Abstract

Styrene-doped ZrLaO_y nanostructures were obtained by sol–gel method low-temperature synthesis. The nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The observation using SEM and TEM revealed that the ring-shaped nanostructures were very uniform. Further characterization using XRD disclosed that the cohesion of the samples was controllable with annealing temperatures in the range of 800–1500°C. Cohesion property was investigated for the samples. The cohesion increased when increasing the annealing temperature. This was linked to the reinforcement of the oxygen bound on the ZrLaO_y nanostructures The shape of nanostructures showed a transformation from a ring-shaped growth mode to a hole-surfaced growth mode with increasing annealing temperature. The styrene-doped ZrLaO_y nanostructures with controllable crystallinity will have great potential for various applications in fuel, cells, batteries, electronics devices and chemical sensors.
