Comparative Study of Powders Based on the ZrO2–Y2O3–СeO2 System Obtained by Various Liquid Phase Methods of Synthesis

详细

Using the liquid-phase methods of synthesis—the coprecipitation of hydroxides and the hydrothermal method—mesoporous xerogels are obtained based on the ZrО₂–Y₂О₃–CeО₂ system with 5–8-nm particles and powders (after the heat treatment of xerogels at 600°C) with a coherent scattering region (CSR) size of 9 to 10 nm and S_sp = 96–156 m²/g. After calcination at 1400°C, the powders are transformed into tetragonal solid solutions with a CSR size of 65 nm in the synthesis by the coprecipitation method, and they are transformed into solid solutions with a CSR size of 84 nm with a high degree of tetragonality of c/a = 1.438–1.431 in the synthesis by the hydrothermal method.
