Abstract
This study presents a method for preparing zirconia gels using ZrOCl₂·8H₂O and liquid gallium in an anhydrous solvent system. It examines how varying gallium content and temperature affects gel formation time. Results show gallium reduces gel formation time as its concentration and temperature increase. The dry gel displayed a tetragonal phase at 400℃-700℃, with a minor monoclinic phase at 800℃. This introduces a novel, efficient gel preparation method.
