摘 要：Nanocrystalline zirconia（Zr O2） powders were prepared by a sol e gel process followed by annealing treatments from 500 to 1200 C. Phase transformation, microstructural features and photoluminescence properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission election microscopy and photoluminescence spectra,respectively. The results show that both monoclinic phase and tetragonal phase exist in the nanocrystalline Zr O2 powders at annealing temperature in the range of 500e900 C, and the concentration of monoclinic phase increases with increasing the annealing temperature. Tetragonal phase is totally transformed to monoclinic phase when annealing temperature is up to 900 C. The average grain size of the powders also increases when annealing temperature increases. Two emission peaks centered at 390 nm（named as I390）and 470 nm（named as I470） exist in the photoluminescence spectra, and the intensity ratio of I390 to I470decreases with increasing annealing temperature. The grain size is proposed to be responsible for the phase transformation in the nanocrystalline Zr O2 powders.
