Abstract

Synthesis of zirconium oxide nanoparticles have been carried out in presence of Sapindus mukorossi (Soapnut) as surfactant and characterization of the synthesized nanoparticles have been carried out using analytical techniques as XRD, Magnetic studies and TEM. Synthesized zirconium Oxide was ZrO2. The structure of the ZrO2 was monoclinic Magnetic susceptibility measurements showed that there were no unpaired electrons in ZrO2. Hence ZrO2 is diamagnetic in nature. Exact size of the zirconium oxide were find out using TEM. Size of the oxide was from 13nm - 26nm.
