A hybrid sol–gel solid-state procedure employing 3 h calcination at 1100 °C is used to produce fast-ion conducting Al-doped Li7La3Zr2O12.
Large quantities of aluminum borate (Al4B2O9) nanowhiskers have been successfully synthesized by sol–gel and post-thermal-treatment methods.
A simple and facile one-pot sol–gel method is proposed for the fabrication of hollow mesoporous silica particles. Both the particle size and the shell thickness can be well controlled.
