Abstract
<TEX>$Y(OH)_3$</TEX> nanowires were synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction of metallic Y with aqueous solution of LiOH. The morphology and the size of the nanowires changed with varying the volume of the LiOH solution inside the autoclave. <TEX>$Y(OH)_3$</TEX> nanowires transformed to <TEX>$Y_2O_3$</TEX> by a subsequent heat-treatment without morphological change. By a proper control of hydrothermal reaction parameter and heat-treatment, the yield of pure <TEX>$Y_2O_3$</TEX> nanowires up to 97% was attained.
