Introduction: Zirconia (ZrO2) is a metal-free substance that rapidly improving as dental materials that has a good properties which are high biocompatibility, esthetics, and strength. Addition of a stabilizer like CaO will increase the mechanical properties of zirconia due to the transformation toughening. Methods: The Calcia Partially Stabilized Zirconia (Ca-PSZ) nanoparticles can be synthesized by using sol gel technique. This method makes easier to control the purity, homogeneity and physical characteristics at low temperature. This method consists of two stages, hydrolysis and condensation. The precursor were used  Zirconium Chloride (ZrCl4) with 0,1 M concentration and Calcia as stabilizer with 7% concentration. The addition of Calcia will help the tetragonal crystals forming at low temperature. Calcination temperature was used 900o C. To prevent conglomeration or agglomeration, dispersants are needed. One of the dispersants available is chitosan. Results: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis identifies that there are tetragonal and monoclinic phase with a percentage of 85% and 15% perspectively for sample without using chitosan and 100% tetragonal for sample that using chitosan. Analysis of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) results that particles with chitosan are more homogenous and dispersed with smaller size produced compared to particles without chitosan. Conclusion: From the results of the analysis, Ca-PSZ with sol-gel technique can produce nanoparticle and addition of  chitosan  can dispersed nanoparticles that could be used as material restoration and rehabilitation component  in dentistry.

A new lithium cobalt oxyhydroxide compound has been successfully synthesized. This new compound has been found to be related to the low temperature LiCoO2 (LT-LiCoO2) spinel structure formed at low processing temperatures. With the use of a modified sol-gel approach, this compound with the composition of LiCo2O3(OH) can be successfully synthesized at around 150 °C. Structural analyses using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) suggest a cubic-spinel structure, which is also supported by FT-IR and TG/DTA analyses. In addition, from the TEM morphological analysis, a very fine nanograined LiCo2O3(OH) powder with an average grain size of 5 nm has been obtained. From these results, the presence of OH or water at low processing temperatures promotes a favorable formation of this structure. At higher temperatures (>400 °C), the phase transforms to a layered high-temperature LiCoO2 (HT-LiCoO2) structure with the excess cobalt precipitated as Co3O4 as suggested by the in-situ high temperature XRD analysis.

Pure TiO2, Nd3+doped TiO2 and Nd 3+-CTAB co-doped TiO2 nanometer thin films were prepared by the sol-gel technique with tetrabutyl titanate and neodymium nitrate as raw materials and surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as template. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-Visible absorbance spectroscopy (UV-Vis). The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange. The results show that the all samples calcined at 500°C are all anatase, and there are slight red shifts of the Nd3+doped TiO2 and Nd3+-CTAB co-doped TiO2 films compared with pure TiO2 films and the red shift of Nd 3+-CTAB co-doped TiO2 is more obvious than that of Nd 3+ doped TiO2, which is beneficial to improve the photocatalytic efficiency. The1.0% Nd3+-CTAB co-doped TiO2 nanometer film calcined at 500°C had excellent photocatalytic efficiencies and the degradation rate of the film is more than 90% after 120 min.

In this paper, a low-temperature self-mixing combustion synthesis method was introduced to prepare spinel LiMn2O4. Low-melting raw materials and fuel (acetate salts as starting materials and urea as fuel) were molten to a homogeneous liquid mixture at ~100°C. The mixture was then ignited and calcined at a higher temperature, final products were obtained. The products were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electric microscope (SEM). XRD analysis indicated that product with higher purity was obtained at 550°C for 5h when the molar ratio of Li:Mn:urea=1:2:4. The impurity Mn2O3 was appeared in the products when the igniting temperature >600°C, and the content of Mn2O3 increased with the increasing igniting temperatures. SEM investigation indicated that the particles of the products were small and agglomerated. The igniting temperature monitoring indicated that the combustion reaction rate increased with increasing igniting temperature, and this did not favor for the formation of LiMn2O4.

Anatase TiO2 powders doped with different amounts of Cu2+ ions (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 4 mol%) were successfully synthesized by sol-gel method from precursors of TiCl4, (CH3COO)2Cu. Effect of Cu2+ concentrations on the structural and optical properties of TiO2 host was investigated by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and diffuse reflection spectroscopy. The XRD analysis showed that the doped samples exhibit anatase single phase at annealing temperature 600 oC.  The Cu2+ contents did not affect on the lattice of TiO2 hot, but affected on positions of these Raman modes. The band gap of the TiO2:Cu2+ was decreased with the increase of doping concentration.

In order to improve the osteoblast growth and bacteria resistance, Zn-containing hydroxyapatite (Zn-HA) and titanium oxide (TiO2) composite coatings were prepared to improve binding between coating and Ti substrate. TiO2 film was prepared on the surface of Ti by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) and Zn-HA coating was deposited on TiO2 using sol–gel technique. Phase structure, composition and microstructure of the surface coatings were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS), respectively. The adhesion strength between the coatings with different Zn content was measured by tensile testing. The results showed that there was no significant influence of Zn content on adhesion strength between coating and Ti substrate.

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.

ABSTRACTThin films of SrBi2Nb2O9 (SBN) with thicknesses of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 μ were grown by Sol-gel technique on silicon, and annealed at 650°C. The SBN films were investigated by Raman scatering for the first time. Raman spectra in some of the samples present bands around 60, 167, 196, 222, 302, 451, 560, 771, 837, and 863 cm−1, which correspond to the SBN formation. The study indicates that the films are inhomogeneous, and only in samples with thicknesses 0.4 μ the SBN material was found in some places. The prominent Raman band around 870 cm−1, which is the A1g mode of the orthorhombic symmetry, is assigned to the symmetric stretching of the NbO6 octahedrals. The frequency of this band is found to shift in different places in the same sample, as well as from sample to sample. The frequency shifts and the width of the Raman bands are discussed in term of ions in non-equilibrium positions. FT-IR spectra reveal a sharp peak at 1260 cm−1, and two broad bands around 995 and 772 cm−1. The bandwidths of the latter two bands are believed to be associated with the presence of a high degree of defects in the films. The experimental results of the SBN films are compared with those obtained in SBT (T=Ta) films. X-ray diffraction and SEM techniques are also used for the structural characterization.

Higher magnetic Mn doped Zn-Cr oxide nanoparticles with general compositional formula MxZn0.95-xCr0.05O have been synthesized by using sol-gel auto combustion technique. Room temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique has been employed to study the structural and microstructural parameters of the as-prepared samples. XRD analysis confirms the phase purity and hexagonal wurtzite structure of all the samples. Replacement of Zn2+ ions by Mn2+ ions shifts peak positions slightly towards the lower angles which in turn expands the lattice lengths ‘a’ from 3.2487 to 3.2528 Å and ‘c’ from 5.2043 to 5.2118 Å. Crystallite size obtained from Scherrer equation was confirmed by Williamson – Hall (W-H) and size – strain plot methods (SSP). Both W-H and SSP methods reveals the tensile type strain for undoped sample and comprehensive type strain for Mn2+ doped samples. Magnetic properties were investigated by using vibrating sample magnetometer. Diluted ferromagnetic behaviour is observed for all the samples and saturation magnetization (MS) increases from 0.0514 to 0.1163 emu/gm. Two-probe technique was employed to understand the dielectric behaviour of the samples as a function of frequency. At lower frequency region, both dielectric constant () and dielectric loss tangent (tan ) shows higher values and decreases with the increasing applied frequency.

Aluminum titanate (Al2TiO5) powder has been synthesized at low temperature via nonhydrolytic sol-gel method by using aluminum powder as aluminum source, titanium tetrachloride as titanium source, anhydrous ethanol as oxygen donor with different catalysts. The phase transformation of aluminum titanate xerogel powder during heat treatment and the influence of the mixing orders of raw materials, catalyst kinds on the synthesis of aluminum titanate were investigated by means of differential-thermal analysis (DTA-TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results indicated that aluminum titanate powder was easily synthesized at 750 °C by using AlCl3 as catalyst with a mixing order of adding TiCl4 before AlCl3 into aluminum alcohol mixture. The catalytic order of the different catalysts in the preparation process of aluminum titanate is: FeCl3> AlCl3> MgCl2. The catalyst promoted the activation of metal aluminum powder and played a major role in the synthesis of aluminum titanate powder at low temperature via nonhydrolytic sol-gel method.


High purity barium titanate BaTiO3 was successfully synthesized by using the sol-gel technique. Barium acetate Ba(CH3COO)2 and tetrabutyl titanate, Ti(C4H9O)4 was dissolved moderately in the solvent of glacial acetic acid and ethanol was added as the chemical modifier. The synthesized BaTiO3 nanoparticle was calcined at the temperature range of 700 ºC to 1100 ºC. The powders were further characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fined BaTiO3 powders result indicates the phase of tetragonal structures and high crystallites of BaTiO3. It was observed that the crystallinity and particle size of BaTiO3 is greatly influenced by the calcination temperature.
