침전제의 종류 및 침전 공정의 변화가 β-Ga2O3 분말 합성에 미치는 영향
Effect of Precipitants and Precipitation Conditions on Synthesis of β-Ga2O3 Powder
E-mail:
In this research, a precipitation method was used to synthesize β-Ga2O3 powders with various particle morphologies and sizes under varying precipitation conditions, such as gallium nitrate concentration, pH, and aging temperature, using ammonium hydroxide and ammonium carbonate as precipitants. The obtained powders were characterized in detail by XRD, SEM, FT-IR, and TG-DSC. From the TG-DSC result, GaOOH phase was transformed to β-Ga2O3 at around 742 oC, and weight loss percent was about 14 % when NH4OH was used as a precipitant. Also, β-Ga2O3 formed at 749 oC and weight loss percent was about 15 % when (NH)2CO3 was used as a precipitant. XRD results showed that the obtained Ga2O3 had pure monoclinic phase in both cases. When (NH)2CO3 was used as a precipitant, the particle shape changed and became irregular. The range of particle size was about 500 nm - 4 μm based on various concentrations of gallium nitrate solution with NH4OH. The particle size was increased from 1-2 μm to 3-4 μm and particle shape was changed from spherical to bar type by increasing aging temperature over 80 oC.
