Abstract

Alumina-zirconia powder (AZ) was prepared by thermal decomposition of organic precursors synthesized from ethyl acetoacetate aluminium diisopropoxide and zirconium tetra-n-butoxide. The specific surface area of AZ was higher than that of alumina-zirconia powder (ALK) prepared from aluminium tri-sec-butoxide and zirconium tetra-n-butoxide in the range of 0-40 mol% ZrO2. The pore radius for AZ containing 0-40 mol% ZrO2 distributed from 1 to 3 nm. The true density of AZ was lower than that of ALK in the range of 0-40 mol% ZrO2. Four- and 6-coordinated Al atoms existed in ZrO2-free AZ, while 5-coordinated Al atoms in addition to 4- and 6-coordinated Al atoms existed in AZ containing 20-80 mol% ZrO2. These results indicate that alumina component and zirconia component in AZ were mixed homogeneously at the atomic level.
