| Abstract | A simple thermal decomposition route has been developed to prepare single-phase cubic ZrO2 nanospheres by [Zr(sal)(3)(H2O)(2)](NO3) as the new precursor. The ZrO2 nanocrystals have been prepared by bis-aqua, tris-salicylaldehydato zirconium(IV) nitrate; [Zr(sal)(3)(H2O)(2)](NO3), as precursor in oleylamine (C18H37N) and triphenylphosphine (C18H15P). To control the particle size, combination of C18H37N and C18H15P were applied as surfactants. The C18H37N and C18H15P play an important role in preventing aggregation of ZrO2 nanocrystals. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to depict the phase and morphology. The FT-IR spectrum showed the purity of obtained ZrO2 nanocrystals with cubic phase. |
