The study presents the synthesis of nano-thiamine hydrochloride structure (NTH) using sol-gel method by hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate with ethanol and water mixture as silica source and nitric acid as catalyst support in which thiamine hydrochloride nanocrystals were dispersed in the silica glassy matrix. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The morphological observation of the SEM results reveals that the nano-thiamine hydrochloride composites are in the range of 5–15 nm in size.

ZrO2 thin films containing silver nanoparticles were prepared using the sol-gel method with Ag to Zr molar ratios [Ag]/[Zr] = 0.11, 0.25, 0.43, 0.67, 1.00, 1.50, and 2.33. After dip coating on glass substrate, coated films were annealed at 200 and 300 °C in air. X-ray diffraction peaks corresponding to crystalline Ag were observed, but a specific peak corresponding to ZrO2 was not observed. At the molar ratio [Ag]/[Zr] = 0.25, the particle size of Ag distributed broadly centered at 17 nm for an annealing temperature of 200 °C and at 25 nm for 300 °C. The films annealed in air at 200 °C showed an absorption band centered at 450 nm because of the silver surface plasmon resonance, whereas films heated at 300 °C in air caused a red shift of the absorption to 500 nm. The absorption peak was analyzed using the effective dielectric function of Ag-ZrO2 composite films modeled with the Maxwell-Garnett expression.

Nanocrystalline bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12; BTO) powders were successfully prepared by the sol-gel method, using bismuth nitrate (Bi(NO3)3·5H2O) and tetrabutyl titanate (Ti(OC4H9)4) as source materials, acetic anhydride and ethanediol as solvents. The thermal decomposition and phase inversion process of the gel precursors were studied by using differential thermal analysis (DTA). The crystal structures and microstructures of BTO powders were investigated by using x-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The crystallization of amorphous bismuth titanate has been discussed. The effect of sintering temperature on the structure and morphology of BTO was investigated. At 644 oC and above, BTO powder undergoes a phase transformation from tetragonal to orthorhombic. At 900 oC, the purified orthorhombic BTO nanocrystals were obtained.

Sol Gel Synthesis

Bismuth zinc niobium oxide (BZN) was successfully synthesized by a diol-based sol-gel reaction utilizing metal acetate and alkoxide precursors. Thermal analysis of a liquid suspension of precursors suggests that the majority of organic precursors decompose at temperatures up to 150°C, and organic free powders form above 350°C. The experimental results indicate that a homogeneous gel is obtained at about 200°C and then converts to a mixture of intermediate oxides at 350–400°C. Finally, single-phased BZN powders are obtained between 500 and 900°C. The degree of chemical homogeneity as determined by X-ray diffraction and EDS mapping is consistent throughout the samples. Elemental analysis indicates that the atomic ratio of metals closely matches a Bi1.5ZnNb1.5O7composition. Crystallite sizes of the BZN powders calculated from the Scherrer equation are about 33–98 nm for the samples prepared at 500–700°C, respectively. The particle and crystallite sizes increase with increased sintering temperature. The estimated band gap of the BZN nanopowders from optical analysis is about 2.60–2.75 eV at 500-600°C. The observed phase formations and measured results in this study were compared with those of previous reports.

AbstractThe waste fly ash (FA) material was subjected to chemical treatment with HCl at elevated temperature for a different time to modify its porosity. Modified FA particles with highest surface area and pore volume were further used as a support for TiO2 catalyst during FA/TiO2 nanocomposite preparation. The nanocomposite photocatalysts were obtained by in situ sol–gel synthesis of titanium dioxide in the presence of FA particles. To perform accurate characterization of modified FA and FA/TiO2 nanocomposite photocatalysts, gas adsorption-desorption analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV/Vis and Infrared spectroscopy were used. Efficiency evaluation of the synthesized FA/TiO2 nanocomposites was performed by following the removal of Reactive Red 45 (RR45) azo dye during photocatalytic treatment under the UV-A irradiation. Photocatalysis has been carried out up to five cycles with the same catalysts to investigate their stability and the possible reuse. The FA/TiO2 photocatalyst showed very good photocatalytic activity and stability even after the fifth cycles. The obtained results show that successfully modified waste fly ash can be used as very good TiO2 support.

AbstractHybrid materials like organo-phyllosilicates exhibit new properties which make them potential candidates for many industrials applications as rubber reinforcement, environmental barriers…. With this aim, a series of new layered inorganic-organic solids, with organic functionalities directly bonded to the inorganic sheets via the Si-C bond, were prepared by a template sol-gel synthesis under soft conditions (room temperature) using octyltriethoxysilane as the silica source, aluminum acetylacetonate as the alumina source, magnesium nitrate and sodium hydroxide. These hybrid materials belong to the 2:1 trioctahedral phyllosilicates family with inorganic compositions close to saponite. The ratio of Al (x) could be varied between 0 and 0.33. The x-ray diffraction patterns agree with a layers structure (presence of the (00l) peak series and the (060) peak). The high d001 spacing values (2.4-2.6 nm) can be related to the octyl chains present in the interlayer space. DRIFT and 13C NMR spectra indicate that the Si-C bonds are intact and siloxanes are fully hydrolyzed giving SiOAl and SiOMg bonds. 27Al and 29Si NMR were carried out in order to determine the repartition of the different elements in the layer: Al substitutes for Si in the tetrahedral layer and for Mg in the octahedral one. These results were determined by elemental analysis. The DTA-TG results show that the organic matter start to decompose in air above 250°C but its complete removal needs temperatures higher then 800°C. The aspect of the materials depends on the value of x; it varies from greasy, waxy, waxy powdery and finally powdery. The hydrophilicity of the solids depends strongly on the aluminum content.

Quaternary metal oxide of Ba2NiTi5O13was synthesized by using two-step sol-gel method. Excess of titanium dioxide obtained from the first step of sol-gel synthesis, were subsequently reacted in second step of sol-gel synthesis in order to produce Ba2NiTi5O13monoclinic phase. Calcination temperature of 900 °C for as long as 8 hours was needed for obtaining pure phase of Ba2NiTi5O13. Homogenous micron sized particles of Ba2NiTi5O13with average size of 0.10 μm and narrow distribution were observed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Besides, porous structures can also be seen distributed across the surface of the particles of Ba2NiTi5O13particles. Characterization of monoclinic phase of Ba2NiTi5O13was described based on the investigations of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA).

Abstract Low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC), being the most advantageous technology related to the multilayer substrates for various applications, demands an extensive study of raw materials. In the present work, a series of CaxMg1−xNb2O6 (x =0, 0.4, 0.6, 1.0) were prepared using sol-gel synthesis route and sintered at a temperature of 900°C to study its applicability for LTCC technology. The phase formation has been confirmed using X-ray diffraction. Thermal properties like thermal conductivity and thermal expansion, which are very important aspects as the former defines the heat flow to avoid thermal instability in the layers and the latter provides the dimensional congruency of the dielectric material and the conductors, are studied here over high temperature range up to the firing temperature. Although the values are quite satisfactory from the application point view, the results have showed an anomaly over temperature. The anomalous thermal behavior was further analyzed using TG-DTA.

<p>The aim of this work was to determine the effect of calcination temperature on the characteristics of Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles (NPs) in sol-gel synthesis. The obtained Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3 </sub>NPs was then used as material for preparation of Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-water nanofluids. Nanofluids is a mixture between basic fluid like water and 1 - 100 nm solid particles (nanoparticles). Nanoparticles of Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> have been synthesized from the local mineral Jarosite using sol-gel method by using starfruit (<em>Averrhoa bilimbi</em>) extracts as the chelating agent. The calcination temperature was then varied from 500 ºC to 700 ºC for 5 hours. Based on the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis, the diffraction pattern of obtained Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> was relevant with the JCPDS data No. 33-0664 for α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3 </sub>with hexagonal crystallite system. The crystallite size (Scherrer’s Equation) of obtained α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles at calcination temperatures of 500 ºC, 600 ºC and 700 ºC was 50 nm, 48 nm and 40 nm, respectively. The Surface Area of Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> NPs at temperature of 500 ºC, 600 ºC and 700 ºC was 45.45 m<sup>2</sup>/g; 26.91 m<sup>2</sup>/g and 17.51 m<sup>2</sup>/g, respectively. Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-water nanofluids was relativly stable with zeta potential of -39.60 mV; -46.37 mV and -41.57 mV, respectively for 500 ºC, 600 ºC and 700 ºC calcination temperature. The viscosity of Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-water nanofluids was higher than the viscosity of water. The critical heat flux (CHF) value of water-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanofluids was higher than the CHF water. The highest CHF value for nanofluids was obtained by using α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles with calcination temperature of 600 ºC which 34.99 % of increment compare to the base fluid (water).</p>

AbstractIn the present work, the formation of cobalt aluminium spinel (CoAl2O4) as well as novel cobalt neodymium-aluminates with nominal compositions of CoAl1.75Nd0.25O4, CoAl1.5Nd0.5O4 and CoAlNdO4 by an aqueous sol-gel process and the sinterability of the products are investigated. The metal ions, generated by dissolving starting materials of metals in the diluted acetic acid were complexed by 1,2-ethanediol to obtain the precursors for the mixed metal ceramics. The phase purity of the synthesized compounds was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The microstructural evolution and morphological features of the products were studied by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, which together with the optical characterization of these new compounds showed that the sol-gel-derived materials could be successfully used as effective cobalt-based ceramic pigments.

ABSTRACTIn our previous work we have obtained YBCO thick films on silver alloy substrate via the peritectic solidification. To further develop grain-textured YBCO thin films for conductor development, in this study, we have used a sol gel approach to deposit YBCO thin films on two different substrates, namely, yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and a silver alloy containing 10 % of palladium (Ag –10%Pd). We have found that the sol gel film on YSZ exhibits an epitaxial growth. This is confirmed by both x-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). XRD data also indicate that the YBCO film on Ag-10%Pd has a c-axis grain orientation. The details are reported on sol gel synthesis and XRD and HRTEM characterization of the YBCO thin films.
