A simple soft chemical method of synthesizing tetragonal yttria stabilized zirconia nanopowders is described here. Zirconium oxy-chloride octahydrate and yttrium nitrate hexahydrate were taken as a source of zirconium, citric acid was taken as a chelating agent, and ethylene glycol was used as a polysterification agent. The synthesized powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry, transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Furthermore, precise cell parameters were calculated in order to exactly determine non-transformable tetragonal crystal structure, which was the best zirconia phase for thermal barrier coatings applications. In this process, tetragonal yttria stabilized zirconia nanopowders could be prepared at a temperature of 1,000 A degrees C and the process was simple and cost-effective.
