Abstract
The method for synthesis of zirconium oxide nanopowder in low-pressure arc plasma was developed. The physicochemical properties of the nanopowder were studied. The estimation was carried out by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The sequence and kinetics of structural transformations occurring in the specified time-temperature heating regimes have been examined using differential thermal analysis. It was shown that the particles have a nanometer size, a narrow particle size distribution and an amorphous-crystalline structure. The maximum specific surface area detected by the method of sorption of surfactants was 470 m2/g. The issues of crystallization were discussed. From comparison between the results of experimental studies from earlier works with the results obtained for zirconium oxide, it is concluded that the proposed method for producing NPs in a low-pressure arc discharge plasma is universal.
