Abstract
Ultrafine tetragonal ZrO2 powder was prepared by hydrothermal treatment at 100 MPa of amorphous hydrous zirconia with distilled water and LiCl and KBr solutions. The resulting powder consisted of well-crystallized particles; at 200°C, the particle size was 16 nm and at 500°C, 30 nm. Under hydrothermal conditions tetragonal ZrO2 appears to crystallize topotactically on nuclei in the amorphous hydrous zirconia.
