研究目的
To synthesize a zirconia precursor with plate-like nanostructure using an ionic liquid-mediated method and investigate its transformation to monoclinic ZrO2 nanostructures through annealing.
研究成果
The study successfully synthesized a plate-like zirconia precursor using an ionic liquid-mediated hydrolysis method, which was characterized as ZrF2(OH)xOy. Annealing above 400°C transformed it into monoclinic ZrO2 while maintaining the nanoplate morphology, with increasing porosity at higher temperatures. This approach offers a green synthesis route for nanostructured zirconia materials.
研究不足
The PXRD pattern of the zirconia precursor could not be assigned to any known JCPDS pattern, indicating incomplete characterization. The precursor contains trace contaminants (carbon and nitrogen), and the formation mechanism may differ from previous studies. Annealing at lower temperatures (e.g., 400°C) did not fully pyrolyze the precursor, requiring higher temperatures for pure monoclinic ZrO2.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The synthesis involved hydrolyzing [BMIM]?{[Zr(OH)5]–}? under strong acidic conditions to form a zirconia precursor, followed by annealing at various temperatures to produce monoclinic ZrO2 nanostructures. Characterization techniques included PXRD, TG-DSC, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, elemental analysis, ICP, EDX, SEM, TEM, and HRTEM.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Zirconium(IV) propoxide (70% in PrOH) and [BMIM][BF4] ionic liquid were used as starting materials. Samples were prepared by refluxing in ethanol and HCl solution, with precipitation using acetone.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a 100 ml single-neck round flask, magnetic stirrer, reflux apparatus, centrifuge, and analytical instruments (PXRD, TG-DSC, FTIR, Raman spectrometer, elemental analyzer, ICP, EDX, SEM, TEM, HRTEM). Materials included Zr(OPr)4, [BMIM][BF4], ethanol, HCl (1 M), acetone.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Zr(OPr)4 was added to [BMIM][BF4] in ethanol, stirred and refluxed to form a precipitate. HCl was added, and the mixture was refluxed again. Acetone was added to precipitate the precursor, which was centrifuged, washed, and dried. Annealing was performed at 400°C, 600°C, 800°C, and 1000°C for specified durations.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data from PXRD, TG-DSC, FTIR, Raman, elemental analysis, ICP, and EDX were analyzed to characterize the composition, structure, and thermal behavior of the samples. SEM and TEM images were used to observe morphology.
