Rh-nanoparticle-dispersed ZrO2 films prepared by laser chemical vapor deposition

►Rh-nanoparticle-dispersed ZrO2 films were prepared by laser CVD. ►Rh nanoparticles precipitated on ZrO2 matrix having a feather-like structure. ►Rh nanoparticles and ZrO2 matrix were stable after heat treatment at 873 K in air.
