Abstract

Dibutoxybis (acetylacetonato) zirconium, a difunctional zirconium alkoxide, was polymerized at 130 °C for 5 h in vacuo to produce oligomers that could be pyrolyzed to form a tetragonal zirconia (t-ZrO2), metastable at room temperature. This metastable phase was retained considerably below the equilibrium transformation temperature (∼1200 °C) without the use of dopants. Comparative pyrolysis of the oligomers between 600 and 900 °C in either flowing O2 or N2 for processing times under 12 h indicated t-ZrO2 nucleated first. Pyrolysis in oxygen facilitated transformation to the monoclinic symmetry, whereas pyrolysis in nitrogen demonstrated retention of the tetragonal phase. The formation of oxygen vacancies during pyrolysis, their role in stabilizing the metastable tetragonal phase, and contributions of O2 and crystallite size in the polymorphic transformation are discussed.
