Problems solved by technology

The disadvantages of the solid phase reaction method are: impurities are easily introduced during the ball milling process and the raw materials are not easy to mix. At the same time, high-temperature calcination reduces the sintering activity of the powder, and it is impossible to obtain nano-scale powder.
The disadvantages of this method are: due to the difference in precipitation speed between different components, it is easy to cause different ions to precipitate successively, which makes it difficult to control the uniformity of the microscopic composition, and it is difficult to wash and filter the precipitate, and the powder is easy to agglomerate
Disadvantages of this technology are: high equipment requirements

The disadvantages of this method are: the cost of raw materials is high, and the main reason for the high cost is The reason is that the synthesis conditions of Y and other rare earth ion alkoxides are particularly harsh (moisture must be strictly controlled), the process is complex, and the synthesis yield is low; in addition, during the drying process of the gel, if the drying is not done properly, it is easy to cause powder Agglomeration, if not resolved immediately, will eventually evolve into hard agglomeration, thereby reducing the sintering activity of the powder

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) nano-powder. The preparation method comprises the steps of dissolving aluminum salt in isopropanol to prepare an aluminum solution, dissolving acetate of yttrium ions and/or other rare earth ions in deionized water to prepare a solution A, dropwise adding the aluminum solution to the solution A under the condition of vigorous stirring, executing the stages of collosol, gel, freeze drying and the like to form a precursor, and calcinating the precursor at a high temperature to form the YAG nano-powder. With the adoption of the preparation method, the YAG nano-powder which is small in particle size (30-110nm), high in sintering activity and uniform in doping can be prepared at lower cost and lower temperature (900-1100 DEG C).
