Abstract

TiO₂ and ZrO₂ nanomaterials were successfully synthesized by sol gel method. Samples were characterized by X-ray difraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), N₂ adsorption–desorption, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), SEM images and TEM images of TiO₂ and ZrO₂ samples showed the particle size of 10–20 nm. The results have revealed highly porous structure of ZrO₂ and TiO₂ nanomaterials with specific surface area of 116 m²g^-1 and 125 m²g^-1, respectively. The TiO₂ and ZrO₂ materials were used as the degradation of dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP) chemical warfare agent emulator. The ZrO₂ nanomaterial exhibited highly catalytic performance of DMNP degradation and the conversion reached to the value of 90.64 %, after 120 min of reaction.
