Abstract
The sol-gel technique with a microwave irradiation was used to synthesize ZrO2 and Cu/ZrO2 solids at various pH values and hydrolysis catalysts. Microwave irradiation induces ZrO2 tetragonal phase formation at almost any pH. The copper was bonded through oxygen bonds to the zirconia lattice. The introduction of copper favored the support acidity.
