Synthesis of partially-stabilized tetragonal zirconia

摘要

The present invention concerns methods of synthesizing high purity partially stabilized tetragonal zirconia or fully stabilized cubic zirconia from aqueous solutions or suspensions. The partially-stabilized tetragonal zirconia is useful as an additive to other types of ceramic materials to toughen a composite. The fully-stabilized cubic zirconia is useful as an oxygen conductor for fuel cells.
