In this paper, Hf element was introduced into the Si-O-C network by the sol-gel method using the dimethyldiethoxysiloxane (DMDES, (CH3)2Si(OC2H5)2) and hafnium tetra(n-butoxide) (HfOR, Hf(OC4H9)4) as raw materials. The SiOC/HfO2 ceramic composite was obtained by pyrolyzing Si-Hf-O-C gel at 1000 °C in argon. FT-IR spectra revealed the presence of Si-O-Hf peaks at 932 cm-1. The weight loss of the as-prepared SiOC/HfO2 was about 0.2 wt.% under argon atmorsphere up to 1550 °C, which was much lower than the hafnia-free SiOC composites and exhibited a remarkable improved thermal stability.

The La0.75Sr0.25Cr0.5Mn0.5O3-δnanometer powders were prepared by citric acid sol-gel method.The samples were characterized by DTA, FT-IR, XRD, TEM techniques. The preparation process, morphology of synthesized powders, the best heat-treatment temperature and the electrochemical performance had been studied. The results show that the spherical nanometer powders can be obtained and the best heat-treatment temperature is 800°C. The particle size is about 30nm and Ea is 0.071 eV.

Calcium stones are most commonly occurring form of cholelithiasis or gallbladder stones most one of the oldest and common afflictions of humans. Calcium phosphate is dissolved minerals in causes of renal to gallbladder stone in both human and animals. Of course, the calcium phosphate is one of the components of gallbladder. Calcium phosphate doped with (Cu and Mg) are crystals are grown by sol-gel method. In the present work the growth and characterization of pure and doped with (Cu and Mg) crystals. The grown crystals were characterization by FT-IR, SEM-EDX and TG/DTA analysis.

Metal oxide nano-composites plays a very important role in many areas of chemistry, physics and material science. This paper explains the synthesis and comparison of zinc and zirconium doped TiO2 metal oxide nano-composites and their different properties. Here the sol-gel method is used to synthesis both the nano-composites. Nano-composites have been characterized with XRD, AFM, Zetasizer & potential and FT-IR studies. XRD study revealed good crystallinity with the size range of 30 nm – 45 nm for both nano-composites. AFM studies also revealed the same. FTIR study reports the characteristics peaks of synthesised nano-composites.

Bioactive glasses have widely used in biomedical applications such as bone filler due to their excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity and osteoconduction characteristics. In this work, a silicate-rich glass was synthesized by the sol-gel method with 60% SiO2 – 30%CaO – 10% MgO composition where fumed silica acts as the silica precursor. This new method was hypothesized to reduce the gel formation time, due to the high surface area of the fumed silica. In addition, this would presumably increase the nanoporosity of the glass. For comparison purposes, we used a glass of the same composition, but with the conventional silica precursor, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), through the sol gel method. Both were heat treated at 450°C. FT-IR analysis before and after heat treatment at 450°C showed the presence of nitrate groups, especially in the TEOS samples. This is consistent with the more hygroscopic aspect of those samples. The fumed silica samples had significantly less pronounced peaks corresponding to the nitrate groups, consistent with the more porous structure and the less hygroscopic aspect. The fumed silica samples indeed had a lower gelling time and showed similar results obtained by XRD and FT-IR analyses, showing that the use of fumed silica is viable and advantageous in the glass synthesis by the sol-gel process

Ferroelectric Pb(ZrTi)O3 (PZT) nanotubes were prepared by sol–gel method and porous anodic alumina (PAA) membrane using spin-coating technique. This method is based on filling-pyrolysis-filling process and the use of one-stage alumina membranes. One of the advantages of this method is its rapidity, which takes only 1 h time before the calcination step. The effect of repeated pores filling was investigated to get the required size of nanotubes. The field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) images were shown that the PZT nanotubes have inner diameters in the range of 65–90 nm and length of about 50–60 [Formula: see text]m. This means that the samples have a significant aspect ratio (700–800). Also the FE-SEM image confirmed that the highly ordered, hexagonally distributed PAA membranes with the pore diameter about 140–150 nm were formed. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that the PZT nanotubes have a tetragonal structure. The metal oxide bands like ZrO6 and TiO6 of the final PZT nanotubes were detected by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis and confirmed the formation of perovskite structure. By using FT-IR spectroscopy and Kramers–Kronig transformation method, the optical constants like real [Formula: see text]([Formula: see text]) and imaginary [Formula: see text]([Formula: see text]) parts of dielectric function, extinction coefficient k([Formula: see text]) and refractive index n([Formula: see text]) were determined. It was shown that the optical constants of PZT nanotubes are different from PZT nanoparticles.

N, Fe co-doped TiO2 photocatalyst was synthesized by sol-gel method. The catalyst prepared was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). The results showed that the N, Fe co-doped TiO2 prepared had the anatase structure. The absorption edge of the photocatalyst shifted to longer wavelength and photocatalytic activity for degradation of Methylene blue (MB) under Xe-lamp (350 W) was much more active than un-doped TiO2, N-TiO2 Fe-TiO2 and P-25.

Ag/ZnO nanocomposite photocatalysts with high photocatalytic performance were successfully synthesized via a facile sol-gel method. The prepared Ag/ZnO products were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, FT-IR, BET surface area, TG and DSC. Photodegradation experiments of the samples were carried out by choosing Methylene Blue (MB) as a model target under UV irradiation with homemade photocatalytic apparatus. Among these products, when the molar ratio of Ag to ZnO was fixed at 0.07 and the calcination temperature was around 450 °C, the obtained samples exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity.
