The effect of microwave radiation on the hydrothermal synthesis of the double perovskite Sr2FeMoO6 has been studied based on a comparison of the particle size and structural characteristics of products from both methods. A temperature, pressure, and pH condition screening was performed, and the most representative results of these are herein presented and discussed. Radiation of microwaves in the hydrothermal synthesis method led to a decrease in crystallite size, which is an effect from the reaction temperature. The particle size ranged from 378 to 318 nm when pH was 4.5 and pressure was kept under 40 bars. According to X-ray diffraction (XRD) results coupled with the size-strain plot method, the product obtained by both synthesis methods (with and without microwave radiation) have similar crystal purity. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) techniques showed that the morphology and the distribution of metal ions are uniform. The Curie temperature obtained by thermogravimetric analysis indicates that, in the presence of microwaves, the value was higher with respect to traditional synthesis from 335 K to 342.5 K. Consequently, microwave radiation enhances the diffusion and nucleation process of ionic precursors during the synthesis, which promotes a uniform heating in the reaction mixture leading to a reduction in the particle size, but keeping good crystallinity of the double perovskite. Precursor phases and the final purity of the Sr2FeMoO6 powder can be controlled via hydrothermal microwave heating on the first stages of the Sol-Gel method.

Colloidal silica (silica sol) nanoparticles were synthesized by ammonia- and hydrochloric acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane with subsequent condensation and polymerization. Silica particles with the size of 12‒160 nm were obtained at different temperatures and ratios of the initial reactants and studied by means of TEM, AFM, IR spectroscopy and zeta-potential measurements. The reaction conditions providing the minimum particle size in the final product of the most complete hydrolysis were determined. At pH above 8.5, an increase in the SiO2 content of the sol to 23 wt.% did not change the particle size. At a low (~ 1.8 wt.%) SiO2 content of the sol, a wide variation in pH also did not exert a significant effect on the particle size. Stability of the silica sols synthesized in an alkaline medium was enhanced by the replacement of alcohol with water during evaporation at pH 8.5‒9.5. The possibility to produce silica sols with the required characteristics (particle size, pH, stability, purity, and SiO2 content in an aqueous or alcohol medium) makes them applicable in various industries.

A pseudoboehmite was obtained by sol-gel synthesis using aluminum nitrate as precursor. It was used a 2n full factorial design for studying the effect of the temperature of synthesis, the concentration of ammonium hydroxide, and the radiation dose in the product of sol-gel synthesis. The product of the synthesis was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction of the product (after firing the pseudoboehmite at different temperatures), and it was also analyzed the temperature of endothermic and exothermic transformations using the thermo gravimetric analysis (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The X-ray diffraction data show that α-alumina was obtained at 1100o C.

In this work, the sol-gel synthesis of AP40 bioactive glass system was reported. The obtained powder was fully characterised in terms of microstructure, composition and thermal behaviour by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA).In vitrodissolution tests were performed in order to assess the degradation behaviour of sol-gel derived AP40 samples thermally treated at different temperatures. Finally, preliminary results on cytocompatibility are reported, based on bioresorption activity of human peripheral blood monocytes differentiated into osteoclasts on sintered disks.

In this work, sol–gel auto-combustion technology is used to synthesize nanocrystalline Ni[Formula: see text]Cu[Formula: see text]Co[Formula: see text]Fe2O4 with high purity metal nitrate and citric acid as precursor solution. The prepared samples are sintered at different temperatures (400[Formula: see text]C, 500[Formula: see text]C, 600[Formula: see text]C, 700[Formula: see text]C, 800[Formula: see text]C, 900[Formula: see text]C, 1000[Formula: see text]C and 1100[Formula: see text]C) for 3.5 h. The structure and magnetic properties of the samples are characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The analysis of the XRD patterns confirms that all the samples have a single-phase cubic spinel structure. The particle size of the prepared samples (between 23 nm and 36 nm) is determined by the Scherrer equation. The effect of particle size is through observation of samples sintered at different temperatures. FT-IR spectroscopy shows the characteristic peak is near 588 cm[Formula: see text]. And the measurement also confirms the formation of spinel structure. The magnetic parameters of the samples are measured by VSM at room temperature with a maximum magnetic field of 1 T. Coercivity, remanent magnetization and saturation magnetization change with the changing sintering temperature. It can be clearly observed that the magnetic properties increase significantly with the temperature increasing from 600[Formula: see text]C to 700[Formula: see text]C. The dM/dH versus H curves are obtained by differentiating the hysteresis loop. The increasing peak height of dM/dH at [Formula: see text], indicates a magnetically stable state for the samples with good crystalline cubic spinel structure.

A sol-gel method is investigated to synthesize CuO – ZrO 2 nanoparticles as catalyst for hydrogen production from methanol. Finer precursor nanoparticles give rise to larger specific areas in catalyst which result in a high hydrogen production. The effects of some critical process parameters on the sol-gel synthesis of CuO – ZrO 2 nanoparticles are studied. These parameters are affected on synthesis of CuO – ZrO 2 when it is prepared with sol-gel method. Particle size and distribution are considered as the results. The parameters including the effect of calcination temperature, aging temperature, nature and concentration of catalyst (acidic or basic conditions), H 2 O /precursor molar ratio, and chelating agent that have been identified as most important, are focused. It is found that the calcination temperature strongly influenced the morphology and interaction between the active species and support, and hence the structure and catalytic performance. Nature and concentration of catalyst ( pH value), chelating agent, ( H 2 O /precursor) molar ratio and also aging temperature have influence on the nanoparticles. Thus, by controlling these factors, it is possible to vary the morphology and properties of the sol-gel-derived inorganic network over wide ranges. Morphology, particle size and distribution, phase evaluation, structure, and chemical analysis of the products are investigated by SEM, TEM, DTA/TG, XRD and EDX respectively.

Magnesium aluminate (MgAl2O4) spinel nanoparticles were prepared by non-hydrolytic sol-gel method using anhydrous alcohols as oxygen donor. XRD and FTIR were used to characterise the effect of anhydrous alcohols on synthesis of MgAl2O4 spinel nanoparticles.The results showed that when the oxygen donor used in stoichiometric ratio for synthesizing MgAl2O4, anhydrous ethanol was the more effective oxygen donor than anhydrous isopropanol. But there was no remarkable effect on synthesis of MgAl2O4 spinel when the amount of anhydrous ethanol exceeded the stoichiometric ratio. The mean particle size MgAl2O4 spinel nanoparticles was in the range of 40 to 50 nm.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) having particle size less than 10 nm can exhibit enhancement of surface area to give high activity such as in catalytic reaction. However, it is hard to synthesize AuNPs with small particle size due to the strong agglomeration. Herein we report that channels of mesoporous silica synthesized via the template sol-gel synthesis can be used to prepare AuNPs by calcination method. Mesoporous silica with an interpore distance of 4.1 nm was successfully fabricated as transparent thin film by using an amphiphilic trinuclear gold (I) pyrazolate complex as a template for the sol-gel synthesis. Upon calcination at 450 °C for 3 h, silica film nanocomposites showed red-shifting of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) bands from 518 (AuNPs from the bulk) to 544 nm owing to decreasing of the average particle size. The formation of AuNPs was also supported by the appearance of diffraction peaks of d111 at 2θ = 38.20° having a cubic phase. Moreover, transmission electron microscope (TEM) images and X-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks also showed smaller and more homogenous distribution of AuNPs.
