Popis: The synthesis of Co 2+ -stabilized zirconia by the nitrate/urea combustion route is investigated. Using seven times the so-called stoichiometric urea proportion allows to obtain for the first time the Zr 0.9 Co 0.1 O 1.9 solid solution fully stabilized in tetragonal form. The thermal stability in air and the reduction in H 2 , H 2 –CH 4 and H 2 –C 2 H 4 atmospheres are studied. The carbon forms obtained upon reduction are investigated. Reduction in H 2 –CH 4 produces many carbon species including short carbon nanofibers, nanoribbons, hollow particles often forming bamboo structures, carbon-encapsulated Co particles and carbon nanotubes. Reduction in H 2 –C 2 H 4 produces 15–30 nm nanofibers.
