SYNTHESIS OF ZIRCONIA NANOPARTICLES VIA THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OF ZIRCONIUM COMPLEX WITH CITRIC ACID
Keywords:
ZrO2, zirconia nanoparticles, stability of tetragonal ZrO2Abstract
The influence of pH value of zirconium oxycitrate solution on formation of ZrO2 nanoparticles prepared via its thermal decomposition has been investigated. Powder X-ray diffractional analysis and transmission electron microscopy have been applied to characterize nanomaterial’s properties. It has been established that the low pH value (pH 2,0) favors formation of non-agglomerated nanoparticles of the mainly tetragonal ZrO2.
