Abstract

Nanocrystalline zirconia powder has been synthesized by an aqueous combustion synthesis route using glycine as fuel and nitrate as oxidizer. The powders have been prepared by using different glycine to zirconyl nitrate molar ratios (G/N). The powders produced with different G/N ratios have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to determine the parameters resulting from powder with attractive properties. The theoretical combustion temperature (T ad ) has been calculated for different G/N ratios, and it is correlated with powder characteristics. An attempt is also made to explain the stability of tetragonal zirconia on the basis of extrinsic factors such as the morphology of nanocrystallites. Nanocrystalline metastable tetragonal zirconia (∼25 nm) powder (TZ) with disc-shaped morphology has been produced with a weak agglomeration in fuel deficient mixtures.
