This manuscript is focused on the relationship between sol-gel synthesis processes and the development of new active phases with fitted morphology, porosity and surface chemistry. The influence of the above parameters on the catalytic performance of the prepared materials for the aromatization of n-hexane to benzene is also evaluated. Different series of catalysts were prepared, either using noble metals (i.e., Pt) or metal oxides (i.e., Mo, W), as active phases. In both cases, the catalytic performance and stability of classical aromatization catalysts was significantly improved. Interesting one-pot carboreduction process of the metal oxide during carbonization is suggested as a real alternative for the preparation of high-performance aromatization catalysts, leading to the formation of less acidic and non-stoichiometric oxides and carbides.

Abstract In the current work gold catalysts supported on both commercial oxides and oxides synthesized by the sol-gel method were used for the one-pot alcohol amination of myrtenol. In general, utilization of metal oxides synthesized by the sol-gel method as the gold catalyst support enhanced the knowledge regarding key parameters determining catalytic behavior. Synthesized alumina was characterized by stronger acid sites favoring primary amine accumulation on the catalyst surface, as compared to the commercial oxide. Utilization of mixed metal oxides synthesized by the sol-gel method resulted in the non-additive behavior of different oxides enhancing the catalytic activity. Introduction of ceria into alumina modified the support basicity resulting in more efficient alcohol activation.

Abstract Curcumin is a natural active principle with antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Its use is limited by a low water solubility and fast degradation rate, which hinder its bioavailability. To overcome this problem, curcumin can be delivered through a carrier, which protects the drug molecule and enhances its pharmacological effects. The present work proposes a simple one-pot sol–gel synthesis to obtain a hybrid carrier for curcumin delivery. The hybrid consists of a mesostructured matrix of amorphous silica, which stabilizes the carrier, and hexadecyltrimethylammonium (CTA), a surfactant where curcumin is dissolved to increase its water solubility. The carrier was characterized in terms of morphology (FESEM), physicochemical properties (XRD, FTIR, UV spectroscopy) and release capability in pseudo-physiological solutions. Results show that curcumin molecules were entrapped, for the first time, in a silica-surfactant mesostructured hybrid carrier. The hybrid carrier successfully released curcumin in artificial sweat and in a phosphate buffer saline solution, so confirming its efficacy in increasing curcumin water solubility. The proposed drug release mechanism relies on the degradation of the carrier, which involves the concurrent release of silicon. This suggests strong potentialities for topical administration applications, since curcumin is effective against many dermal diseases while silicon is beneficial to the skin.

ABSTRACTA comparison of the use of three different coordination compounds of copper as precursors for the sol-gel synthesis of YBa2Cu3O7-δ has been made. For yttrium, the tris(isopropoxide) was used exclusively, while the use of both Ba(O-i-Pr)2 and Ba(OCH2CH2OEt)2 (prepared in situ from Ba metal) as sources for Ba were studied. After dissolving Y(O-i-pr)3, a Ba source, and the copper(I) alkoxide, [Cu(O-i-Bu)]4, hydrolysis led immediately to an orange gelatinous solid which yielded YBa2Cu3O7-δ upon firing in oxygen. Copper(II) acetate was found to give heterogeneous mixtures under our conditions and was not further studied. Copper(II) acac (acac = acetylacetonate) yielded the best results. Partially hydrolyzed solutions of Cu(acac)2, Ba(OCH2CH2OEt)2, and Y(O-i-pr)3 were spin coated on SrTi03 (100) and fired under oxygen to give oriented (b axis normal to the surface) thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-δ. The onset of superconductivity for the films was 92 K, but they did not reach zero resistance until much lower temperatures.
