ABSTRACTWe investigated a composite electrolyte for solid oxide fuel cells prepared by coating a ceria sheet (Ce0.8Gd0.2O2-d or GDC ) with a scandia alumina doped zirconia (0.850ZrO2-0.110Sc2O3-0.04Al2O3) film by the sol-gel method. The sol-gel film annealed at 1200°C was examined by X-ray diffraction analysis and found to be in a cubic phase at room temperature. The ionic conductivity of this film is comparable to that of bulk sintered at 1620°C. Scanning electron microscope observations revealed that the film forms a good interface with the electrolyte of the ceria sheet, even though the annealing temperature is as low as 1200°C.We fabricated a single cell consisting of a composite electrolyte, a La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 cathode and a Ni-YSZ anode. The composite electrolyte consisted of zirconia film about one micron thick deposited by the sol-gel method and a 0.2 mm thick ceria sheet.A cell operated with moist H2 and O2 gas exhibited an open circuit voltage of 1.00 V at 800°C. This value is much closer to the value of 1.13 V expected from the Nernst equation than the value of 0.76 V for a cell with a ceria sheet but without the sol-gel film.

Cerium trivalent (Ce3+) doped YAG nano-sized phosphors have been successfully synthesized by sol-gel method using different annealing temperatures. The samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and steady photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that the pure cubic phase YAG was formed and strongly depends on the cerium content and the annealing temperature. It was found that the grain size ranges from 30 to 58 nm depending on the calcination temperature. The YAG: Ce nanophosphors showed intense, green-yellow emission, corresponding to Ce3+5d1→2F5/2,2F7/2transitions and its photoluminescence excitation spectrum contains the two Ce3+4f1→5d1, 5d2bands. The crystal filed splitting energy levels positions 5d1and 5d2and the emission transitions blue shift with annealing temperatures have been discussed. It was found that the Ce3+4f1ground state position relative to valence band maximum of YAG host nanomaterial decreases with increasing the temperature.

Mn, Fe doped ZnO powders (Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O2, x≤0.05) were synthesized by an ameliorated sol-gel method, using Zn(CH3COO)2, Mn(CH3COO)2and FeCl2as the raw materials, with the addition of vitamin C as a kind of chemical reducer. The resulting powder was subsequently compacted under pressure of 10 MPa at the temperature of 873K in vacuum. The crystal structure and magnetic properties of Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O2powder and bulk samples have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study chemical valence of manganese, iron and zinc in the samples. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O (x≤0.05) samples were single phase with the ZnO-like wurtzite structure. No secondary phase was found in the XRD spectrum. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that Fe and Mn existed in Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O2samples in Fe2+and Mn2+states. The results of VSM experiment proved the room temperature ferromagnetic properties (RTFP) of Mn, Fe co-doped ZnO samples.

SnO2 nanoparticle architectures were successfully synthesized using a sol-gel method and developed for acetone gas detection. The morphology and structure of the particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SnO2 nanoparticle architectures were configured as high-performance sensors to detect acetone and showed a very fast response time (<1 s), a short recovery time (10 s), good repeatability and high selectivity at a relatively low working temperature. Thus, SnO2 nanoparticles should be promising candidates for designing and fabricating acetone gas sensors with good gas sensing performance. The possible gas sensing mechanism is also presented.

Abstract In this work, the PbFe12O19 nanoparticles were prepared by the simple and optimized precipitation method with different organic surfactants and capping agents. In the next step, the TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized using the sol-gel method. At the final step, the PbFe12O19-TiO2 nanocomposites were prepared via the sol-gel method.

The results obtained by the vibrating sample magnetometer show the magnetic properties of the ferrite nanostructures. The photocatalytic effect of the PbFe12O19-TiO2 nanocomposite on the elimination of the azo dyes (acid black, acid violet and acid blue) under ultraviolet light irradiation was evaluated. The results indicate that the prepared nanocomposites have acceptable magnetic and photocatalytic performance.

AbstractIn this work, BiFeO3 powders were synthesized by a sol–gel method. The influence of annealing temperature on the structure and magnetic properties of the samples has been discussed. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the purest phase was formed in the temperature range of 400 °C to 550 °C and the samples annealed at a temperature below 550 °C were of nanocrystalline character. Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetization measurements were used as complementary methods to investigate the magnetic state of the samples. In particular, the appearance of weak ferromagnetic properties, significant growth of magnetization, and spin-glass-like behavior were observed along with the drop of average grain size. Mössbauer spectra were fitted by the model assuming cycloidal modulation of spins arrangement and properties of the spin cycloid were determined and analyzed. Most importantly, it was proved that the spin cycloid does not disappear even in the case of the samples with a particle size well below the cycloid modulation period λ = 62 nm. Furthermore, the cycloid becomes more anharmonic as the grain size decreases. The possible origination of weak ferromagnetism of the nanocrystalline samples has also been discussed.

Abstract In this paper, we reported the synthesis of NiO NPs and Mg doped-NiO NPs using the facile sol-gel method. Besides, the influence of the variation of Mg dopant on the structural, morphological and optical properties of the prepared Mg-NiO NPs was studied. The synthesized Mg-NiO NPs nanoparticles were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The X-ray diffraction confirmed the formation of the cubic structure of Mg doped-NiO NPs after doping with the magnesium. The increase in the crystal size was observed with the increase in the concentration of the Mg dopant element. The FESEM images reveal the formation of nickel oxide through the appearance of spherical clusters, while the hybrids appear as wrinkled surface covered with spherical particles of magnesium. The UV-Vis spectrum showed a shift towards shorter wavelengths with an increase in the concentration of the Mg dopant element due to the quantum confinement effect. The hemolysis activity study showed that NiO NPs had a low hemolysis percentage of 1.47% and increased with increasing concentration. While, increasing of the RBC hemolysis (5.9%) after NiO doped with Mg. The antibacterial activity was studied against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa bacteria, and indicated the highest growth inhibition zones of Mg-doped NiO NPs as compared with NiO NPs against of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively.

The properties influencing the photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 particles have been suggested to include the surface area, crystallinity, crystallite size and crystal structure. Therefore, manipulation of the microstructure of titania, especially of nanocrystalline powders, is very important in the preparative process. In this study, nanocrystalline TiO 2 powders with controlled particle size and phase composition were synthesized at low temperature (<80°C) by a modified sol–gel method. The effects of gelation temperature were systematically investigated. It was found that this parameter played a critical role in determining the crystallinity of single phase anatase. With increasing gelation temperature, the crystallinity of anatase improved initially and then decreased if the temperature was raised to 80°C. These nanomaterials were characterized comprehensively by powder X-ray diffraction (including Rietveld analysis), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, DSC/TGA thermal analysis and UV–Vis spectrometry.
