Effect of mechanical activation of coprecipitated precursor on synthesis of La2Zr2O7

A lanthanum zirconate (La2Zr2O7, LZ) precursor has been prepared by coprecipitation of the relevant hydroxides from nitrate solution. The effect of the mechanical activation of the precursor on its thermal decomposition and LZ formation in the temperature range of 700–1100°C has been investigated. A...

Description
Summary:A lanthanum zirconate (La2Zr2O7, LZ) precursor has been prepared by coprecipitation of the relevant hydroxides from nitrate solution. The effect of the mechanical activation of the precursor on its thermal decomposition and LZ formation in the temperature range of 700–1100°C has been investigated. After mechanical activation, the precursor releases volatile components (H2O and CO2) at lower temperatures. Mechanical activation accelerates the LZ crystallisation and results in the formation of phase-pure LZ without admixtures of unreacted zirconia and lanthana. The LZ powder prepared from the mechanically activated precursor is characterised by a larger BET surface area, in comparison to that synthesised from the as-prepared precursor under the same calcination conditions.
