Abstract

The nanocrystalline zirconia powder with anisotropic shapes was synthesized by hydrothermal treatment of the tetragonal zirconia prepared by aging the zirconium hydroxide precipitate, which was obtained from the reaction between $ZrOCl_2{\cdot}8H_2O$ and KOH solutions under the fixed pH of 13.5, at $100^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. With increasing the hydrothermal reaction temperature and time, the fraction of tetragonal phase with spherical zirconia decreased, whereas, relatively the fraction of monoclinic phase with spindle-like and rod shape zirconia increased. As increased concentration of the NaOH solution it promoted the particle size to become larger and the crystalline phase to transform tetragonal to monoclinic. However, the specific surface area at the early stage of the reaction increased and subsequently decreased because of grain growth in powder with longer reaction time.

$ZrOCl_2{\cdot}8H_2O$ 수용액과 KOH 수용액의 반응으로부터 얻은 침전물을 $100^{\circ}C$에서 24 시간 동안 숙성시켜 정방정상 지르코니아를 제조한 후 수열합성 조건을 변화시킴으로써 비등방성 형상의 나노 결정형 지르코니아 분말을 합성하였다. 수열합성 시 반응온도와 반응시간이 증가할수록 정방정상인 구형 입자는 감소하고 상대적으로 단사정상 spindle-like 입자와 막대상 입자가 증가하였다. NaOH 용액의 농도가 증가함에 따라 입성장과 함께 정방정상에서 단사정상으로의 상전이가 촉진되었으며, 저온에서 반응시간이 짧은 경우 합성한 분말들은 반응초기에 응집된 입자들이 NaOH 용액에 부분적으로 용해되면서 응집입자 및 결정입자 크기가 감소되어 비표면적이 증가하였다가 반응시간이 길어지고 반응온도가 높아짐에 따라 입성장에 의하여 점차 비표면적이 감소하였다.
