Abstract
This study provides insights into the phase transformations of In2O3-ZrO2 system under varying thermal and chemical conditions and the crystallization behavior of amorphous precursors containing 10-30 mol% In2O3, synthesized via the coprecipitation of oxides from chloride solutions. When subjected to molten sodium nitrate at 500 °C, a cubic solid solution of Zr1 - xInxO2 - 0.5x is obtained. Conversely, exposure to molten sodium sulfate at 1000 °C results in the formation of the mixture consisting of In2O3 and monoclinic ZrO2, with no evidence of intermediate phases including any ordered fluorite-like structures.
