I have tried with Zirconium(IV) propoxide solution but I was getting large size of particles or may be agglomeration I am not sure. I checked the size of particles by Hegman gauge. If anyone having related knowledge, kindly share you experience.
Thanks in advance.
Does Hegman gauge is calibrated or not ???
Kindly check your nanoparticles e- microscopy like SEM or XRD images. Which gives you actual size of your nano particle.
Dear Anita ,
Zr nanoparticales u can prepare by Sol gel method its a very simple method and for precipitation wait for some time and and after precipitated u have to dry at a high temp around 600 for one day and u can control the particle using NaOH and u will definitely get fine nano particles.
First find the average size of the particles using XRD and then make the conclusion. However, you can use low temperature co-precipitation technique.
Thank you very much Ramveer, Manish and Arabinda Nayak for your reply. Extremely sorry for getting back after so long.
To Ramveer yes Hegmen gauge was calibrated and particle size was really high.
To Manish, can you please share with me the more knowledge or may be can you please share the procedure or link.
To Arabinda, sure I will definitely try with XRD.
Manish Yadav & Arabinda Nayak gave the concise and key concepts, don't ignore the role of NaOH and temperature, you should optimize the conditions for best results and surely follow their suggestions regarding right instrumentation.
Yes sure Anita
Sorry for late response I was busy , I will send u procedure first tell me what source of Zr u have
