Mullite whiskers were prepared by sol-gel method. The preparing conditions, the morphology and crystallite phase of the mullite whiskers were studied by Thermal analysis, XRD and SEM. The results demonstrate that the uniform mullite whiskers with high aspect ratio were obtained in properly preparing conditions and appropriate amount of fluorides.

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.

To promote the application of BaTi4O9 in higher-end fields, BaTi4O9 precursor has been prepared with sol-gel method (SGM. The objective products have been obtained at different temperatures and SSR-BaTi4O9 samples has been prepared for compare experiments. The studies of thermal analysis, XRD analysis, TEM analysis, specific surface area analysis, DRS analysis and FS analysis show: the crystalline of the product obtained by SGM is more purity than the product obtained by SSR; The SGM600 sample is amorphous, which can be used as an optical catalyst because of the maximum specific surface area; The SGM1000 sample is the most pure, uniform and complete in crystal.

Thermal and XRD analyses were used to study partially stabilized zirconia powders produced by sol-gel method in order to investigate gas evolution in annealing in air and densification behavior of these powders in compaction and subsequent sintering. It was found that the powders of the initial gel contain a large amount of gas adsorbates. The amount of adsorbates decreases as the annealing temperature grows. At annealing temperature of 700 ºC, adsorbates are completely removed from the powders and the latter obtain a crystalline structure with a predominant tetragonal phase. Gas adsorbates affect densification of powder compacts during sintering and facilitate the production of ceramics with a porosity of not more than 5 %. It is shown that the production of low porosity ceramics is complicated even though powders subjected to annealing may contain nano-sized impurities or be free of these. Low-melting additives are proposed to be used for ceramics production.
