Yttrium Oxide Nanoparticle Synthesis: An Overview of Methods of Preparation and Biomedical Applications

Metal oxide nanoparticles demonstrate uniqueness in various technical applications due to their suitable physiochemical properties. In particular, yttrium oxide (Y2O3) nanoparticle is familiar for technical applications because of its higher dielectric constant and thermal stability. It is widely used as a host material for a variety of rare-earth dopants, biological imaging, and photodynamic therapies. Y2O3 has also been used as a polarizer, phosphor, laser host material, and in the optoelectronic fields for cancer therapy, biosensor, and bioimaging. Yttrium oxide nanoparticles have attractive antibacterial and antioxidant properties. This review focuses on the promising applications of Y2O3, its drawbacks, and its modifications. The synthetic methods of nanoparticles, such as sol-gel, emulsion, chemical methods, solid-state reactions, combustion, colloid reaction techniques, and hydrothermal processing, are recapitulated. Herein, we also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Y2O3 NPs based biosensors that function through various detection modes including colorimetric, electrochemistry, and chemo luminescent regarding the detection of small organic chemicals, metal ions, and biomarkers.

Wetting Ability

Nanocoatings plays an important role in coating industry. The solution was being prepared through copolymerization of epoxy resin hardener and with the incorporation of metal oxide nanoparticles, Zinc Oxide (ZnO) and Silica (SiO2). ZnO and SiO2 were synthesized using sol-gel. Epoxy hardener acted as host while the metal oxide nanoparticles as guest components. The formulation of nanocoatings with excellent adhesion strength and corrosion protection of carbon steel was studied. The performance of wetting ability with different medium was analysed using contact angle. Water medium showed the addition of 3wt% of hybrid between ZnO and SiO2 was the best nanocoating to form hydrophobic surface and was also the best nanocoating surface to form hydrophilic surface with vacuum oil dropping. In oil dropping, the contact angle was smaller than 90° and the water drop tends to spreads on surface.

ABSTRACTSol-gel routes to metal oxide nanoparticles in organic solvents under exclusion of water represent a valuable alternative to aqueous methods. In comparison to the complex aqueous chemistry, nonaqueous processes offer the possibility to better understand and to control the reaction pathways on a molecular level, enabling the synthesis of nanomaterials with high crystallinity and well-defined and uniform particle morphologies. The manifold role of the organic species in providing the oxygen for the oxide formation and in controlling the crystal growth and the assembly properties makes it possible to tailor the morphological, structural and compositional characteristics of the final inorganic products.In addition to metal oxides with nearly spherical crystallite sizes in the range of just a few nanometers, also more complex morphologies such as nanowire bundles, nanorods or lamellar organic-inorganic hybrids of varying hierarchical complexity can be achieved in one step and without the use of any surfactants. The spherical nanocrystallites are on the one hand versatile building blocks for the fabrication of fully crystalline and ordered mesoporous materials and on the other hand suitable precursors for the synthesis of metal nitride nanoparticles.This proceeding provides an overview of the various oxidic nanoparticles synthesized via the nonaqueous and surfactant-free sol-gel approach, summarizes the most frequently found formation mechanisms, and offers some insight into the crystallization pathway of nanoparticles. Furthermore, the use of metal oxide nanoparticles as nanobuilding blocks for the preparation of nano- and mesostructures as well as their transformation into metal nitride nanocrystals will be discussed.

ABSTRACTTwo general microemulsion-based routes towards surface-functionalized metal oxide nanoparticles serving as macroinitiators in “grafting from” atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), are presented. Metal alkoxides modified with several β-diketone derivatives carrying potential ATRP-initiating sites served as precursors for the particle formation leading in an solgel process to in situ-functionalized titanium-, zirconium-, tantalum-, vanadium-, yttrium-, and iron oxide nanoparticles. The obtained systems were compared with metal oxide nanoparticles prepared by using metal salts as precursors which were functionalized in a second step with ATRP-initiator containing silane coupling agents. The obtained particles had diameters between 5 nm and 640 nm and served as multifunctional polymerization initiators in ATRP using styrene and methyl methacrylate as monomers.
