Evidence Details

Equipment evidence

The output power of the microwave hydrothermal synthesis instrument was 0-1000 W, and the temperature control range was 0-260 °C (error of ± 0.1 °C).

Equipment evidence

The prepared precursor solution was added to a reaction vessel (fill factor 40%) and the microwave hydrothermal reaction was carried out in a microwave hydrothermal synthesis instrument (XH-800G, XiangHu Technology Development Co., Beijing China).

Source evidence

The optimal parameters for preparing nano-zirconia powders with appreciable crystallinity and crystal forms included the use of PEG1000/PEG2000/PEG4000 dispersants, a microwave hydrothermal time of 30-50 min and a temperature of 200-240 °C, and a TEOA concentration of 0.3-0.5 M.
