Mesoporous nanocrystalline zirconia with high surface area and pure tetragonal crystallite phase has been prepared by bifunctional ethylene diamine as both precipitating agent for ZrO(NO₃)₂ to ZrO(OH)₂ and colloidal protecting agent for the ZrO(OH)₂ nanoparticles. The effect of refluxing time and temperature on the structural properties of the zirconia were investigated. The obtained results showed that the increasing in refluxing time and temperature improved the thermal stability and increased the tetragonal content of the zirconia. The results also showed that the addition of Pluronic P123 block copolymer surfactant acted as a cosurfactant and increased the specific surface area of the zirconia.
