Synthesis and Characterization of Stabilized Tetragonal Nano Zirconia by Precipitation Method.

摘要

Nano sized ZrO2 nanopowder was synthesized by precipitation method. Phase transformation was investigated as a function of calcination temperature by XRD, SEM , and FT-IR. It is indicated that the thermal anneling from 400 to 800 degrees C resulted in increasing the average crystallite size from 12 to 20 nm. As the calcination temperature increased, the crystallite size and the agglomeration were increased. The increase in the monoclinic content and grain growth are caused by the calcination temperatures even calcination at 800 degrees C.
