Solvothermal synthesis of zirconia nanomaterials: Latest developments and future

Exploring Double Luminescence in Bi3+-Doped Cs2ZrCl6 Perovskite Crystals: Insight into Multiexcitonic Emission Processes for Optoelectronic Applications

“…The crystal structure of Cs 2 ZrCl 6 may exhibit anisotropy, with some planes growing faster than others. 51 Factors like diffusion rates, nucleation kinetics, and solvent interactions can influence growth rates in different directions. Additives or impurities in the reaction mixture can also impact crystal growth, resulting in anisotropic growth.…”

Continuous Flow Synthesis of Yttria‐Stabilized‐Zirconia Nanocrystals in Supercritical Solvothermal Conditions

“…A wide range of synthesis methods for the production of zirconia nanoparticles have been explored and reported, [6] among the synthesis routes that target the production of pure and tetragonal metastable zirconia nanoparticles (i.e., chemical vapor deposition, combustion methods, sol-gel, coprecipitation and solvothermal), sol-gel and solvothermal methods present great advantages in terms of control over the particle size and distribution, purity and composition homogeneity. [7] For instance, the synthesis of undoped metastable tetragonal ZrO 2 polymorph associated with a fine control over the nanoparticle size and size distribution is particularly attractive for optimizing the mechanical properties if these powders are later sintered into dense and nanostructured ceramics at relatively low temperatures (below that of t-m transformation). [8] Given that the tetragonal phase is not thermodynamically stable at room temperature, several influencing factors are considered to provide explanations for this meta-stabilization, including the nature and concentration of the precursors, the types of solvents, the use of dopants, the surface chemistry (use of surfactants), the nanocrystal sizes, the role of hydroxyls and oxygen vacancies, the contributions of surface energy and the lattice strain.…”
