Abstract This study aimed to determine the effect of calcination time on the properties of Al(OH)3 or gibbsite nanoparticles in the sol-gel process, which was then used as the basic material in the manufacturing of water-Al(OH)3 based nanofluids. Nanofluid is a mixture of basic fluids such as water with solid nanoparticles. Al(OH)3 nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized from Indonesia local mineral bauxite using the sol-gel method by utilizing tomato waste extract as a chelating agent at a calcination temperature of 700ºC for 1 hour, 3 hours, and 5 hours. The obtained calcined powders were characterized using X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The evaluation toward nanofluids application based on theirs stability based on visual observation and zeta potential. Based on XRD analysis, all calcined powders has single Al(OH)3 or gibbsite phase. Increasing the calcined temperature gave impact on crystallinity, crystallite size, and reorientation of crystal. The water-Al(OH)3 nanofluid was relatively less stable with a zeta potential value of -25.2 mV; -26.4 mV; and -17.4 mV for calcination time 1 h, 3 h, and 5 h, respectively.

PVP/[Y(NO3)3+Al (NO3)3] composite nanobelts were fabricated via electrospinning combined with sol-gel process and novel structure of Y3Al5O12(denoted as YAG for short) nanobelts have been obtained after calcination of the relevant composite nanobelts. The structural properties were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD analysis indicated that the composite nanobelts were amorphous, and YAG nanobelts were cubic in structure with space group Ia3d. FTIR analysis manifested that pure YAG nanobelts were formed at 900oC. SEM analysis and histograms revealed that the width of the composite nanobelts and YAG nanobelts were 3.5 μm and 2.4 μm, and the thickness were 240 nm and 112 nm, respectively, under the 95% confidence level. The formation mechanism of YAG nanobelts was discussed in detail.

Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3 thin films with thickness of 120nm, 190nm, 310nm, 440nm and 630nm were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by sol-gel process through repeating spining process 2 times, 4 times, 6 times, 8 times and 10 times respectively. The structures of PZT films were investigated by SEM and XRD analysis. The ferroelectric hysteresis loops were recorded by Radiant Precision Workstation and dielectric properties were measured using an Agilent HP4294A impedance analyzer. X-ray diffraction indicated that with the film thickness increasing, the diffraction intensity increased. The thickness of PZT film had great effect on ferroelectric and dielectric properties. Conclusively when the film thickness was about 310nm, the PZT thin films possessed better ferroelectric and dielectric properties.

In this work, a single-layer TiO2–ZrO2 thin film is deposited on the AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel by the sol–gel process and the dip coating method to improve its corrosion resistance properties. For the sol preparation, titanium isopropoxide and zirconium butoxide are used as the precursors, yttrium acetate hydrate is used for the ZrO2 stabilization, i-propanol as the solvent, nitric acid as the catalyst, acetylacetone as the chelating agent, and the distilled water for the hydrolysis. The deposited films are annealed at 400 °C or 600 °C. Morphology and phase composition of the sol–gel TiO2–ZrO2 films and powders are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with EDX detector and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The thickness of the sol–gel TiO2–ZrO2 films deposited on the stainless steel is determined by glow discharge optical emission spectrometry (GD-OES). The corrosion behavior of the stainless steel, coated by amorphous films, is evaluated in 3 wt% NaCl and 0.5 mol dm−3 HCl by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. It is found that the sol–gel TiO2–ZrO2 films with the amorphous structure, deposited by the sol–gel process, and calcined at 400 °C significantly enhance the corrosion properties of AISI 316L in both chloride media.

The nano-NiO powder was prepared by sol-gel method combining heat treatment technology and its structure and morphology were explored. In addition, the NiO powder electrochemical properties were tested by constant current charging and discharging. The results show that the stable performance sol can be composed by nickel acetate as source of nickel and PAA as chelating agent. Nano-NiO powder of crystal structure integrity, particle uniformity can be prepared by the sol. The gel decomposes completely and gradually forms nanocrystal at 430οC. Its grain size is gradually increasing when the annealing temperature rise. The nano-NiO powder sintered at 600°C exhibits uniform particle, integrity crystal structure, low aggregation and superior electrochemistry performance and may be used in Li-ion battery as the anode material.

In this study, Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox (Bi-2212) thick films on Ag substrate were fabricated using the dip-coating method. Firstly, the Bi-2212 powders were prepared by Sol-Gel process. Metal nitrates were used as starting materials and ethylenediaminetetracetic acid (EDTA) was used as chelating agent. Secondly, the resulting powders were used as solute, and polyvinyl butyral (PVB) was used as solvent to prepare suspension via stirring and ultrasonic vibration. Then the suspension was dip-coated on Ag substrate. After heat treatments, the phase compositions of the samples were characterized using the XRD. The microstructure was observed using SEM. Experimental results show that the sintering temperature strongly influence the phase formation of Bi–2212.

Solid solution Pb1-xBaxTiO3, with particular emphasis on Pb0.5Ba0.5TiO3, was prepared using a sol-gel process incorporating lead acetate trihydrate, barium acetate, and titanium isopropoxide as precursors, acetylacetone (2,4 pentanedione) as a chelating agent, and ethylene glycol as a solvent. The synthesis procedure was optimized by systematically varying acetylacetone: Ti and H2O:Ti molar ratios and calcination temperature. The resulting effects on sol and powder properties were studied using thermogravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, and x-ray diffraction (XRD). Crystallization of the perovskite structure occurred at a temperature as low as 450 °C. Thin films were prepared by spin coating on (100) MgO. Pyrolysis temperature and heating rate were varied, and the resultant film properties investigated using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and XRD. Under optimized conditions, highly oriented films were obtained at a crystallization temperature of 600 °C.

LiCo nanopowders, one of the most important cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, were synthesized via a modified sol-gel process assisted with triethanolamine (TEA) as a complexing agent. The influence of three different chelating agents including acrylic acid, citric acid, and oxalic acid on the size and morphology of particles was investigated. Structure and morphology of the synthesized powders were characterized by thermogravimetric/differential thermal analyses (TG/DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results indicate that the powder processed with TEA and calcinated at 800 had an excellent hexagonal ordering of -NaFe-type (space group Rm). Also, the other three complexing agents had a decisive influence on the particle size, shape, morphology, and degree of agglomeration of the resulting oxides. Based on the data presented in this work, it is proposed that the optimized size and distribution of LiCo powders may be achieved through sol-gel processing using TEA as a chelating agent.
