Preparation of Tube-Like ZrO2/NaCl by Microemulsion Method

On the basis of w/o microemulsion and surfactant template‐assembly technology, tube‐like ZrO2/NaCl was prepared using sodium bicarbonate as precipitant. The w/o microemulsion consisted of a nonionic surfactant OP emulsifier, cosurfactant pentanol and oil hexamethylene alkyl. The morphology, structure, and optical properties of the tube‐like ZrO2/NaCl have been studied by SEM, XRD, FTIR, UV‐vis, and PL techniques. Tube‐like ZrO2/NaCl was prepared on the basis of w/o microemulsion and surfactant template‐assembly technology. The UV spectrum shows an absorption peak at 215 nm and the PL emission peaks exhibit a maximum at 468nm, a shoulder about 484nm.
