Article Synopsis
- Researchers successfully created a monolithic macroporous zirconia (ZrO) using a specific sol-gel method that involves epoxide, propylene oxide (PO), and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) to control gelation and phase separation.
- By optimizing the starting materials, they achieved a zirconia monolith with a high porosity of 52.9% and a BET surface area of 171.9 m²/g.
- After treating the dried gel under solvothermal conditions with ammonia in ethanol, the structure was improved, yielding tetragonal ZrO with enhanced surface area of 583.8 m²/g while maintaining its macroporous characteristics.
