We fabricated new magnetic material CuFe2O4/Zn2Cr-LDH by the combination of CuFe2O4 and layered double hydroxide (LDH) through two steps. CuFe2O4 was prepared by sol-gel method with the assistant of citric acid, which was used in synthesis of the composite via microwave hydrothermal method subsequently. The physicochemical properties of the composite was characterized by several techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and Thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA). The magnetic composite reveals several advantage of LDH structure and spinel ferrite oxide and is potential for the application of heterogeneous catalysis.

A new magnetic Fe3O4/MO-intercalated-LDH composite has been synthesized by combination of Fe3O4, layered double hydroxide (LDH) and methyl orange (MO). Fe3O4/Zn2CrLDH and Fe3O4/MO-intercalated-LDH were obtained via two-step microwave hydrothermal and anion exchange method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were conducted to characterize the as-prepared samples. The latter exhibited that basal spacing of Zn2Cr-LDH is 1.18 nm. The value of saturation magnetization (Ms) is 20.5 emu/g. In addition, the amounts of adsorbed MO reached 1.54 mmol/g. Therefore, the material shows several advantages for the removal of pollutants.

ABSTRACTThin films of SrBi2Nb2O9 (SBN) with thicknesses of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 μ were grown by Sol-gel technique on silicon, and annealed at 650°C. The SBN films were investigated by Raman scatering for the first time. Raman spectra in some of the samples present bands around 60, 167, 196, 222, 302, 451, 560, 771, 837, and 863 cm−1, which correspond to the SBN formation. The study indicates that the films are inhomogeneous, and only in samples with thicknesses 0.4 μ the SBN material was found in some places. The prominent Raman band around 870 cm−1, which is the A1g mode of the orthorhombic symmetry, is assigned to the symmetric stretching of the NbO6 octahedrals. The frequency of this band is found to shift in different places in the same sample, as well as from sample to sample. The frequency shifts and the width of the Raman bands are discussed in term of ions in non-equilibrium positions. FT-IR spectra reveal a sharp peak at 1260 cm−1, and two broad bands around 995 and 772 cm−1. The bandwidths of the latter two bands are believed to be associated with the presence of a high degree of defects in the films. The experimental results of the SBN films are compared with those obtained in SBT (T=Ta) films. X-ray diffraction and SEM techniques are also used for the structural characterization.

A new type of lithium enriched cathode material Li (Li0.05Ni0.6Fe0.1Mn0.25)O2 was synthesized by sol-gel method with citric acid as a chelating agent. The structural and morphological studies were systematically investigated through X-ray diffraction, SEM with EDS, FT-IR and Raman analyses. The crystallite size of the Li (Li0.05Ni0.6Fe0.1Mn0.25)O2 cathode material was found to be 45 nm thereby leads to the feasible movement of lithium ion all through the material. FT-IR spectroscopy was used to confirm the metal-oxygen interaction in the prepared cathode material. The electrical properties of the Li (Li0.05Ni0.6Fe0.1Mn0.25)O2 cathode material were studied by impedance and dielectric spectral analyzes. Li (Li0.05Ni0.6Fe0.1Mn0.25)O2 showed a maximum ionic conductivity of 10-6 S/cm at ambient temperature.

Nanocomposites of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and layered double hydroxide (LDH) were prepared by in situ polymerization at low LDHs loadings in this work. The resultants were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). FTIR showed that the PCL/LDHs nanocomposites were prepared successfully by in situ polymerization and XRD spectra showed that the crystal structure did not change greatly in the presence of LDHS. DSC results confirmed that LDHs could act as nucleating agents. UV-vis spectra showed that LDHs had stronger absorbance peak than LDH. Moreover, the PCL/LDHs nanocomposites had strong anti-ultraviolet effect by introduction of LDHs into polymer matrix.

Graphene was synthesized by microwave-hydrothermal chemical reduction of graphite oxide using hydrazine hydrate as the reducing agent. Graphene was characterized using X-ray diffraction, UV-visible spectrum, FT-IR spectrum and scanning electron microscopy. Results indicated that the as-prepared graphene was wrinkled and comprised fewer graphenes with a highly crystalline structure.

In this paper, the intercalation of methyl-red (MR) into Mg/Al (ratio=2:1) layered double hydroxide (LDH) was carried out using reconstruction method to obtain MRLDH nanocomposite material. Its chemical composition, crystal structure and appearance were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TEM, TG-DTA and element analysis. It has been found that the MRLDH still keeps the typical lamellar structure, and the guest MR has inserted into the layers of the host LDH. The MRLDH’s disassembly temperature is higher more than 70°C than that of guest molecule MR, so it can be used as a new dye with high thermal stability.

In this study, the aqueous sol-gel method was employed for the synthesis of (1−x)SrTiO3-xBiMnO3 solid solutions. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the formation of single-phase perovskites with a cubic structure up to x = 0.3. A further increase of the BiMnO3 content led to the formation of a negligible amount of neighboring Mn3O4 impurity, along with the major perovskite phase. Infrared (FT-IR) analysis of the synthesized specimens showed gradual spectral change associated with the superposition effect of Mn-O and Ti-O bond lengths. By introducing BiMnO3 into the SrTiO3 crystal structure, the size of the grains increased drastically, which was confirmed by means of scanning electron microscopy. Magnetization studies revealed that all solid solutions containing the BiMnO3 component can be characterized as paramagnetic materials. It was observed that magnetization values clearly correlate with the chemical composition of powders, and the gradual increase of the BiMnO3 content resulted in noticeably higher magnetization values.

Nano-TiO2 particles were prepared by sol-gel method, of which the surfaces were coated by SiO2. The coating was achieved by the hydrolysis of sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) in ammonium chloride (NH4Cl). The surface bonding, phase constitution and chemical components of the samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The mechanism of the SiO2 coating process onto TiO2 surface was analyzed. Results show that SiO2 particles were immobilized on the TiO2 surface via Ti—O—Si bondings, which formed at the interface. The SiO2 layer on TiO2 surface was amorphous, the photocatalytic performance was decreased of the TiO2 while its stability was enhanced after surface modification.

This paper focuses on the preparation of siloxane-polyurethane hybrid materials using a sol-gel method. The global aim of the project is to tailor mechanical properties, degradability rate, bioactivity and biocompatibility to design scaffolds for musculoskeletal applications. A series of seven hybrid materials were synthesized with varying the proportion of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and Polyurethane (PU). The organic part ratios (by weight) employed were (% PDMS:% PU) 30:0, 35:5, 20:10, 15:15, 10:20, 5:25, and 0:30. The organic part was reacted with constant 70 % TEOS to obtain the hybrid materials. A sol-gel process was selected for the synthesis of the hybrids. The characterization of materials was carried out by the fourier-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), x-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) techniques in order to analyze the structure, microstructure and chemical composition of the hybrid materials. Gelification time depends on the proportion of PU used. When no PU is employed, the gel time is 8 hours but it rises up to 18 days for 30 % of polyurethane. Materials range from opaque to translucent but with a greater fragility for greater amounts of polyurethane. No differences in the bonding of materials could be appreciated.
