Figure 6.5 Raman spectra of the Y2O3 nanoparticles annealed at 600 °C
Figure 6.6 Representative TEM images of Y2O3 nanoparticles annealed at (a) 600 °C, (b) 800 °C, (c) 1000 °C and (d) 1200 °C
Figure 6.6 shows representative TEM images of products annealed at different temperatures. It is revealed that they are composed of nanoparticles with various shapes. Due to their small size and high surface area, particles tend to agglomerate together. Their size and size distribution show an apparent increasing trend with the annealing temperatures, from 8-15
