Abstract

Abstract:

The synthesis of ZrO₂ by mechanochemical reaction using ZrCl₄ and CaO as raw materials and subsequent annealing of the products were investigated. The effect of thermal treatment on the structural evolution and morphological characteristics of the nanopowders was studied by X-ray diffractometry, Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, differential thermal analysis and Rietveld refinement. The results showed that the average crystallite size of ZrO₂ was less than 100 nm up to around 1100 °C. The activation energy for ZrO₂ nanocrystallite growth during calcination was calculated to be about 13,715 and 27,333 J/mol for tetragonal (t-ZrO₂) and monoclinic (m-ZrO₂) polymorphs, respectively. Mechanism of the nanocrystallite growth of the ZrO₂ polymorphs during annealing is primarily investigated.

Key words: Zirconia nanoparticles, Mechanochemical synthesis, Characterization methods, Activation energy, Phase transformation
