| Abstract: | A kind of negative thermal expansion ZrW2O8 nanorods were synthesized using a hydrothermal method, followed with a post-annealing at 570 °C for 2 h. Effects of HCl concentration on the microstructure, morphology and negative thermal expansion property in resulting ZrW2O8 powders were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Results indicate that the formation of the precursor ZrW2O7(OH)2(H2O)2 significantly depends on the HCl concentration, and the precursors ZrW2O7(OH)2(H2O)2 can form in the 2-8 mol/L HCl solution. With increasing the concentration of the HCl solutions from 2 to 8 mol/L, the rod-like ZrW2O8 particles become more homogeneous, and the average dimension change from 10 μm × 0.5 μm to 700 nm × 50 nm. All the ZrW2O8 powders obtained in different conditions exhibit negative thermal expansion property, and the average negative thermal expansion coefficients from 15 °C to 600 °C decrease gradually with the increasing HCl concentration. |
