Gallium oxide Inorganic compound Ga2O3 has the chemical formula. Also called gallium trioxide. It’s a semiconductor with a large bandgap (Eg=4.9eV) that has good electrical conductivity, light-emitting properties, and can be used to detect O2.

The Properties Of Gallium Oxide

Gallium oxide is composed of triangular, crystalline white particles. Although it is not soluble, it can be dissolved in alkaline or acidic solutions.

Gallium trioxide (III oxide) is the most stable oxide of gallium. It can be made by heating metal gallium to oxidize or by calcining galium nitrates, gallium hydroxides, and certain gallium compound at 200-250degC.

Ga2O3 is capable of reacting with a wide range of metal oxides. The crystal structure has been determined for gallate M(I),GaO2, obtained by the alkali-metal oxide reaction above 400°C. The same as Al2O3 and Ln2O3, this material can be obtained by reaction of MgO with ZnO. CoO, NiO, and CuO Spinel Type M(II).

Preparation and Use of Gallium Oxide

1. Add a highly-concentrated hot aqueous NaHCO3 aqueous to the hot aqueous gallium trichloride GaCl3, boil, and then precipitate all gallium hydroxides. After washing the precipitate in hot water, calcinate it at 600degC until no Cl- remains. When NH4Cl still remains, at 250degC it will react Ga2O3 and generate GaCl3.

2. This is how you prepare high purity galium oxide. Use high-purity Ga metal as anode. Dissolve it in a H2SO4 5%-20% solution. Add ammonia, cool and crystallize Ga (NH4)(SO4)2, before drying it at 105degC. When there is excess oxygen in the air, burning at 800degC and for 2h will yield a 99.99%-99.9999% pure product.

3. The solution should be concentrated until it is close to crystallization. When this happens, the solution can be transferred to a large evaporating plate and dried. Burn the Ga(NO3)3 that has been evaporated in a muffle-furnace. The temperature must be maintained at 550°C for 5 hours. After cooling, 1.2kg of highly pure gallium oxide can be obtained.
