SiO2-Al2O3 xerogels with various Si : Al ratios were synthesized via sol-gel method (two kinds of synthetic procedures were used) and characterized by means of elemental analysis, XRD, thermogravimetry and IR spectroscopy. No losses of precursors were found during the synthesis and the introduced components are quantitatively transferred from the initial mixture to the composition of the formed samples.The position of the luminescence band in the 300–500 nm region depends on the wavelength of the exciting light, time of gel maturation and the drying temperature, which is the manifestation of the influence of the structure of units in xerogels on the luminescent properties.
We reported a scalable sol–gel method for the preparation of Sr0.3Pb0.7TiO3/CoFe2O4 core–shell magnetic nanocomposite with a finely controlled shell and evaluated its efficiency as an electrochemical sensor for the selective detection of 3,4-diaminotoluene.
