8 mol% Y-doped powder was synthesized by Pechini method from titanium isopropoxide, strontium nitrate, yttrium nitrate, citric acid and ethylene glycol. A pyrochlore phase-free perovskite powder was obtained by calcining a polymeric resin, which was prepared from a precursor solution, at in an air atmosphere. Low temperature calcination could lead to a fine-grained microstructure. In the case of a solid-state reaction, an extended heat-treatment at high temperature in a reduced atmosphere needed to obtain a single phase perovskite .

Y2-xGdxO3:Eu, phosphors for plasma display panel(PDP), were prepared by Pechini method which use yttriun chloride, gadolinium chloride, and europium oxide as starting materials. This method is a different way to the synthesis of europium(Eu)-doped phosphors, and it consists of the formation of a polymeric resin obtained by polyesterification between metal chelate compounds and a polyfunctional alcohol. This needs lower temperature than solid-state synthetic method. The prepared Y2-xGdxO3:Eu phosphor particles had spherical shape and coherence. The luminescence intensity of Y2-xGdxO3:Eu phosphor particles increased according to the increase of gadolinium(Gd) content(to 0.8mol%), and Y1.2Gd0.8O3:Eu phosphors had the highest luminescence intensity under vacuum ultra violet(VUV) excitation. The optimum concentration of Eu in the phosphor and optimum calcination temperature was 3wt% and 1100℃. The prepared phosphors were consist of particle, and its size was between 100nm and 150nm. Among the different polyfunctional alcohols, diethylene glycol(DEG) improved the luminescence intensities of phosphors more than other additives. The Pechini method proved that it is demonstrated to be suitable for the synthesis of phosphors used in PDP.

Pechini방법으로 제조한 La0.8Ca0.2CrO3CLC소결체와 La0.8Ca0.2CrO3CLC-Green체를 YSZ에 적층한 후 온도의 함수로 계면에서의 미세구조와 성분이동 등의 거동을 고찰하였다. CLC-G/CLC와 CLC/YSZ계면에서의 CLC면은 반응온도에 상관없이 XRD 관찰에서 주상은 La1-x CaxCrO3그리고 CLC와 반응하지 않은 YSZ면의 결정 상은 cubic-ZrO2으로 각각 나타났다. CLC/YSZ반응 계면의 성분이동은 Zr > La>>Cr>>>Ca 순이었으며, 온도에 따른 개개 성분의 이동도 차이는 크지 않았다. CLC/YSZ계면간의 결합은 계면성분간의 과다한 성분이동 없이 현 연구의 온도전체에 걸쳐 가능한 것으로 나타났다. CLC-G/CLC간의 SEM미세구조는 결합 면을 경계로 저온에서는 결정의 입자크기 차이를 보이다가 온도가 증가할수록 균일화되는 경향을 보였다.였다. 보였다.였다.
