Composite sol with spinnability was prepared from an aqueous solution using polyvinyl butyral (PVB), Al (NO3)3·9H2O (AN) and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) via non-hydrolytic sol-gel method. The mullite fibers with good flexibility were also obtained. The viscosity of composite sol increased with the increasing PVB content, water-bathing temperature and aging time. FTIR spectroscopy of composite gel showed a new absorption peak due to the C=O group, which implied the presence of new reaction product. It could be explained by the reaction among PVB, AN and TEOS.

Porous N-doped TiO2 photocatalyst was successfully synthesized by an environmentally friendly peroxo sol-gel method using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a templating agent. Here, the effect of PEG addition to the aqueous peroxotitanium solutions on the structure, pore properties and photocatalytic activity of the obtained photocatalysts was systematically studied. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). It was found that the doping of nitrogen narrows the band gap of TiO2 leading to enhance its visible-light response. The BET analysis shows that the prepared photocatalysts have a typical mesoporous structure with pore sizes of 3–6 nm. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared photocatalysts was evaluated by photocatalytic reduction of Cd(II) in an aqueous solution under visible light irradiation. The results show that porous N-doped TiO2 with the optimal PEG addition had the highest Cd(II) reduction of 85.1% after 2.5 h irradiation in neutral aqueous solution. This significant improvement in photocatalytic activity of the prepared photocatalysts was mainly attributed to the synergistic combination of N doping and porous structure, which could actively increase the catalytic active site of this photocatalysts.

<div> <p>Tubular halloysite clay mineral and nanocrystalline TiO<sub>2 </sub>were incorporated in the preparation of nanocomposite films on glass substrates via sol-gel method at 450&ordm;C. The synthesis involves a simple chemical method employing nonionic surfactant molecule as pore directing agent along with the acetic acid-based sol-gel route without addition of water molecules. Drying and thermal treatment of composite films ensure elimination of organic material and lead to the formation of TiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles homogeneously distributed on the surface of the halloysite. Nanocomposite films without cracks of active anatase crystal phase and small crystallite size on halloysite nanotubes are characterized by microscopy techniques and porosimetry methods in order to examine their structural properties. The composite halloysite-TiO<sub>2 </sub>films with variable quantities of halloysite were examined as photocatalysts to the discoloration of Basic Blue 41 azo dye in water. These nanocomposite films proved to be very promising photocatalysts and highly effective to dye&rsquo;s discoloration in spite of small amount of halloysite/TiO<sub>2</sub> catalyst immobilized onto glass substrates. It also has been shown that the efficiency of the halloysite/TiO<sub>2</sub> films could be further improved when silver particles were deposited on their surface after successful adsorption from an aqueous solution of a silver salt and UV reduction of the adsorbed ions.</p> </div> <p>&nbsp;</p>

ABSTRACTSuperconducting YBa2Cu3O7-δ, ceramic pieces and fibers were prepared through a sol-gel route from ametal acetate aqueous solution of controlled pH. Concentrating the starting solution by evaporating the solvent provided a transparent viscous sol, from which gel fibers could be drawn. Further concentrating of the viscous solution led to formation of gel pieces. Conversion of gel fibers and pieces to superconductors were investigated in terms of precipitating crystalline species and electrical conductivities.
