Metal oxide nano-composites plays a very important role in many areas of chemistry, physics and material science. This paper explains the synthesis and comparison of zinc and zirconium doped TiO2 metal oxide nano-composites and their different properties. Here the sol-gel method is used to synthesis both the nano-composites. Nano-composites have been characterized with XRD, AFM, Zetasizer & potential and FT-IR studies. XRD study revealed good crystallinity with the size range of 30 nm – 45 nm for both nano-composites. AFM studies also revealed the same. FTIR study reports the characteristics peaks of synthesised nano-composites.

To investigate characterization of Zr x La 1-x O y nanocrystallites as a buffer oxide in forming the metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) structure, we synthesized Zr x La 1-x O y nanocrystallites by sol–gel method. Moreover, from the solution prepared, thin films on silicon wafer substrates have been realized by "dip-coating" with a pulling out speed of 5 cm min -1. The structure, morphology, electrical properties of thin film was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. Electrical property characterization was performed with metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structures through capacitance–voltage (C–V) and current density–voltage (J–V) measurements. The leakage current density was below 1.0 ×10-6 A/cm 2 at 1 MV/cm.

Abstract In the field of environmental science, metal oxide nanocomposites have gained a great attention for both theoretical and experimental aspects of their upgradation because of their wide range of practical applications such as catalysts, sensors, hydrogen storages, and optoelectronics. Among all nanocomposites, Copper oxide-zinc oxide (CuO-ZnO) has attracted more research due to their excellent tunable catalytic, electrical, optical, and magnetic properties and environment-friendly nature. Coupling of one metal oxide semiconductor with another metal oxide semiconductor produces an enlarged surface area, which provide more reactive sites, promotes mass transfer, promotes electron transfer, and avoids photo-corrosion of nanocomposites, which enhances its efficiency. The CuO-ZnO nanocomposite has been prepared by various methods such as co-precipitation, sol-gel, wet impregnation, and thermal decomposition. Depending on the preparation method and conditions used, different types of CuO-ZnO nanocomposites like Cu-doped ZnO, Cu supported/impregnated on ZnO, and CuO-ZnO mixed oxides with different morphologies of CuO-ZnO nanocomposites have been obtained. This article reviews the synthesis techniques of the CuO-ZnO nanocomposite and its morphology. Various practical applications of the CuO-ZnO nanocomposites have also been discussed.

Conducting thin films were prepared by entrapping water-suspended polyaniline into a silica matrix by a sol-gel route. Without metal oxide, the conductivity of the film decreased after heat treatment. However, in the presence of metal oxides such as TiO2 and Al2O3, the conductivity increased after heat treatment at 85 °C and reached 17 Scm−1 The conductivity of the film depended on the kinds and amounts of metal oxides and the temperature of heat treatment.

Nickel oxide based bimetallic mixed metal oxide nanoparticles are of considerable interest and they have been used as catalysts for NOx decomposition and as reactive adsorbents for ultra deep desulfurization. In the present study, nanoparticles of NiO-ZnO, NiO-CuO and NiO-MgO were synthesized by sol-gel method. The mixed metal oxide nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Pure NiO nanoparticles show a band gap of 4.24 eV and the band gap shows a blue shift or red shift in the case of mixed metal oxide nanoparticles.
