先后分别在含有ZrO2+的电解液和含有Ca2+、PO43-和柠檬酸根的电解液中,用电化学恒电流方法,于钛表面上制得柠檬酸根-羟基磷灰石/氧化锆过渡涂层。采用扫描电镜(SEM)、能谱仪(EDS)、X-射线衍射(XRD)、红外光谱(FTIR)和万能力学测试仪对过渡涂层进行分析,并对电沉积各个阶段的微观生长机理进行了探讨。结果表明柠檬酸根延长了HA晶体的形核孕育期,涂层由疏松的微米级菊花瓣状变化为致密的近纳米级针状(或片状),ZrO2作为过渡涂层,很好的缓解了HA与钛基热膨胀系数不匹配等缺点。拉伸试验表明,过渡涂层的结合强度较HA涂层从7.40 MPa增加到27.11 MPa。     

溶胶-凝胶涂附电纺纳米纤维制备ZrO2纳米管

Stable zirconia sol was prepared using inorganic salt(zirconia chloride octahydrate) as the precursor and H₂O₂ as the catalyst. ZrO₂-PBS coaxial nanofibers were fabricated using the sol-gel coating technique to filling poly butylenes succinate(PBS) fibers with zirconium dioxide by electrospun. ZrO₂ nanotubes were obtained via calcining ZrO₂-PBS coaxial nanofibers. The ZrO₂ nanotubes were characterized by TG, SEM and TEM, respectively. The results show that ZrO₂ nanotubes with a diameter of 50～100 nm are obtained after calcining ZrO₂-PBS coaxial nanofibers at 450 ℃.     

Kinetic study of zirconia crystallization from amorphous ZrO2-SiO2 composite precursors processed by sol-gel chemistry

Powder precursor gels with composition xZrO₂·(100–x)SiO₂, with selected values of x=8, 24, 43 and 75 mol%, were processed by sol-gel chemistry. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) was used to study crystallization in (cubic/tetragonal)-ZrO₂ during the heating of the reactive amorphous precursors. Kinetic parameters such as activation energy, Avrami's exponent and frequency factor have been simultaneously calculated from the computed DTA data using a previously reported kinetic model. The crystallization temperature decreases relative to the increase in the amount of ZrO₂, the value of the kinetic parameter of the crystallization being related to the value of x.     

The role of complexing ligands in the formation of non-aggregated nanoparticles of zirconia

The hydrolysis and condensation of zirconium n-propoxide in n-propanol have been chemically controlled via the complexation of the zirconium precursor with acetylacetone. The size of the zirconium oxide-based particles is mainly controlled by the complexation ratio x=[acac]/[Zr]. the mean size increases from nanometric to submicronic range when x decreases from 1 to 0.1. Amorphous colloidal particles are obtained at room temperature. They result from a competitive growth/termination mechanism of zirconium-oxo species in the presence of acac surface capping agents. However non-aggregated nanocrystalline particles of tetragonal zirconia, about 2 nm in diameter are formed upon aging at 60°C when hydrolysis is performed in the presence of paratoluene sulfonic acid (PTSA).

Li2ZrO3材料吸收CO2性能的进一步研究

用不同结构的ZrO₂合成了一系列在高温下吸收CO₂的Li₂ZrO₃材料，并详细的研究了反应物质的物理和化学性质对生成物吸收CO₂性能的影响。采用SEM、XRD以及TG分析法分别进行了材料结构及其吸收CO₂性能的表征，并使用XPS法测定了材料表面的元素组成。实验结果表明，使用不同结构的ZrO₂合成的Li₂ZrO₃，其吸收CO₂的性能明显的不同。用ZrO₂(t)(四方)合成的Li₂ZrO₃吸收CO₂的速度快，在500 ℃下，20% CO₂（80%空气）的气氛中保持3h，其吸收量可达25（±0.6）%（wt），而以ZrO₂(m)(单斜)为原料制备的Li₂ZrO₃在上述吸收条件下重量仅增加9（±0.6）%（wt）。此外，实验结果还表明化学元素的掺杂对用ZrO₂(m)合成的Li₂ZrO₃的CO₂吸收速度及吸收容量影响较大。     

Native and modified alumina,titania and zirconia in normal and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography

Summary Chromatographic properties of silica, alumina, titania and zirconia have been investigated in normal phase mode in the separation of test mixtures of basic, neutral and acidic compounds. In contrast to silica the chromatographic behaviour revealed the basic properties of the alumina, titania and zirconia surfaces. Therefore, separation of basic compounds on these packings seems very promising. Lypophilic packings have been synthesized by modification of titania, zirconia and alumina with organosilanes and polymers and tested for the separation of basic compounds and proteins. High hydrolytic stability of the modified packings was observed during separations with strong alkali and acidic eluents.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Sol-Gel Cu-ZrO2 and Fe-ZrO2 Catalysts

Fe-ZrO₂ and Cu-ZrO₂ xerogels were prepared by a sol-gel method. The effect of the hydrolysis catalyst during the gelation step, namely H₂SO₄ or NH₄OH, on the properties of the resulting materials was investigated by XRD, BET, TGA/DTA, TPD of ammonia, FTIR, and TPR. Fe-ZrO₂ and Cu-ZrO₂ xerogels, with sulfuric acid introduced as the hydrolysis catalyst, mainly crystallyzed in the tetragonal phase and exhibited larger surface area and acid amount than those obtained with NH₄OH. Ammonia TPD shows that copper promoted sulfated zirconia is the most acidic material. TGA and FTIR reveal that under oxidizing conditions sulfated zirconia promoted with iron and copper retains more sulfate species than unpromoted sulfated zirconia. Regardless of the hydrolysis catalyst employed, copper promoted catalysts calcined at 600°C, contain a large fraction of copper oxide specieseasily reduced at low temperatures. These copper oxide species are believed to have different environment and interactions with the surface oxygen vacancies of the zirconia support. A FeO-like phase appears to be the most probable one after reduction of Fe-ZrO₂ catalysts prepared with NH₄OH as the hydrolysis catalyst. The formation of Fe° species may be hindered by the high dispersion and interaction of Fe²⁺ ions with the zirconia support. On the other hand, the reduction peaks of iron oxide and sulfate species exhibit a considerable overlap in the TPR profiles of sulfated Fe-ZrO₂ samples. Hence, the nature of the supported phase in the latter samples is rather uncertain.     

Sol-Gel Processing of Zirconia Coating for HR Mirrors with High Laser Damage Threshold

High laser-damage resistant coatings are very important in high power laser systems. In this study ZrO₂ thin films are prepared by sol-gel spin-coating technology from suitable zirconia aqueous colloidal suspensions containing nano-crystalline ZrO₂ at room temperature synthesized by a hydrothermal process from an inorganic precursor (ZrOCl₂·8H₂O). By adding a soluble organic binder PVP to the suspension prior to application, it is possible to substantially increase the coating refractive index and the abrasion-resistance as well as the laser damage threshold. The features of the coatings and the colloidal suspensions are investigated. Multilayer highly reflective dielectric coatings are also elaborated by applying quarterwave-thick alternating coatings of the binder-aided zirconia and silica, which is prepared with the sol-gel process from TEOS. To achieve 99% reflectivity, 19–21 layers are required. Single shot laser damage tests are carried out using a high power laser at 1064 nm wavelength with a pulse duration of 2.5 ns. The laser damage thresholds of 18 and 15 J/cm² are achieved for single ZrO₂-PVP coating and ZrO₂-PVP/SiO₂ multilayers respectively.     

Structural characterization and photocatalytic activity of hollow binary ZrO2/TiO2 oxide fibers

The formation of hollow binary ZrO₂/TiO₂ oxide fibers using mixed precursor solutions was achieved by activated carbon fibers templating technique combined with solvothermal process. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N₂ adsorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-vis, and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The binary oxide system shows the anatase-type TiO₂ and tetragonal phase of ZrO₂, and the introduction of ZrO₂ notably inhibits the growth of TiO₂ nanocrystallites. Although calcined at 575 °C, all hollow ZrO₂/TiO₂ fibers exhibit higher surface areas (>113 m²/g) than pure TiO₂ hollow fibers. The Pyridine adsorption on ZrO₂/TiO₂ sample indicates the presence of stronger surface acid sites. Such properties bring about that the binary oxide system possesses higher efficiency and durable activity stability for photodegradation of gaseous ethylene and trichloromethane than P25 TiO₂. In addition, the macroscopic felt form for the resulting materials is more beneficial for practical applications than traditional catalysts forms.     

Fe3O4–SiO2 nanocomposites obtained via alkoxide and colloidal route

The magnetic nanocomposite materials represent an important class of nanomaterials extensively studied nowadays due to their varied applications from medical diagnostic to storage information. The iron oxides in silica matrix systems are highly investigated. The sol-gel method is a suitable way of preparation of Fe₃O₄-SiO₂ nanocomposite materials, since this method allowed the preparation of nanocomposite materials with narrow size distribution of magnetite in silica matrix. In the present work, nanocomposite materials in the Fe₃O₄-SiO₂ system were prepared by sol-gel method via alkoxide and aqueous route. As SiO₂ sources, tetraethoxysilan (TEOS) for the alkoxide route, as well as silica sol Ludox (30%) for the aqueous route, were used. This study shows the influence of the type of silica matrix on the structure, size, and distribution of the Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles in the Fe₃O₄-SiO₂ systems. The gels were annealed at 550°C in order to consolidate the matrices. The structural characterization of the obtained materials via the two preparation routes was performed by DTA/TGA analysis, X-ray diffraction, IR and Mössbauer spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED).     

Preparation,Characteristics, and Photocatalytic Tests of Fe-Doped TiO2 Films Prepared by a Sol-Gel Drain Coating via Homemade Devices

Anatase Fe-doped TiO₂ films, with the rang of iron to titanium (Fe(NO₃)₃ · 9H₂O:Ti(OC₄H₉)₄)) atomic ratios (R _Fe/Ti ) from nominal 0 to 20%, are prepared by a sol-gel drain coating via homemade devices, and the hydrolysis reaction to derive sol is suppressed by adding an new agglomerating agent acetylacetic ether (EAcAc) to the system. The films are characterized by using thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), x-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet (UV)–visible absorbance spectra (UV–vis), and scanning electron microscope (SEM), together with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Furthermore, the photocatalytic activities are measured by photodegrading rhodamine B (RhB) in a cylindrical Pyrex reactor, the experimental details demonstrate that the Fe-doped TiO₂ films (R _Fe/Ti  = 3.0%) show the most excellent photocatalytic perfomances, which is good accordance with UV-vis spectra.

Preparation of ZrO2-TiO2-CeO2 and Its Application in the Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO with NH3

TiO₂,ZrO₂-TiO₂,andZrO₂-TiO₂-CeO₂ were prepared by co-precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), specific surface area measurements (BET), temperature programmed desorption (NH₃-TPD), oxygen storage capacity (OSC), and temperature programmed reduction (H₂-TPR). The results showed that ZrO₂-TiO₂-CeO₂ exhibited large number of surface strong acid, possessed some oxygen storage capacity, and strong redox property. The three materials were used as supports and the monolith catalysts were prepared with 1% (w) V₂O₅ and 9% (w)WO₃ for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with ammonia in the presence of excessive O₂, and the results of catalytic activity showed that the catalyst used ZrO₂-TiO₂-CeO₂ as support yielded nearly 100% NO conversion at 275 °C at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 10000 h⁻¹, and it had the best catalytic activity and showed great potential for practical application.     

Lanthanum zirconate nanoparticles and ceramics produced using a nitrate-modified alkoxide synthesis route

Fine lanthanum zirconate powder was prepared by thermally decomposing a nitrate-alkoxide-based precursor derived from dehydrated lanthanum nitrate, zirconium n-butoxide and 2-methoxyethanol. Upon heating, the decomposition of the organic groups was promoted by the nitrate groups, yielding a porous powder that crystallized into a pyrochlore phase at 800 °C. The powder that was heat treated at 900 °C for 1 h was composed of friable agglomerates of approximately 60-nm-sized nanoparticles. The ceramics obtained from the powder heat treated at 900 °C and milled for 30 min reached a relative density of 97.9 % after sintering at 1,400 °C for 10 h, which is at least 100 °C lower than the typically reported temperatures for this material.     

Formation of Superhydrophobic Alumina Coating Films with High Transparency on Polymer Substrates by the Sol-Gel Method

Transparent, superhydrophobic coating films have been prepared on polymer substrates at low temperatures through the sol-gel method. Al₂O₃ gel films were prepared on poly(ethylene terephthalate) substrates from Al(O-sec-C₄H₉)₃ chemically modified with ethyl acetoacetate. A small roughness of about 20–50 nm was found to form on the surface of the Al₂O₃ gel films dried at room temperature and then immersed in hot water at 60°C. The electron diffraction measurements have shown that this roughened surface consists of pseudoboehmite nanocrystals. The coating of hydrolyzed fluoroalkyltrimethoxysilane on the Al₂O₃ gel films with the small roughness produced transparent, superhydrophobic films with contact angle for water larger than 150°.     

Effects of UV-irradiation on the formation of oxide thin films from chemically modified metal-alkoxides

The effects of UV-irradiation on the properties of ZrO₂ and TiO₂ gel films prepared from corresponding metal-butoxides modified with acetylacetone (AcAc) or benzoylacetone (BzAc) have been studied. It was found that the chelate bonds of -diketones remaining in the gel films were dissociated by the UV-irradiation. The UV-irradiation also changed the properties of the gel films such as solubility; the solubility in acidic solutions was decreased for ZrO₂ gel films modified with AcAc and TiO₂ gel films modified with BzAc became insoluble in alcohol. Based on these findings, a new fine-patterning process has been established, which enables us to make fine-patterns of ZrO₂ and TiO₂ films on a variety of substrates.     

Effect of Zirconia Precursor on the Properties of ZrO2-SiO2 Sol-Gel Oxides

Sol-gel zirconia-silica oxides were synthesized with two zirconium precursors, zirconium n-butoxide and zirconium acetylacetonate, and two different hydrolysis catalysts, HCl and H₂SO₄. The samples prepared with HCl were additionally sulfated with a 1 M solution of H₂SO₄. Characterization was performed with FTIR and ²⁹Si-MAS-NMR spectroscopy, as well as with nitrogen adsorption. Because zirconium and silicon alkoxides have different hydrolysis rates, it was necessary to perform a pre-hydrolysis of the silicon alkoxide before mixing. The atom distribution in the ZrO₂-SiO₂ system depended on the zirconium precursor, which also determined the zirconium incorporation in the silica lattice, which was greater for zirconium acetylacetonate. The zirconium precursor also was responsible for the silanol concentration, which increases when samples were sulfated. Sulfating stabilizes the specific surface area. On sulfate samples calcined at 800°C BET areas larger than 500 m²/g were obtained.     

Monolayer oxide catalysts from alkoxide precursors, part IV. Vanadia, titania and stibia on SiO2, SnO2, and TiO2 in 2-propanol oxidation

Vanadia monolayer catalysts supported on SnO₂, ZrO₂, TiO₂, and SiO₂, similarly as titania and stibia monolayers deposited on SiO₂, have been synthesized by reacting the corresponding metal alkoxides with hydroxyls on the carrier surfaces. The metal ions loads in monolayer systems were determined. The catalysts activity was tested in 2-propanol transformations. The nature of carrier has a strong influence on the dehydrating to dehydrogenating activity ratio of vanadia monolayer.
