Yttrium(III) oxide
Yttrium(III) oxide (CAS: 1314-36-9, Formula: Y₂O₃, MW: 225.81 g/mol) is a high-purity ceramic material. It is essential in advanced applications, particularly in the development of intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). Yttrium oxide also serves as a precursor for physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes, enabling the creation of thermal barrier coatings and specialized thin films.

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs)
Used in the fabrication of thin films for electrolyte and electrode layers in intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). Yttria-stabilized zirconia films are deposited via physical vapor deposition.
Thermal Barrier & Protective Coatings
Yttrium-containing films derived from Yttrium(III) oxide are employed as thermal barrier and protective coatings in thermoelectric devices.
Phosphor Applications
Rare earth doped yttrium oxide films are investigated for their potential use in phosphor applications due to their luminescent properties.
Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)
Serves as a sputtering target or vapor deposition precursor for depositing thin films, crucial in micro/nanoelectronics and materials science.

| Application | Solid Oxide Fuel cells operating at temperatures below 800 C (also known as intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell, IT-SOFC) are currently the topic of much research and development owing to the high degradation rates and materials costs incurred for SOFC operating at temperatures above 900 C. Thin films of electrode and electrolyte layers is one of the ways to achieve high performances in IT-SOFC.Yttrium oxide sputtering target can be used for physical vapor deposition of thin films of yttria stabilized zirconia layers for IT-SOFC. Yttrium containing films are used as thermal barrier and protective coatings in thermoelectric devices, rare earth doped yttrium oxide films are studied for phosphor applications. |
