Abstract

Stabilization of zirconia by anion exchange (N for O) is a novel idea. A number of oxy-nitrides with flourite-related (cubic) structure have been reported to form at high temperatures (1100°C). We have used a TEM equipped with environmental cell and Gatan Imaging Filter (GIF) to study the nitridation behavior of zirconia. The in situ observations reveal the formation of a cubic structure at ≈800°C when the Zr(OH) 4×H2O precursor was heated in ≈2 torr of NH3. The presence of N in the lattice is confirmed by electron energyloss spectroscopy.
