Monoclinic yttrium oxide is known as the high temperature/high pressure phase of the material which require complex synthesis conditions. The patent is for the first time synthesis of monoclinic Y2O3 at low temperature (90 ?) using simple wet chemical precipitation strategy. The synthesis was carried out using simple laboratory hot air oven using minimum chemicals.
The present invention relates to the field of nanotechnology. The disclosure provides a method for the preparation of europium-doped zinc sulfide (ZnS: Eu) nanoparticles, wherein the synthesis is carried out in distilled water as the solvent under room temperature conditions to produce nanoparticles exhibiting pronounced luminescence characteristics. The method distinctly enables the formation of highly luminescent nanoparticles without the use of any surface passivating agents or alcohol-based solvents.
