Binary ZrO2-SiO2 xerogels: Synthesis and properties

Abstract

Binary systems of silica and zirconia xerogels have been prepared by hydrolysis of zirconium(IV) oxychloride in the silica gel matrix. Systems of various composition have been studied by 1H NMR, IR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetry and have been tested in a model process of hydrogen peroxide decomposition. It has been shown that the physicochemical properties of binary oxide systems can be tailored by varying the component ratio.
