New catalyst based on zirconia (ZrO2) supported by chromium oxide (CrO3) for isomerization of n-pentane was studied. CrO3-ZrO2 was prepared with chromium nitrate by the titration and sol-gel technique. The physical properties of the catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET surface area analyzer, and TEM. The acidity and structure of catalysts were determined by pyridine and lutidine preadsorbed FTIR spectroscopy.  The isomerization of n-pentane was carried out at 523 K under hydrogen stream. CrO3-ZrO2 shows the differences in terms of physical properties where the introduction CrO3 partially eliminated the monoclinic phase of ZrO2 and developed new peaks assigned to tetragonal phase of ZrO2. CrO3-ZrO2 also shows a higher specific surface area where it increases in the pore volume of the catalyst compare to its parent zirconia.  The IR results indicated that CrO3-ZrO2 catalyst have strong Lewis and weak Brønsted acid sites. The conversion of n-pentane for CrO3-ZrO2 was 32% respectively, while the selectivity to iso-pentane was 100%. ________________________________________GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

The modification and tailoring characteristic of nanostructured materials are of great interest due to controllable and unusual inherent properties in such materials. Cobalt-doped zinc oxide (Co:ZnO) thin films were prepared using the sol-gel technique with the spin coating method. The optical and physical properties of Co:ZnO films were tailored by the adjustment of Co concentration, which was realised by varying the ratio. The morphology and structure properties were characterised, and the effects of Co doping and post-annealing were investigated. Similar with undoped ZnO, the synthesised Co:ZnO films have a hexagonal wurtzite structure with the crystallinity deteriorated, and present high visible transparency with the absorption edge redshifted. Debye–Scherrer analysis of XRD pattern reveals an increase of the crystallite size with doping concentration. The bandgap, calculated using a Tauc Plot method, reveals a decrease in the absorption onset with an increase in the doping level.

AbstractPhotoresistant laser dyes were trapped in silica based xerogel host matrices to obtain solid state tunable lasers. For this purpose very dense xerogel samples with improved chemical and physical properties were prepared at room temperature by the sol-gel technology. The as-prepared materials were polished to obtain optical quality surfaces and were used as new lasing media.Lasing action of such different dyes as rhodamine, perylene and pyrromethene doping dense sol-gel matrices was demonstrated. Efficiencies of 30 % or lifetimes of more than 100,000 shots were achieved with different new ≤dye dopant/host matrix≥ couples. Their different performances are reviewed and discussed.

A mesoporous titania structure has been prepared using the ultrasound-assisted sol-gel technique in order to find out a way to tailor its structure. The TiO2 obtained was compared to the same version of titania but synthesized by a conventional sol-gel method with the objective of understanding the effect of ultrasound in the synthesis process. All synthesis experiments were focused on the preparation of a titania photocatalyst. Thus, the anatase photocatalytic active phase of titania was proven by X-ray diffraction. Additionally, the ultrasonation treatment proved to increase the crystallinity of titania samples, being one of the requirements to having good photocatalytic activity for titania. The influence of surfactant/titania precursor weight ratio on the structural (XRD), textural (N2-sorption measurements), morphological (TEM), surface chemistry (FTIR) and optical properties (UVDR) was investigated. It was observed that the crystallite size, specific surface area, band gap energy and even photocatalytic activity was affected by the synergism occurring between cavitation effect and the surfactant/titania precursor weight ratio. The study yielded interesting great results that could be considered for further application of ultrasound to tailor mesoporous titania features via sol-gel soft template synthesis, against conventional sol-gel process.
