ZrO<sub>2</sub> heterophase structure nanocrystals (HSNCs) were synthesized with tunable ratios of monoclinic ZrO<sub>2</sub> (m-ZrO<sub>2</sub>) to tetragonal ZrO<sub>2</sub> (t-ZrO<sub>2</sub>). The phase mole ratio of m-ZrO<sub>2</sub> versus t-ZrO<sub>2</sub> in ZrO<sub>2</sub> HSNCs was tuned from 40% to 100%. The concentration of the surface hydroxyl groups on m-ZrO<sub>2</sub> is higher than that on t-ZrO<sub>2</sub>. ZrO<sub>2</sub> HSNCs have different surface hydroxyl groups on two cry ...[more]
