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 mtc phase tramsformation occurred in the bulk area and the mtt" phase tramsformation occurred in the surface area. The surface region is more easily to form a low symmetry and disorder structure.
