic Science; Nanopowders and Nanoparticle Dispersions; Alternative Energy; Electrolytes Metal and Ceramic Science; Materials Science; Oxides; Yttrium. Besides, it is a white fine powder, which should be stored in a cool and dry place.
Yttrium oxide is used as a common starting material for both materials science as well as inorganic compounds.
1. In materials science
Yttrium oxide is the most important yttrium compound and is widely used to make YVO4 europium and Y2O3 europium phosphors that give the red color In color TV picture tubes. Yttrium oxide is also used to make yttrium iron garnets, which are very effective microwave filters.
Y2O3 is used to make the high temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7, known as "1-2-3" to indicate the ratio of the metal constituents.
2. In inorganic synthesis
Yttrium oxide is an important starting point for inorganic compounds. For organometallic chemistry it is converted to YCl3 in a reaction with concentrated hydrochloric acid and ammonium chloride.
3. In lasers
Y2O3 ceramics is a prospective solid-state laser material. In particular, lasers with ytterbium as dopant allow the efficient operation both in cw operation and in pulsed regimes. At high concentration of excitations (of order of 1%) and poor cooling, the quenching of emission at laser frequency and avalanche broadband emission takes place.
Physical properties about Yttrium oxide are: (1)#H bond acceptors: 3; (2)#Freely Rotating Bonds: 2; (3)Polar Surface Area: 43.37 Å2.
Preparation: this chemical can be prepared by decomposition of yttrium niobium ore through extraction. Chemical reaction equation is as follows:
