A new solvothermal pressure-relief (SPR) process was successfully developed for synthesis of La2O2S at relatively low temperature (300 °C) by using La(NO3)3·nH2O and NH2CSNH2 as reactants in organic media. In contrast, the normal solvothermal and hydrothermal process can only produce La(OH)CO3 and La(OH)SO4, respectively. The present SPR process provides a favorable low-temperature reaction pathway for synthesis of lanthanide oxysulfides. The mechanism and solvent effects on the formation of lanthanum oxysulfide were investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
