Behavior of oxide films of zirconium and antimony in mixed solvents

Zirconium dioxide has exceptional fracture toughness and chemical resistance these properties make this oxide used as a thermal barrier coating a common diamond substitute a refractory material in grinding wheels and sandpaper in laboratory crucibles and in metallurgical furnaces. Antimony oxides were found to exhibit some promising properties as catalysts for oxygen evolution reactions thin film capacitors photoconductor and proton conductor for preparation of WO3 type electrochromic display device. Therefore the study of the effects of mixed solvents of formation on these oxide films properties and on their dissolution kinetics services the modern industries. .
