Abstract
The formation of zirconia nanocrystals upon heat treatment of amorphous zirconia hydroxide is investigated. It is demonstrated that ZrO(OH)2 · xH2O xerogel particles are aggregates of primary nanoparticles that have sizes of 3–5 nm and a short-range order structure. The phase composition, the structural parameters, and the stability of nanocrystals of high-temperature zirconia phases formed depend on the synthesis conditions of the precursor (primarily on the type of initial zirconium salts) and the heat treatment parameters (temperature, time).
