Abstract: The characterization for PrOy-ZrO2 solid solutions prepared by improved sol-gel method was performed by means of Raman, XRD, TEM and so on. It is found that the grain size of PrOy-ZrO2 solid solution calcined at 650 ℃ is 5—10 nm, and that of PrOy-ZrO2 solid solution calcined at 950 ℃[x(Pr)>16%] is about 20 nm. At a higher Pr content, phase transformation towords a higher-symmetrical phase(tetragonal or cubic) was observed. The results of phase analysis obtained by Raman spectroscopy were different from the corresponding results of XRD, which implies a structure difference between the surface and the bulk shell of the samples. With the increase of the Pr content, the m→t→c phase tramsformation occurred in the bulk area and the m→t→t" phase tramsformation occurred in the surface area. The surface region is more easily to form a low symmetry and disorder structure.
