Abstract
Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) nanocrystals were prepared by the microwave-assisted ionic liquid method using an ionic liquid of 1-n-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM]BF4). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns indicated that the crystal structure was monoclinic. The morphology of ZrO2 nanocrystals was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transimission electron microscopy (TEM), which showed uniform ZrO2 nanoparticles without aggregation. Thermogravimetry (TG) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) curves confirmed the adsorption of organic compounds on the surface of ZrO2.
