Transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, X-ray diffraction（XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectrometer（XPS）, Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）, and thermogravimetric analysis（TGA） were adopted to characterize and investigate the size, structure, composition, and the binding manners between organic capping agent TOPO and inorganic ZrO2 nanocores of the as-prepared nanoparticles. In addition, the nanoparticles were also studied to determine their solubility and relative stability. The experimental results show that the prepared nanoparticles contain about 25% organic capping shell TOPO, 75% inorganic ZrO2 nanocores, and can be easily dissolved and be stably disersed in non-polar organic solvents.展开更多

A series of techniques, including X-ray diffraction（XRD）, thermogravimetry（TG）, differential scanning calorimetry（DSC）, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FTIR）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, and N_2-sorption analysis, were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the asprepared samples. XRD studies indicate that the as-synthesized sample is of well crystallized tetragonal phase of CeO_2 stabilized ZrO_2 with high purity. TEM images show that the as-synthesized sample is composed of a large number of fine dispersive nanoparticles with an average size about 10 nm. The as-synthesized tetragonal CeO_2 stabilized ZrO_2 sample was heated at different temperatures in order to evaluate its thermal stability. The exprimental results reveal that the as-synthesized tetragonal CeO_2 stabilized ZrO_2 sample exhibits excellent stability without the occurrence of phase transformation.展开更多
