Nanoparticles with about 20nm diameter were densely coated on the surface of submicron Al via a sol-gel processing in ethanol, wherein 1,2-epoxypropane acted as a weak base to consume proton in solution. After the medium gelled, uniform network formed and aluminum particles imbedded in it. The core-shell structure and the nanoparticles were observed in SEM analysis. The EDS spectrum and the XRD pattern revealed that the cores consisted of amorphous ferri-oxide of which the mass ratio is closed to that of crystal Fe2O3. Thermal analysis was performed and the results indicated that the DSC peak point of ferri-oxide/Al nanocomposite showed 53 °C lower than that of [ferri-oxide+A simple mixture.

Abstract SiC/Cu composite powders with the barrier coating of SiC-Al onto SiC powders were synthesized from Al-containing polycarbosilane precursor and Cu-nitrate hydrate. Curing at 200°C and high temperature pyrolysis at 1600°C was used to achieve the crystallization of precursor, forming the SiC-Al coating on the surface of SiC powders. A core-shell structure with the core of SiC and the shell of Cu was constructed by calcination and hydrogen-reduction of Cu nitrate hydrate. XRD and SEM analysis revealed that the β-SiC and 4H-SiC phases were formed on the surface of the initial α-SiC powders. Also, it was observed by EDX mapping that core powders of SiC were homogeneously surrounded with the fine Cu particles on their surface.

Aluminum pigments were encapsulated by hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and methyltriethoxysilane (MTES). The influences of solvents and ratio of MTES/TEOS on corrosion inhibition performance were studied. The FTIR, XPS and SEM analysis showed that both TEOS and MTES hydrolyzed and condensed at the same time to form a compact and thin sol-gel layer on the surface of aluminum pigments. Aluminum pigments encapsulated by MTES and TEOS, which can hardly generate H2 in acid media of pH=1 within 12h, show greatly excellent corrosion resistance than that only by TEOS or by MTES, due to the formation of a compact and thin hybrid film to protect aluminum particles from corrosive media.

Spherical submicron SiO2 particles have been coated with luminescent Lu2O3: Eu3+ layers by a Pechini sol-gel process, resulting in the formation of SiO2@Lu2O3: Eu3+ core-shell particles(300, 500 nm). The obtained core–shell phosphors have perfect spherical shape with narrow size distribution, smooth surface and non-agglomeration. The thickness of shells could be easily controlled by changing the number of deposition cycles (50 nm for four deposition cycles). Under the excitation of ultraviolet, the Eu3+ ion mainly shows its characteristic emissions in the core-shell particles from Lu2O3: Eu3+) shells. The PL intensity of Eu3+ increases with the number of coating cycles.

Abstract The porous colloidal nanocrystal framework material was synthesized by sol-gel assembly followed by a self-propagation procedure. The characteristics of the synthesized nanocrystal were confirmed by advanced instruments. From the DTG analysis, the poly (vinyl alcohol) was completely degraded at 400 °C. The XRD pattern and TEM image confirmed the nanoscale crystallite size of the material. BET and SEM analysis showed the mesoporous type pore size distribution. The predictable compositional analysis was confirmed from EDX, SAED, and XPS compositional analysis. Using the HSAB theory and HRTEM image analysis the formation of local heterojunction between metal oxides was approved.

Nanocrystalline GDC as small as 5 nm was successfully synthesized via the co-precipitation method. GDC/YSZ core-shell nanocrystals, which were GDC nanocrystals overcoated by a thin YSZ layer, was successfully synthesized by the addition of GDC nanocrystals in the YSZ source solution using sol-gel method. The core-shell structure was supported by its high-resolution transmission electron microscopy results and the composition was investigated by EDX method.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful tool in charge transfer (CT) process research. By analyzing the relative intensity of the characteristic bands in the bridging molecules, one can obtain detailed information about the CT between two materials. Herein, we synthesized a series of Au nanorods (NRs) with different length-to-diameter ratios (L/Ds) and used these Au NRs to prepare a series of core–shell structures with the same Cu2O thicknesses to form Au NR–4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA)@Cu2O core–shell structures. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption bands were adjusted by tuning the L/Ds of Au NR cores in these assemblies. SERS spectra of the core-shell structure were obtained under 633 and 785 nm laser excitations, and on the basis of the differences in the relative band strengths of these SERS spectra detected with the as-synthesized assemblies, we calculated the CT degree of the core–shell structure. We explored whether the Cu2O conduction band and valence band position and the SPR absorption band position together affect the CT process in the core–shell structure. In this work, we found that the specific surface area of the Au NRs could influence the CT process in Au NR–MBA@Cu2O core–shell structures, which has rarely been discussed before.
