Phosphorized zirconium oxide nanoparticles

Abstract

In this work a simple method to phosphorize the surface of nanometric particles of crystalline zirconia is described. The reaction rate of phosphorization was regulated by adding acetic acid and the observed particle size was in the range 40-60 nm. A proton conductivity of the order of 10 −3 S cm −1 was measured for phosphorized nanoparticle powder mixed with micro-fine teflon powder (3 : 1) at room temperature. Phosphorized nanoparticles are stable when dispersed in acetic acid and are suitable for composite material preparation.

Synthesis of Monoclinic and Cubic ZrO2 Nanoparticles from Zircon

“…It is suitable for powder phosphorization and is used to produce proton‐conductive zirconium phosphate particles. Phosphorized zirconium oxide nanoparticles are used for the preparation of composite polymer membranes 23 . Nanocrystalline ZrO 2 ceramics, with an average grain size of <100 nm, has attracted more attention due to its exotic properties such as sintering ability, mechanical toughness, and superplastic behavior 24 .…”

Research on synthesis and conductivity of ferrocenyl Schiff base and its salt

“…Potential applications of these complexes in semiconductivity, 1 nonlinear optics 2 and cooperative magnetics 3 have spurred research in this area. Many ferroconductive molecular materials have been synthesized and studied, for example, ferrocene-TCNQ, 4 ferrocene-silane, 5 ferrocene-alkene, 6 ferrocene-azo 7 and ferrocene-thiophene.…”
