Abstract

The thermodynamic parameters of La(NO3)3 and La(OH)3 are evaluated and the thermodynamics of nano-La2O3 synthetic process is analyzed. On the base of thermodynamic analysis, La2O3 nano-powders are prepared by the sol-gel method and experiment scheme is designed by an orthogonal method. The dry-gelatin is analyzed with different thermal analysis/thermo-gravimetric analysis (THA-DTA) and X-ray diffraction method. The microstructure of nano-La2O3 particles are experimentally examined and analyzed. All the results indicate that nano-La2O3 particles well-dispersed are obtained and the average grain size is in the range of 20–50 nm.
