Zirconium silicate thin film was prepared via a novel non-hydrolytic sol-gel (NHSG) process at low temperature using zirconium tetrachloride (ZrCl4) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as precursors. The phase composition and the microstructure of samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The results demonstrate that pure ZrSiO4 film can be synthesized by using ethanol and isopropanol as solvent rather than dimethyl formamide (DMF) and dimethyl nylon acid (DBE) which cause impurity ZrO2. However, only ethanol can achieved smooth and dense ZrSiO4 film. The viscosity results suggest that the sol with ethanol has great stability. With a pulling rate of 1.0 mm s-1, a high quality ZrSiO4 film was prepared after drying at 50 oC for 2 h and calcination at 850 °C with a heating rate of 1.0 °C min-1.

Biomorphic silicon carbide (bioSiC) was prepared by high temperature pyrolysis and sol-gel and carbothermal reduction processing at 1600 oC. The morphology and microstructure of carbon-silica composites and purified bioSiC samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The phase composition of the resulting sample was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The results suggest that the bioSiC mainly consists of cubic ß-SiC, and principally replicates the shape and microstructure of the carbon template.

Aluminium borate nanowhiskers with varying aspect ratio were synthesized via sol–gel synthesis. The morphology of aluminum borate (Al4B2O9 and Al18B4O33) nanowhiskers could be controlled by varying the aluminum to boron (Al:B) molar ratio in the sol–gel derived precursors. Sintering temperatures (850 and 1100°C) and sintering times (4 and 32 hours) also affected the phase composition and size of the nanowhiskers. Citric acid was also added in the sol–gel derived precursors as a surface stabilizer for obtaining uniform finely dispersed nanostructures. Fine nanowhiskers were obtained by the calcination at 850°C, whereas higher temperature of 1100°C led to thicker and longer nanowhiskers and became rod-like crystals. The morphology and phase composition were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. Chemical bond vibrations in the synthesized nanowhiskers were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.

AbstractA nanocomposite of 0.5SnO2–0.5Al2O3 has been synthesized using a sol-gel route. Structural and optical properties of the nanocomposite have been discussed in detail. Powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction spectroscopy confirm the phase purity and the particle size of the 0.5SnO2–0.5Al2O3 nanocomposite (13 to 15 nm). The scanning electron microscopy also confirms the porosity in the sample, useful in sensing applications. The FT-IR analysis confirms the presence of physical interaction between SnO2 and Al2O3 due to the slight shifting and broadening of characteristic bands. The UV-Vis analysis confirms the semiconducting nature because of direct transition of electrons into the 0.5SnO2–0.5Al2O3 nanocomposites.

In this paper, a novel and highly efficient hydroxyapatite (HA) carrier for cultivating hydrocarbon degradation bacteria (HDB) is introduced. The HA particles synthesized through a sol-gel method and different heat treatments were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and BET method. The microbial amount and activities of HDB cultivated on HA carriers were quantitatively investigated in order to assess their enriching capabilities. The results showed that HA synthesized at 550°C and the one without calcination could enrich HDB 3 and 2 magnitude orders more than the activated carbon, respectively. Mechanisms of bacterial enrichment on HA and activated carbon were also studied, and it is believed that the high bioactivity and the surface morphology of HA were responsible for the efficient reproduction of HDB. It is concluded that HA is a potential candidate to replace the conventionally used activated carbon as a novel carrier applied in the filed of bioremediation for oil contaminated soil.

In this study, we present the process of synthesis FexNi1-xMn2O4 (x = 0; 0.1; 0.3; 0.5; 0.7; 0.9; 1) by method sol-gel. Scanning electron microscope results shows that the particle size is about 50 nm. The X-ray diffraction diagram shows that the samples are single phase, changing structure clearly as the x ratio increases from 0 to 1. The lattice constant, the bond length also changes with x-value as shown on the Raman scattering spectrum. The results of the vibrating sample magnetometer show that the magnetism of the material FexNi1-xMn2O4 changes with the value of x and reaches a maximum in the range x from 0.5 to 0.7.

Tributyl borate was first adopted for the introduction of boron in the preparation of bioactive borosilicate xerogel by sol-gel method. The xerogel reacted continuously in 0.25M K2HPO4 solution with a starting pH value of 7.0 at 37 °C for 1day. The structural, morphologies and compositional changes resulting from the conversion were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results indicated that speed of formation of HA was cut way back on the time with the addition of boron and the induction period for the HA nucleation on the surface of the borosilicate xerogel was short than 1 days. The conversion mechanism of the borosilicate xerogels to hydroxyapaptite was also discussed.

Dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) nanoparticles, also known as brushite, are considered an important bioceramic compound. In this study, brushite was prepared from Moroccan phosphogypsum (PG) using a new sol-gel method. A two-step technique undergoes the synthesis of brushite, the preparation of anhydrite from PG followed by adding phosphoric acid in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The morphology, the chemical composition, and the crystallites size were obtained using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM-EDAX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. According to the Debye-Scherrer equation, these characterization methods indicated that the synthesized brushite was highly pure according to the Ca/P ratio of 1.14 and an average crystallites size estimated at 66 nm. These results proved that the brushite was successfully synthesized from Moroccan phosphogypsum.
