title: From ScOOH to Sc2 O3 : Phase Control, Luminescent Properties, and Applications.
abstract: In the controlled synthesis of ScOOH nanomaterials, the surfactant molecule Na3 Cit not only helps to manipulate the crystallographic structures, but also to initiate the transfer from α-ScOOH to γ-ScOOH. Further annealing of ScOOH generates cubic Sc2 O3 with morphologies inherited from respective origins. When doped with lanthanide ions, both ScOOH and Sc2 O3 can be utilized for high-temperature probing and light-emitting-diode lighting.
