Abstract

The surface fractal properties of ZrO2 , WO3 , and CeO2 powders prepared by the thermal decomposition of ZrO(NO3)2 , (NH4)4W5O17 , and (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6 , respectively, were studied by mercury porosimetry. The results demonstrate that these oxides may, in principle, have fractal surfaces owing to topochemical processes of the type A(s) → B(s) + C(g). The surface fractal dimension of individual crystallites and their aggregates are determined.
