Abstract

We report the colloidal synthesis of rare earth oxide nanoplates with square and disk shapes using thermal decomposition of Ln(CH3CO2)3·xH2O in the presence of a mixture of oleylamine and oleic acid (Ln=La, Pr, Nd, Dy, Er, and Y). In this synthesis, oleylamine plays an important role in the formation of ultra-thin nanoplates with thickness of 1.1 nm, which corresponds to a single unit cell dimension of rare earth oxides, and oleic acid serves as a capping agent for the formation of nanoplates having nano-sized side dimension (around 15-40 nm). By varying the rare earth precursors, we obtained square-shaped nanoplates (La2O3, Pr2O3, and Nd2O3) and disk-shaped nanoplates (Dy2O3, Er2O3, and Y2O3), respectively, confirming that our synthesis could be extended to the synthesis of various rare earth oxide nanoplates.
