Abstract

This paper reports a novel non-aqueous solvent chemical process to prepare nano ZrO₂ powders. ZrOCl₂•6H₂O and urea were directly dissolved into an organic solvent of glycol. After this solution was put into an oven and reacted at 95°C for 2 h, a transparent gel was obtained. As-received gel was heated at 210°C for 5 hrs to remove glycol, and dry powders were obtained. Then the powders were calcined at 750°C, and monoclinic phase of ZrO₂ was obtained. With different concentration of ZrOCl₂, a range of nano ZrO2 powders were obtained. Furthermore, a surfactant of polyglycol was added into the solution to improve the dispersion of nano-particles in the gel. XRD analysis confirmed the monoclinic phase of ZrO₂. SEM imaging showed the characteristics of nanoparticles. BET analysis was employed to test the aggregation of as-received nano ZrO ₂ particles. Considering the effects of both the concentration of ZrOCl₂ and the surfactant, the optimized synthesis process of nano ZrO₂ particles was formed.
