Key Points

The study aims to optimize the water content in ZrO₂ nanocrystals synthesized through a nonaqueous sol-gel method.
Synthesis of ZrO₂ nanocrystals using zirconium butoxide in benzyl alcohol
Utilization of solvothermal conditions
Manipulation of metal alkoxide concentrations
Trace water content significantly influences the structure of ZrO₂ nanocrystals
Optimized synthesis process leads to improved material properties.

Implication

Nonaqueous synthesis tailors ZrO₂ nanocrystals, suggesting new strategies for material properties.

Abstract

Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) nanocrystals were synthesized via a nonaqueous sol–gel (NASG) route using zirconium butoxide in benzyl alcohol under solvothermal conditions and high metal alkoxide concentrations. We demonstrate that trace...
