In this study, TiO2nanopowder was synthesized via a sol-gel grinding method. The effects of TiO2precursor concentration of TiO2nanopowder were investigated. The TiO2nanopowder obtained were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) for their structural properties. From the calculation of the crystallite size in XRD, the size of the nanoparticles obtained is 49.55 nm at the highest TiO2precursor concentration. In contrast, at the lower concentration of 0.4 molar give the cryatallite size of 12.84 nm. Further, XRD and Raman spectrum results confirmed the TiO2nanopowder obtain composed of only anatase phase. The FESEM micrographs of TiO2nanopowder also were discussed in this paper.

Sodium based batteries presented a new and promising battery system. This work attempted to develop NaCoO2 material using a new sol-gel method. The characterization of this sodium based material was done by using Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). Cyclic voltammetry showed that the material exhibit reversible oxidation and reduction peaks which meant that a sodium based battery was possible for this material. Electrochemical charge-discharge profile was performed to study the voltage plateaus exhibited by the material. It showed discharge plateaus of between 3.2 to 2.3 V and another plateau at 0.6 V.


Abstract: The photocatalytic composite Fe doped AC/TiO2 has been prepared by sol-gel method. The prepared Fe doped AC/TiO2 composite were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).The SEM analysis showed that Fe and TiO2 were attached to the Activated Carbon surfaces. The X-Ray Diffraction data showed that Fe doped AC/TiO2 composite mostly contained anatase phase.

This paper report the effect of milling time on the structural properties of TiO2nanopowder prepared from sol-gel milling process. The synthesized TiO2nanopowders have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). XRD result reveals that the TiO2nanopowder in anatase phase is detected. The morphology of the TiO2nanopowder change obviously with the increase of the milling time. Further, FTIR results found the sharp peaks of Ti-O-Ti and Ti-O bonding at below 600 cm-1for all TiO2nanopowder.

A sol-gel method was applied to prepare precursors for NdBa2Cu3O7-x (Nd-123) and SmBa2Cu3O7-x (Sm-123) superconducting compounds. The sintered products were examined by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The powders sintered at 950 and 1000 ?C showed the formation of monophasic Nd-123 and Sm-123 superconductors. The formation of Nd-123 and Sm-123 phases from the sol-gel derived precursors at higher temperatures (1050 and 1100 ?C), however, did not proceed due to the melting process. The correlation between the TC for different lanthanides (Ln Ho, Nd and Sm) in the Ln-123 compound and orthorhombicity and oxygen stoichiometry were also estimated.

Y 2 SiO 5: Ce 3+ particles was synthesized by sol–gel process. In all samples treated at 1100°C, monoclinic X 1 phase for all cerium concentration. Luminescence spectra shows broad Ce 3+ luminescence in Y 2 SiO 5 host, which picks around 450 nm. The synthesized and calcined powders were characterized by thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimeter (TG-DSC), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence spectra (PL).

The Fe3O4/TiO2-Ni composites have been prepared by incorporating magnetic particles with doped photoactive titania using sono-coprecipitation and sol-gel methods. The composite was characterised by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Disperse X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM) and Specular Reflectance Ultraviolet-Visible light spectroscopy (SR-UV). The results indicated that the composite of Fe3O4/TiO2-Ni had been synthesised. XRD and FTIR results showed that the composite had a good anatase phase. SEM-EDX result confirmed the atomic percentage of element presence in the synthesised product and VSM result proved that the composite has an excellent magnetisation moment of 8.76 emus. SR-UV result suggested that the composite had a good bandgap property compared to that of synthesised undoped titania.

Hardwood is wood from angiosperm trees. The characteristic of hardwood include flowers, endosperm within seeds and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. This paper aims to discuss the preparation and characterization of cellulose obtained from hardwood. The hardwood Merbau (Intsia bijuga) was chosen as raw material in this study. Alkaline treatment and delignification methods were used for the preparation of cellulose. Acid hydrolysis was employed to produce cellulose nanocrystal (CNC). The treated and untreated samples were characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The final product, from both trated and untreated samples were then compared.

BiFeO3 polyhedrons had been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared products were characterized by power X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The possible mechanisms for the formation of BiFeO3 polyhedrons were discussed. Though comparison experiments, it was found that the kind of precursor played a key role on the morphology control of BiFeO3 crystals.

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.
