Abstract In this study, undoped and Magnesium doped TiO2 nanoparticles (Mg-TiO2 NPs) were successfully synthesized via a simple sol-gel method cost-effectively. The prepared Mg- TiO2 NPs were characterized by UV-Vis, FTIR, PL, XRD, FESEM, TEM, and EDAX. UV – Visible Spectroscopy showed that an increase in the optical bandgap concerning the concentration of dopant Mg increases. The bandgap values were found to be 3.57-3.54 eV. FTIR spectra showed that the presence of the characteristic stretching and bending vibrational band of Ti – O bonding at 468 cm-1 and shifts in vibrational bands were observed for Mg-TiO2 NPs. PL spectra of Mg- TiO2 NPs at different concentrations exhibit a strong UV emission band. X-ray diffraction confirmed the formation of the tetragonal anatase phase. The average crystallite size of prepared samples was found to be 22-19 nm. The average crystallite size of Mg- TiO2 NPs decreases with increasing the concentration of dopant Mg. The FESEM and TEM analysis confirmed that the spherical morphology for both TiO2 and Mg-TiO2 NPs. SAED pattern confirms the crystalline nature of prepared samples. EDAX spectra confirm the presence of Ti, O, and Mg and confirm that Mg2+ ions are present in the TiO2 lattices. The prepared samples were investigated against gram-positive (B. subtilis and S. aureus) and gram-negative (P. eugenia and K. Pneumonia) bacteria. The prepared samples showed potent antibacterial activity against gram-negative bacteria than the gram-positive bacteria. The prepared samples show the excellent photocatalytic degradation for Methylene blue.

ABSTRACTThe present study addressed the effect of the incorporation of Praseodymium species in the BiFeO3(BFO) structure on the corresponding structural and functional properties of powders and films. The level of the doping species varied from 0 at% to 4 at%. BFO powders and thin films were synthesized by a sol-gel method, where glycol was aggregated to the main solvent to increase the viscosity of the precursor solutions and promote their adhesion onto platinum substrates. The development of the host BFO structure was confirmed by XRD analyses of samples annealed at 700°C for one hour (powders) or 500°C for 2 hours (thin films), in air. The average crystallite size varied from 37 nm to 41 nm and 28nm to 40nm for powders and thin films, respectively, due to the increase of the doping level. The incorporation of specific dopant species played an important role in the ferromagnetic and ferroelectric behavior in the material.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a widely used and well studied photocatalyst synthesized using different methodologies, including sol-gel, which allows one to modify the material in a one-pot step. By using a microwave- and sonochemistry-assisted sol-gel method, x wt.% Au-TiO2 photocatalysts were successfully synthesized. Physicochemical characterization of the photocatalysts shows an average crystallite size of 10.5 nm and an even morphological distribution of spherical particles with the sonochemistry synthesis method. For the microwave method an average value of crystallite size of 8.3 nm was found and it presents an increase with the amount of Au load. The cyclic voltammetric response and Mott-Schottky analysis are consistent with a semiconductor material containing metallic particles and for a heterophase junction of anatase and brookite with oxygen vacancies, respectively. The photocatalytic activity was assessed by paracetamol degradation in an aqueous solution as model. The sonochemistry-synthesized photocatalysts display the most promising results as they have a better paracetamol removal and the amount of gold in the catalyst (0.7 wt.%) was found to be optimal for this process.

This study investigated the effect of cationic, anionic, and nonionic surfactants on the formation, morphology, and surface properties of TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized by modified sol-gel method. The crystalline structures and morphologies of the powder have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD results showed TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized with different surfactants only include anatase phase. The TEM analysis revealed the surfactants can enhance dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles. In contrast, the anionic surfactants showed hightly effects. The photocatalytic activity of samples was tested for degradation of methyl orange (MO) solutions. The results showed photocatalytic activity of the catalyst with surfactants was higher than pure TiO2 under ultraviolet.

AbstractNanocrystalline titanium dioxide particles with anatase structure and high thermal stability have been synthesized using the basic sol-gel method. The particle size and morphology were refined under hydrothermal conditions in the presence of different concentrations of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) at 210°C and 230°C. XRD and TEM analysis showed that the TiO2 particles obtained were homogeneous and monodispersive at low contents of TMAH. All intense peaks, clearly observed in the XRD patterns, were assigned to the anatase phase and no rutile phase was observed. At high contents of TMAH, nanoscale small (10–30 nm) and larger (>100 nm) TiO2 particles were one-pot synthesized. The nanocrystalline TiO2 particles synthesized by this method have good thermal stability. With the sintering temperature of up to 650°C, all the XRD peaks maintained good agreement with the anatase reference data.

AbstractIn this project, nanocrystalline SnO2 powders were successfully prepared by (a) citrate sol-gel and (b) direct precipitation methods. Powders were characterized using thermal analysis techniques (DTA-TG-DSC), X-ray powder Diffraction (XRD), surface area (BET) and electrical conductivity measurements. XRD patterns showed the presence of the cassiterite structure. SnO2 particles, prepared through sol-gel method exhibit crystallite sizes in the range from 3.1 to 22.3 nm when the gel is heat treated at different temperatures up to 900°C. SnO2 nanocrystallites prepared by the precipitation method are comparatively larger in size. The higher specific surface area was obtained for the powder prepared using sol-gel method and the obtained average grain size (d) is relatively large compared with that of the average crystallite size. The powders show a semiconducting behavior with increasing temperature. The higher conductivity obtained for SnO2 prepared by sol-gel method can be attributed to their smaller average crystallite size. XRD of alumina doped powder exhibits finer particles than pure SnO2. TEM images showed that the particles are spherical in shape and consist of a core of SnO2 surrounded by a coating of alumina. The calculated surface area was found to decrease with temperature increases. Due to the effective role of Al2O3 additive as a grain growth inhibitor for the matrix grains, the observed surface area for the coated materials are predominantly higher than for the uncoated materials.

The polycrystalline Ca0.9La0.05Bi0.05Mn1-xNixO3 (x = 0.025, 0.05, 0.075) samples were synthesized by sol-gel method. All samples were calcined at 650°C for 8 hours and sintered at 900°C for 8 hours. The structural and morphological properties of the samples were measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The rietveld refinement shows that all samples were having an orthorhombic structure with pnma space group despite having different Ni content. Furthermore, the average crystallite size decreases with Ni substituion. SEM result shows the average grain size decreases with increasing Ni substitution regardless of the same heat treatment. This result will affect other properties like electrical and magnetic properties.

The dye-pigments and organic compounds are known as significant pollutants in wastewater of textile industrial. Among of treatment technologies, the photocatalysis using TiO2 nano particles has potential on-site process for removing the dye-pigments and organic compounds, due to no hazardous waste and inexpensive. In this work, the TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by two different methods of hydrothermal and sol-gel. Nanoparticle of TiO2 synthesized by hydrothermal method contained pure anatase phase as similar as the TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized by sol-gel method. However, the TiO2 synthesized by hydrothermal method provided the higher specific surface area and pore volume rather than the another TiO2. Further, the high efficiency 86% of methylene blue photodegradation was observed during the by using TiO2 synthesized by hydrothermal method as photocatalyst, whereas the efficiency was only 72% for TiO2 synthesized by sol-gel method.

Pure titania ( TiO 2) nanopowders and TiO 2 doped with 10 mol % of vanadium ions ( V 3+) are synthesized by sol-gel method. The dependence of structural characteristics of nanopowders on synthesis conditions is investigated by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Very intensive modes observed in Raman spectra of all nanopowders are assigned to anatase phase of TiO 2. Additional Raman modes of extremely low intensity which can be related to the presence of small amount of brookite amorphous phase are observed in pure TiO 2 nanopowders. In V -doped nanopowders anatase was the only TiO 2 phase detected. The variations in duration and heating rate of calcination influence slightly the Raman spectra of pure TiO 2, but have a great impact on Raman modes of anatase, as well as the additional Raman modes related to the presence of vanadium oxides in V -doped samples.
