Abstract

Nd2Zr2O7 microbelts were successfully prepared by simple electrospinning paired with calcination. The composition, microstructure, and structure of the as-prepared Nd2Zr2O7 microbelts were systematically characterized through a combination of characterisations, such as XRD, SEM, TEM, FT-IR, and TG-DSC techniques. Results indicated that the as-prepared Nd2Zr2O7 microbelts had a pyrochlore-type crystal structure and uniform size with about 10 μm thickness. Moreover, a feasible formation mechanism of the Nd2Zr2O7 microbelts was discussed. The present procedure can be expanded to develop other rare-earth zirconate materials with belt structure.
