Abstract−In this study, transparent yttria stabilized zirconia(YSZ)-gel and ZrO2-gel were prepared by the alkoxide-acetyl- acetone chelation method of Zirconium-n-propoxide. Transparent ZrO2-gel could be prepared through 1 hour reaction and three hours aging in the condition of 0.4*[Acac]/[Zr-n-p]=R*0.6. The gelation time was increased with increasing the molar ratio R. The molar ratio R had an important effect upon the inner structures of gel and the crystallization process. YSZ-gel of the four kinds of composition was prepared in the condition of [Acac]/[Zr-n-p] = 0.5. Crystallization behavior of these gels depended upon the concentration of Y2O3. All samples dried at 60oC for 24 hr were amorphous by XRD analysis, and the first crystalline phase obtained beyond 450oC from the dried samples was the cubic one. The 2.5YSZ and 4.5YSZ samples passed through the cubic phase were transformed into the tetragonal phase was at arround 600oC and 1,000oC, respectively. For 6.5YSZ and 8.5YSZ, cubic structure was developed continuously without transformation of crystal structure by 1,000oC. An exothermic peak around 450oC on DTA analysis associated with the crystallization to cubic phase and the formation of ZrOCO3(lat- tice), H2O, and CO2. The third exotherm (about 850oC) during the calcination was attributed to the liberation of CO32−. Key words: ZrO2-Y2O3 Gel, Sol-Gel Process, Metal Alkoxide, Chemical Modification
