Abstract

In this study, the formation solid solutions of titanium dioxide- zirconium dioxide (TiO2-ZrO2) system with the supercritical fluid method is described. The particles of solid solutions in the TiO2-ZrO2 system are spherical and form agglomerates, they are amorphous and have a size from 90 to 850 nm. The X-ray patterns of samples calcined above the temperatures of crystallization (450 °C) and phase transition (750 °C) demonstrate the decomposition of the solid solutions above the crystallization temperature and formation of phases in accordance with phase ratios in the TiO2-ZrO2 system at these temperatures. The formation solid solutions of the starting materials are observed in all region of concentrations.
