Facile Electrospinning Preparation of Y3Al5O12 Nanobelts

PVP/[Y(NO3)3+Al (NO3)3] composite nanobelts were fabricated via electrospinning combined with sol-gel process and novel structure of Y3Al5O12 (denoted as YAG for short) nanobelts have been obtained after calcination of the relevant composite nanobelts. The structural properties were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD analysis indicated that the composite nanobelts were amorphous, and YAG nanobelts were cubic in structure with space group Ia3d. FTIR analysis manifested that pure YAG nanobelts were formed at 900oC. SEM analysis and histograms revealed that the width of the composite nanobelts and YAG nanobelts were 3.5 μm and 2.4 μm, and the thickness were 240 nm and 112 nm, respectively, under the 95% confidence level. The formation mechanism of YAG nanobelts was discussed in detail.
