Dispersion control via crystal-phase modulation of yttrium-doped ZrO2 nanoparticle sol

Amino Acid‐Mediated Formation of Zirconia Nanoparticles and their Transparent Dispersions

“…[30] Alternatively, the development of hydrothermal treatments at acidic pH has led to the formation of aqueous ZrO 2 nanodispersions with improved optical features. [31] Nevertheless, the development of a versatile and one-pot hydrothermal process in which stable and transparent sols can be achieved is still lacking. With all the above, the development of a scalable colloidal processing methodology allowing a tight control of size and shape together with a versatile modification of the chemical composition and hence crystalline structure of the final objects is an important asset toward their implementation at the industrial scale.…”
