Abstract
Acid-base properties of the surface of zirconia and zirconia modified with yttria are studied by diffuse-reflectance IR spectroscopy. Yttriu m cations supported on the ZrO2 surface by impregnation are shown to m igrate in the bulk. As a result, the tetragonal modification of zircon ia is formed in the subsurface layer. The concentration of Lewis acid sites on the surface of the modified ZrO2 system declines with increas ing yttria content. Simultaneously, electron-donor adsorption centers are formed.
