“…1 In addition to the metastable tetragonal, monoclinic, and tetragonal zirconia and hydrated zirconia that can be applied to a catalyst material have also been reported in the literature. [32][33][34][35] In particular, we reported on the catalytic property of zirconia-supported Ag catalysts for methanol (MeOH) oxidation. 32 Based on this background, in the present work, the synthesis of zirconia by the hard template method using KIT-6 have been conducted using various preparation conditions, such as zirconium source, amount of introduced zirconia, calcination temperature, and meso-pore size of silica, and the crystal growth behavior of the synthesized zirconia have been studied.…”
