“…1,2 In particular, by virtue of its high mechanical properties, outstanding corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, good biocompatibility, and non-toxic to the human body, 3,4 ZrO 2 -based material has been widely used as decorative materials, grinding media, refractory materials, electronic components and biological materials. [5][6][7][8][9] Depending on the temperature, at atmospheric pressure, pure ZrO 2 exists in three crystallographic forms: monoclinic (m-ZrO 2 ) at ambient conditions and tetragonal (t-ZrO 2 ) and cubic (c-ZrO 2 ) at higher temperatures. 10 It is stable in the m-ZrO 2 phase from room temperature and up to 1170 • C. Between this temperature and 2370 • C, t-ZrO 2 is formed, while c-ZrO 2 is formed above 2370 • C up to the melting point of 2680 • C. 11,12 By adding a certain amount of stabilizing oxides such as yttrium oxide (Y 2 O 3 ), cerium oxide (CeO 2 ), or calcium oxide (CaO), the higher temperature phases can be stabilized at room temperature, [13][14][15] with Y 2 O 3 being the most commonly used.…”
