Synthesis
lanthanum oxide crystallizes as several polymorphs.

To produce hexagonal La2O3, a 0.1 M solution of LaCl3 is sprayed onto a preheated

substrate, usually made of metal chalcogenides.[3] The process can be viewed as occurring

in two steps – hydrolysis followed by dehydration:

2 LaCl3 + 3 H2O → La(OH)3 + 3 HCl
2 La(OH)3 → La2O3 + 3 H2O
An alternative route to hexagonal La2O3 involves precipitation of nominal La(OH)3 from

aqueous solution using a combination of 2.5% NH3 and the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate

followed by heating and stirring for 24 hours at 80 °C:

2 LaCl3+ 3 H2O + 3 NH3 → La(OH)3 + 3 NH4Cl
LaCl3·3H2O → La2O3
Other routes include:

2 La2S3 + 3 CO2 → 2 La2O3 + 3 CS2
2 La2(SO4)3 + heat → 2 La2O3 + 6 SO3
