Abstract:
The precursor was prepared using P123 as porogen, ZrOCl as zirconium source and ethanol as solvent, then assembled into nano-channels of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates by vacuuming and pressure-induced technology. After heat treatment, one-dimensional ZrO2 nanomaterials with mesoporous structure were fabricated within the nano-holes of AAO templates. The obtained samples were characterized in detail by SEM, TEM, XRD, EDS and N2 sorption and desorption. The results show that the synthesized ZrO2 nanowires were 60 nm in diameter, 121.6 m2·g-1 in specific surface area, had a homogeneously distributed mesoporous structure with pore diameter of 8 nm, and owned good photoluminescence property.
