Abstract:Herein, size‐controllable spherical yttrium carbonate powders with D50 in range from 225 to 743 nm are synthesized from Y(NO3)3·6H2O and urea. With the rise of the concentration ratio of urea/Y3+, temperature, and extension of aging time, diameter of yttrium carbonate spheres increases. When the urea/Y3+ is 40: 1 and ages for 4 h at 90 °C, the D50 of synthesized powder, which has been determined as Y(OH)CO3·1.3H2O, has the largest D50 of 743 nm with (D90–D10)/2D50 of 0.22. After decomposition, the D50 of forme… Show more
