Abstract

Zirconia nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal process, and experimental parameters such as reaction temperature, reaction time, kind and concentration of precipitator, kind of precursor were varied. Particle sizes and crystalline phases of each synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed with X-ray diffraction and FE-scanning electron microscope (SEM). The particle size and crystallization of zirconia increased with increasing concentration of precipitator. The growth rate of particle sizes when NaOH as a precipitator was used also increased more than that of KOH. Therefore, the use of KOH rather than NaOH was more effective in the control of particle sizes. An amorphous zirconia nanoparticle was found in 4 h of hydrothermal reaction, but the monoclinic zirconia nanoparticle was found in 8 h and over of hydrothermal reaction, and the width of nanoparticles was slightly slimmed and the length of nanoparticles was slightly extended with increasing reaction time. The smallest particle size was produced at the same synthesis condition when zirconium chloride among the precursors such as zirconium (IV) acetate, zirconium nitrate and zirconium chloride was used.

지르코니아 나노분말을 수열합성법으로 제조하였으며, 반응온도, 반응시간, 침전제의 종류 및 농도, 전구체의 종류를 실험 변수로 하였고, 각각의 제조된 분말을 X-선 회절(XRD)과 주사전자현미경(FE-SEM)을 통해 입자크기 및 결정상을 측정하였다. 침전제의 농도 증가에 따라 지르코니아 입자크기가 증가하였으며, 입자의 결정화도도 높아졌고, KOH 보다 NaOH 침전제를 사용하였을 경우, 입자 성장 속도가 증가하였다. 이는 입자의 크기 컨트롤에 있어 NaOH를 사용하는 경우보다 KOH를 사용하는 것이 더 효과적이었다. 4 h의 수열반응시간에서는 4 h의 수열반응시간에서는 비정질의 지르코니아 입자가 발견되었지만, 8 h 이상 합성 시, 단사정상의 지르코니아 입자가 생성됨을 확인하였고, 반응시간이 길어짐에 따라 지르코니아 입자의 폭이 소폭으로 줄어들고, 길이는 소폭 늘어남을 확인하였다. 동일한 합성 조건에서 전구체로서 zirconium (IV) acetate, zirconium nitrate, zirconium chloride 중에서 zirconium chloride를 사용하여 합성하였을 경우, 입자의 크기가 가장 작게 형성되었다.
