Lead titanate thin films were successfully prepared using a simple sol-gel method. In the present study extra Pb excess was not taken into consideration in such a way that the ratio of Pb:Ti is 1:1. Different molar concentration (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5) involved in this study and it was found that the solutions increased in acidic level by the increment of molar concentration that being measured by pH and conductivity meter (JENWAY-3540). It also indicated that the solutions were electrically resistive at low concentration which might due to the existence of lead and oxygen ionic bonding. The solutions were then deposited onto cleaned glass substrate by spin coating technique indeed to have better thin film homogeneity at room temperature. The prepared thin films were characterized on electrical property considering the resistivity measured by solar simulator (BUKOH KEIKI EP-2000). After that structural and physical property of thin films were observed by atomic force microscopy (Park System, XE-100).

Titanium Dioxide, TiO2 is one of the potential semiconductor materials. TiO2 has much application such as for pigments, oxygen sensors, and photocatalyst. Recently, the researcher study on the other application and revealed that this material has a great potential to be use in nanocoating area. The objective of this paper is to produce TiO2 nanostructured prepared by sol-gel method. Sol-gel was carried out using tetra (IV) isopropoxide (TTIP), absolute ethanol, Acetic Acid Glacial (GAA), Triton-X-100 and deionized water and all the solution was mixing by continuous stirring and heating. After finished prepare the sol-gel, solution will be spin coated onto glass substrate and annealed with different temperature for 2 hours. The particles were analyzed using Raman Spectroscopy to observe the crystallographic phase, and the morphology was evaluated through Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). As a result, TiO2 that annealed at 450°C shows the better nanostructured compared to other annealing temperature.

Percolation Structure

It was developed a new technique to assess micro- and mesopores with sizes below a few nanometers. The porous materials with hierarchical fractal-percolation structure were obtained with the sol-gel method. The tetraethoxysilane hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions were performed in the presence of salts as the sources of metal oxides. The porous materials were obtained under spinodal decomposition conditions during application of the polymer sol to the substrate surface and thermal treatment of the structures. The model is based on an enhanced Kepler net of the 4612 type with hexagonal cells filled with a quasi-two-dimensional projection of the Jullien fractal after the 2nd iteration. The materials obtained with the sol-gel method were studied using the atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy, thermal desorption, as well as an AutoCAD 2022 computer simulation of the percolation transition in a two-component system using the proposed multimodal model. Based on the results obtained, a new method was suggested to assess micro- and mesopores with sizes below a few nanometrs, which cannot be analyzed using the atomic force microscopy and electron microscopy.

This study investigated the solvent effect on the synthesis of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle using sol-gel method. Zinc acetate dihydrate and oxalic acid were used as a chemical precursor for the synthesis of the ZnO nanoparticle considering the effects of various solvents. The effect of using water, propanol, or ethanol as solvent during the synthesis were examined. The resultant gel in the aqueous and organic moderate solvent was thermally cracked into ZnO nanoparticles at 450 °C under atmospheric pressure. The results showed that the solvent type has a significant effect on the morphology and particles size of the ZnO nanoparticles synthesized. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was used to investigate the microstructure of the nanoparticles. The crystalline and chemical structure of the prepared ZnO nanoparticle were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The average diameter of nano-size particles obtained for ethanol, propanol and water are 79.55 nm, 83.86 nm and 85.59 nm, respectively. ZnO particles showed higher degree of crystalline in water compared to other solvents under current investigation. Copyright © 2021 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.
