In this study, TiO2nanopowder was synthesized via a sol-gel grinding method. The effects of TiO2precursor concentration of TiO2nanopowder were investigated. The TiO2nanopowder obtained were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) for their structural properties. From the calculation of the crystallite size in XRD, the size of the nanoparticles obtained is 49.55 nm at the highest TiO2precursor concentration. In contrast, at the lower concentration of 0.4 molar give the cryatallite size of 12.84 nm. Further, XRD and Raman spectrum results confirmed the TiO2nanopowder obtain composed of only anatase phase. The FESEM micrographs of TiO2nanopowder also were discussed in this paper.

Star-like CuO with submicrometer sizes was fabricated via a simple liquid-phase deposition with the assistant of PVP and Na2MoO4. The as-prepared CuO have been characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the as-prepared CuO owned monoclinic structure, the concentrations of PVP, Na2MoO4 and NaOH are very important to the morphology of CuO. The quality of PVP impacts the formation of thin flakes on the skeletons. Meanwhile, the growth of dendritic skeletons was depended on the addition of Na2MoO4, and the effect of NaOH is to control the dimension of CuO structure.

Sodium based batteries presented a new and promising battery system. This work attempted to develop NaCoO2 material using a new sol-gel method. The characterization of this sodium based material was done by using Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). Cyclic voltammetry showed that the material exhibit reversible oxidation and reduction peaks which meant that a sodium based battery was possible for this material. Electrochemical charge-discharge profile was performed to study the voltage plateaus exhibited by the material. It showed discharge plateaus of between 3.2 to 2.3 V and another plateau at 0.6 V.

Biphasic calcium phosphate powders doped with zinc (Zn-doped BCP) were synthesized via sol-gel technique. Different concentrations of Zn have been successfully incorporated into biphasic calcium (BCP) phases namely: 1%, 2%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10% and 15%. The synthesized powders were calcined at temperatures of 700-900°C. The calcined Zn-doped BCP powders were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential and thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTA) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the phases present in Zn-doped are hydroxyapatite, β- TCP and parascholzite. Moreover, FTIR analysis of the synthesized powders depicted that the bands of HPO4 increased meanwhile O-H decreased with an increase in the calcination temperature. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) results showed the agglomeration of particles into microscale aggregates with size of the agglomerates tending to increase with an increase in the dopant concentration.

A sol-gel method was applied to prepare precursors for NdBa2Cu3O7-x (Nd-123) and SmBa2Cu3O7-x (Sm-123) superconducting compounds. The sintered products were examined by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The powders sintered at 950 and 1000 ?C showed the formation of monophasic Nd-123 and Sm-123 superconductors. The formation of Nd-123 and Sm-123 phases from the sol-gel derived precursors at higher temperatures (1050 and 1100 ?C), however, did not proceed due to the melting process. The correlation between the TC for different lanthanides (Ln Ho, Nd and Sm) in the Ln-123 compound and orthorhombicity and oxygen stoichiometry were also estimated.

From the aspect of their chemical and mineralogical composition, bauxites are very complex multicomponent raw materials. The paper presents the characterization of bauxite from several different deposits: Brazil, Milići, Čitluk and Kosovo. Chemical characteristics were determined by a combination of different analytical methods: gravimetry, potentiometric titration, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and UV-VIS spectrophotometry. Mineralogical composition was determined using X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis methods. Chemical and structural characterization is complemented by the results of scanning electron microscopy with EDX analysis. The information obtained was used for the assessment of the quality of investigated bauxites from the aspect of their application in the production of alumina.

Cu2MnSnS4 thin film was successfully prepared by a sol-gel technique on soda lime glass substrate from metal salts and thiourea. The structural and morphological properties of the fabricated film were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The combination of the X-ray diffraction results and Raman spectroscopy reveal that this obtained layer is composed by Cu2MnSnS4 phase and has a stannite structure with preferential orientation along the (112) direction. The scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy results show that the synthesized thin film is smooth and compact without any visible cracks or pores. The band gap of the Cu2MnSnS4 thin film is about 1.29 eV determined by the UV-vis-NIR absorption spectra measurement, which indicates it has potential applications in solar cells.

(100-x) LiCF3SO3 + (x) CeO2 composite electrolytes were prepared using sol-gel technique followed by sintering at 300 °C for four hours. Structural property and conductivity of the prepared composite electrolytes were studied using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) analysis and Impedance Spectroscopy. The XRD spectra show only crystalline peaks of CeO2 indicating that LiCF3SO3 exists in the form of amorphous phase. This is confirmed by SEM and EDX analyses. The highest ionic conductivity at room temperature is found to be in the order of 10-3 S cm-1 for the composite of 70 mol % LiCF3SO3 - 30 mol % CeO2. The conductivity of the composite electrolytes is observed to increase gradually with temperature.

The present study was undertaken to study the effect of calcinate temperature on characteristics of hydroxyapatite synthesized from the fish scale (FHAp). The FHAp calcined at different temperatures starting from 100 up to 300 °C. The structures of FHAP were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The analytical results show that the FHAp quality increased as the calcin temperature increased. The FHAp displayed excellent characteristics in term of particle size, morphology and properties and crystalinity after calcined at 300 °C, FHAp 300. From this study, it founded that 300 °C is the lowest calcin temperature could be applied to synthesize high quality of HAp from fish scale biowaste.
