Article Preview

Abstract:

Using polyethylene oxide (PEO) as template, the new types of mesoporous phosphate compound which belongs to NaZr2(PO4)3(NZP) family were synthesized by copreciptate, sol-gel and mechanochemical activation(MA) route respectively. The physical phase and pore structure of the synthesized powder materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and N2 adsorption–desorption. The results showed that the crystalline NZP family compound with mesoporous structure is formed by sol-gel route followed with calcination as well as MA method followed with hydrothermal treatment when the mole ratio of PEO to Zr is 1:10, and the specific surface area, average pore diameter and pore volume of the synthesized powder is 20-50m2/g, 3-6.nm and 0.05-0.12cm3/g respectively. The above research results indicate that it is promising to expand the application field of the powder of NZP family from low thermal expansion ceramics to catalytic materials.
