The microstructure of Fe2O3 sol-gel thin films, obtained from Fe(OCH2CH3)3, was investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman spectroscopy. Samples were nanocrystalline from 400 °C to 1000 °C, and the crystallized phase was haematite. In the coatings, the α–Fe2O3 clusters were dispersed as single particles in a network of amorphous ferric oxide.

The Fe 3+- TiO 2 thin films obtained through sol-gel method were characterized by x-ray diffraction, AFM and Raman spectroscopy. It was found that TiO 2 films consisted of nanometer particles. The experimental results shows that the nanometer TiO 2 thin films doped with Fe 3+ were greatly improved in the activity aspect. This may be ascribed to change their structure and electrical properties after doping with Fe 3+. The results were discussed theoretically in detail.

Multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO) nanotubes have been successfully fabricated by the modified sol–gel method within the nanochannels of porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The morphology, structure and composition of the nanotubes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), selected-area electron diffraction (SAED), high resolution TEM, (HRTEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Postannealed (650 °C for 1 h), BFO nanotubes were polycrystalline and X-ray diffraction study revealed that they are of the rhomohedrally distorted perovskite crystal structure. The results of SEM and TEM revealed that BFO nanotubes possessed a uniform length (up to 60 μm) and diameter (about 200 nm), which were controlled by the thickness and the pore diameter of the applied AAO template, respectively and the thickness of the wall of the BFO nanotube was about 15 nm. Y-junctions in the BFO nanotubes were observed. EDX analysis demonstrated that stoichiometric BiFeO3 was formed. HRTEM analysis confirmed that the obtained BFO nanotubes made up of nanoparticles (3–6 nm). The possible formation mechanism of BFO nanotubes was discussed.

Abstract Samples of pure zinc aluminate (ZnAl2O4) and doped both with lead (Pb2+) at different ratios (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5% mol) and a constant amount of lanthanum (La: 1% mol), were prepared by the citrate sol-gel technique, and then annealed at 900°C for 2h. In order to study the structural, optical and thermal properties; different characterization methods were used, such as: powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), TGA, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. The Analyzes by XRD revealed the presence of the cubic single phase ZnAl2O4 for all samples, with a crystallites size between 19 and 25 nm. These results were confirmed using FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and SEM. Also, photocatalytic study for different samples of ZnAl2O4 shows that they can be used like as photocatalyst and good adsorbents for degradation of Hexamethyl crystallized violet dye in aqueous solution.

Nanophase TiO 2 was prepared by a stearic acid sol–gel technique. X-ray measurements showed that the as-prepared sample is anatase TiO 2 phase with an average grain size of 10.4 nm. Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate the structural transformation from anatase-to-rutile in the nanophase TiO 2 annealed at a series of temperatures from 450 to 650°C. The results showed that the transformation took place in a wide annealing temperature range. The related mechanism to the phase transformation is discussed according to nanometer size effect.

The aim of the study was to obtain zirconium and calcium doped zirconium coatings using sol-gel methodology and their further modification with electrophoretically deposited hydroxyapatite. Both systems phase composition was investigated using Raman spectroscopy. Their morphology and composition was studied using scanning electron microscope (SEM) with X-ray microanalysis (EDS), while their topography was observed using atomic force microscope (AFM). The osseointegrative properties of both coatings were investigated using in vitro Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) test. The resulting systems were studied using the same methods that were applied to the two coatings.

This study is focused on formation mechanism and photocatalytic properties of bismuth vanadate. BiVO4 powders were synthesized by a sol-gel method, and its photocatalytic performance was investigated under different Ag+ environments in this paper. The experimental data obtained were tested by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV/vis scanning spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) etc. The decolorization rate of MO was researched by Ag2O loading and Ag (NO3) used as electron acceptor. The possible photocatalytic mechanism has been discussed by photocatalytic reactions.

Development of effective antibacterial visible light-activated photocatalytic materials in industries including wastewater treatment and food industry has attracted increasing attention. In this work, Fe-doped TiO2 thin films with different doping levels on a glass substrate were prepared by the sol-gel dip-coating method. The as-prepared films were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and atomic force microscope (AFM). Raman spectroscopy and XRD results show the crystalline phase of titanium dioxide was anatase, and the range of the crystal size for the films was 19.24–22.24 nm. XPS results indicate that iron was in the form of Fe3+ in Fe-doped TiO2 films. Regarding the antibacterial properties of TiO2 films, the order of antibacterial activity of TiO2 films was 0.1 at% Fe > 0.5 at% Fe > 1.0 at% TiO2 > bare TiO2 > 2.0 at% Fe > 3.45 at% Fe. 0.1 at% of Fe is the optimum dopant ratio related to antibacterial activity. 0.1 at% Fe-doped TiO2 film is highly efficient in inactivating E. coli under 3 h of visible light irradiation, and it remains efficient even in real dye waste water.
