Zirconia nanoceramics are interesting materials for numerous high-temperature applications. Because their beneficial properties are mainly governed by the crystal and microstructure, it is essential to understand and control these features. The use of co-stabilizing agents in the sol-gel synthesis of zirconia submicro-particles should provide an effective tool for adjusting the particles’ size and shape. Furthermore, alumina-doping is expected to enhance the particles’ size and shape persistence at high temperatures, similar to what is observed in corresponding bulk ceramics. Dispersed alumina should inhibit grain growth by forming diffusion barriers, additionally impeding the martensitic phase transformation in zirconia grains. Here, alumina-doped zirconia particles with sphere-like shape and average diameters of ∼ 300 n m were synthesized using a modified sol-gel route employing icosanoic acid and hydroxypropyl cellulose as stabilizing agents. The particles were annealed at temperatures between 800 and 1200 ∘ C and characterized by electron microscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction. Complementary elemental analyses confirmed the precise control over the alumina content (0–50 mol%) in the final product. Annealed alumina-doped particles showed more pronounced shape persistence after annealing at 1000 ∘ C than undoped particles. Quantitative phase analyses revealed an increased stabilization of the tetragonal/cubic zirconia phase and a reduced grain growth with increasing alumina content. Elemental mapping indicated pronounced alumina segregation near the grain boundaries during annealing.

AbstractThis paper presents a study of heating-induced size and shape change for pre-synthesized composite nanoparticles of ∼2 nm gold cores encapsulated with alkanethiolate monolayers. The results have demonstrated an evolution in size and shape of the nanoparticles towards monodispersed larger core sizes with well-defined and highly-faceted morphologies. The evolved particles were encapsulated with the thiolate shells. The morphological and structural evolutions were characterized using TEM, XRD, UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopy. While temperature-driven crystal growth is known for non-encapsulated particles, the evolution of the thiolate-encapsulated nanoparticles in solutions into well-defined morphologies represents an intriguing example of temperature manipulations of nanoparticle monodispersity and shape.
