General description

Yttrium(III) butoxide is an organometallic compound commonly utilized as a precursor in the synthesis of various yttrium-based compounds. These compounds are widely used in optical coatings, ceramics, electronic components, and superconducting materials.

Application

Precursor to composite film electrode for solid oxide fuel cells.
Yttrium(III) butoxide serves as a key precursor in:

  • Sol–gel synthesis of barium zirconate-based perovskites BaZr0.8Y0.2O3−δ, used as an electrolyte in protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) and protonic ceramic electrolyzer cells (PCECs) and other electrochemical devices.
  • Solvothermal synthesis of Y-doped SnO₂ nanocrystals (Y-SnO₂ NCs), which serve as an electron transport layer (ETL) in planar perovskite solar cells.
  • Synthesis of yttrium doped BaTiO3 barium titanate widely used material for electric ceramics due to its excellent dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties.
  • Synthesis of Y4Al2O9 nanoparticles utilized in various optoelectronic applications, including LED lighting, display technologies, and potentially in solar energy conversion systems.

Features and Benefits

  • With a purity level of ≥99.9% (<1000ppm), it enhances the quality and reliability of applications in ceramics and thin films.
  • Yttrium(III) butoxide with ≥99.9% purity improves the mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of final materials, boosting their effectiveness and reliability.
