摘要

Nanocrystalline zirconia (ZrO2) was synthesized using a microwave-hydrothermal process. The effect of pH on the crystallization of the ZrO2 powders was investigated. The phase and microstructure of ZrO2 powders were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results show that pure m-ZrO2 can be obtained at low pH (pH<2). Pure t-ZrO2 is formed at pH = 7 and 14. The size of the ZrO2 crystals is in the range of 8-26 nm and decreases with increasing pH. The formation of m-ZrO2 results from the precipitation of ZrO2 from solution. The t-ZrO2 is formed through the in-situ structural rearrangement of amorphous Zr(OH)xOy. The stabilization of t-ZrO2 is attributed to the small crystal size and the adsorption of hydroxy ions on the surfaces of the crystals.
