The radiation decomposition of water in a nano-ZrO2 + nano-SiO2 + H2O system at 300 K by the action of gamma radiation has been studied by Fourier transform IR spectroscopy. Water adsorption in the zirconium and silicon nanooxides is attributed to molecular and dissociative mechanisms. Active intermediates in this radiation-induced heterogeneous decomposition of water were detected including zirconium and silicon hydrides and hydroxyl groups. Variation in the ratio of ZrO2 and SiO2 nanopowders was shown to lead to change in their radiation catalytic activity compared to initial ZrO2.
