| Abstract: | ZrO2 nanorods are prepared by annealing precursor powders produced in the novel inverse microemulsion system. The length and diameter of ZrO2 nanorods are a few micrometers and 40–100 nm, respectively. The microstructure of the resultant nanorods are studied by XRD, TEM, selected area electron diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. The ZrO2 nanorods are single crystalline and have monoclinic structure. The formation of ZrO2 nanorods is discussed. |
