A new method of preparing yttrium precursors on the basis of coordination hydroxynaphthaldehydate, salicylaldehyde and acetylacetonate compounds has been suggested. These have been prepared by a reaction of yttrium acetate with three various coordination compounds for forming yttrium complex types. These techniques provide proper control on nanoparticles size distribution. The generated steric hindrance due to the structure of the novel precursors, acts like a protecting agent and prevents from agglomeration. We synthesized nanoparticles of a size about 30–50 nm with homogeneous grains distribution at high calcination temperature 920 °C. The maximum values of transition temperature into the superconducting state have been found to be Tc(0) = 84 K with a temperature interval of ∆T = 3 K for YBCO nanosuperconductor. The synthesized products were characterized by powder Xray diffraction, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron micrograph and scanning electronic microscopy.
