Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) was prepared by a sol-gel method from Ca alkoxide synthesized with Ca metal and ethanol in N2 atmosphere. As-prepared products by sol-gel method were spherical ACP particles of approximately 3 to 10 nm in diameter before heat-treatments. The results from Ca-K edge of as-synthesized ACP showed only one peak around 0.2 nm, suggesting the presence of the first neighbor of Ca in Ca-PO4 cluster.

Photocatalytic technology is a widely used water treatment method, whose efficiency can be increased by developing a suitable photocatalyst fabrication procedure. In this study, five different synthesis methods were utilised for the preparation of novel ZnO/sepiolite photolytic composites, namely, sol-gel method, hydrothermal reduction, hydrolytic precipitation, powder sintering, and impregnation-reduction. The obtained photocatalysts were characterised by scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The differences between the applied photocatalyst preparation methods and the reasons for these differences were discussed, and the photocatalytic activities of the prepared composite materials were compared. The obtained results revealed that the physical structure, chemical properties, and photocatalytic performance of the composite produced by the sol-gel method were superior to those of the materials fabricated by the other four methods. Moreover, this material also exhibited high photocatalytic stability, while its photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye proceeded via a quasi-first-order reaction. The prepared composites have broad application prospects in photocatalysis and can be potentially used for treating environmental pollutants.

Spherical YAG:Ce3+phosphors were synthesized by three different routes namely sol-gel method, co-precipitation method and solvethermal method. The microstructure, crystallization and luminescent properties of the phosphors were studied in order to find the best processing parameter for spherical shape and good luminescence properties of YAG:Ce3+phosphor. Adding citric acid to the precursor solution resulted in the formation of spherical particles in sol-gel method. YAG:Ce3+phosphor made by co-precipitation method was separated with PEG2000, and its spherical particles of size was around 500nm. The hydro-thermal method could get perfect spherical appearance, but it needed heat treatment improve the luminescence property.

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.

Photocatalysis has recently emerged as an advanced, green, and eco-friendly process for the treatment of wastewater and air, and antimicrobial disinfection applications. In this context, TiO2 nanostructures have been shown to be the prominent photocatalyst candidates due to their low cost, non-toxicity, and ease of fabrication. This review highlights the investigation and development of TiO2 photocatalyst film by sol-gel method with special emphasis on the photodecolorization of synthetic dyes and antibacterial activities. Furthermore, various synthesis methods for the preparation of TiO2 films and their advantages, as well as limitations, are summarized. Finally, recent advances in TiO2 films by sol-gel method for dye degradation and antibacterial activities, challenges, and future perspective are discussed.
