Influence of precursors and mineralizers on phase formation in ZrO₂ nanoparticles synthesized by the hydrothermal method.

ABSTRACT: In this study, ZrO₂ nanoparticles were synthesized by the hydrothermal method using different precursors and mineralizers. X-ray diffraction revealed that the choice of synthesis components has a significant impact on the phase composition and crystallinity of the resulting ZrO₂ nanoparticles. Raman spectroscopy indicated that varying the combinations of precursors and mineralizers enables the formation of both cubic and tetragonal phases of ZrO₂ within the samples. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the particle size ranges from 4 to 14 nm, with crystalline samples predominantly containing particles in the 5-6 nm range. In amorphous samples, nuclei with sizes between 5 and 10 nm were observed. TGA analysis demonstrated that all samples contain a
