Preparation and characterization of lanthanum phosphate nanosparticles by solgel spin coating method / Zainurul Atikah Zakaria

The sol-gel method was used to prepare LaPO4 nanoparticles as the intimate mixing of the chemical in ensuring homogeneity of the product. Besides, sol-gel methods also have much compensation compared to other methods such as easy coating of large surfaces, low processing temperature and also simple...

In this work, a sol-gel spin coating method was adopted to prepare LaPO4 nanoparticles with good morphologies. NH4H2PO4 and La(NO3)3.6H2O were used as a precursor or starting material.

The intensity of photoluminescence was found to be increased as the concentration of EDTA increased, and LaPO4 prepared at 0.05 mol concentration of EDTA has higher intensity.

FESEM results show that at lower annealing temperatures, 200oC and 300oC, the ricelike structures of LaPO4 was formed and when the temperatures were increased to 400oC and 500oC, the LaPO4 started to form a spherical shape.

Different coating on the glass will contribute to the different sizes and morphologies of the LaPO4 nanostructures thin film. With increasing number of layers, the particles appear to stick together and this increases the density of nanoparticles formed on surface.
