Abstract

Yttria-stabilized zirconia nanopowders were synthesized on a relatively large scale using Pechini method. In the present paper, nearly spherical yttria-stabilized zirconia nanopowders with tetragonal structure were synthesized by Pechini process from zirconium oxynitrate hexahydrate, yttrium nitrate, citric acid and ethylene glycol. The phase and structural analyses were accomplished by X-ray diffraction; morphological analysis was carried out by field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results revealed nearly spherical yttria-stabilized zirconia powder with tetragonal crystal structure and chemical purity of 99.1% by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy on a large scale.
