Background
Zirconia-based ceramics are common ceramic materials with good application performance in daily life, and have been widely applied to the fields of electronic information, articles for daily use, biological medicine and the like. But with the expansion of the application field and the improvement of performance indexes, the requirement on the performance of the zirconia is higher and higher. The performance of zirconia ceramic powder is the fundamental factor for determining the zirconia ceramic products obtained by processing in the future, so in order to obtain high-performance zirconia ceramic products, zirconia ceramic powder products with excellent performance are prepared, and zirconia-based ceramic powder materials have become the key point of research in the material field. For example, the mechanical property and the thermal sintering property can be improved by doping some elements. The purity, particle size, surface property, shape and other characteristics of the zirconia ceramic powder directly determine the yield and subsequent use performance of the ceramic device in the processing process of the ceramic device. Therefore, the preparation of the high-quality zirconia nano ceramic powder is the current research hotspot and technical difficulty. However, the ceramic powder particles prepared by the conventional preparation method are often large, and even if the particle size can reach the nanometer level, the product is always seriously agglomerated or the crystal phase is impure after drying treatment, so that the development and application of the zirconia ceramic material are greatly limited. The preparation of high-quality nano-grade zirconia ceramic powder and the structure control thereof are key technical problems for determining the application of zirconia ceramic.
