The forsterite-structure Mg2SiO4 was successfully synthesized by the aqueous sol-gel method using Si sols dioxide and magnesium nitrate as starting materials instead of expensive organic solvent and metal alkoxides. The as-prepared nanopowders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The results showed that the calcination process of gel consisted of a series of oxidation and combustion reactions, accompanied by significantly exothermal effects. Highly reactive nanosized Mg2SiO4 powders were successfully obtained at 850 °C with particle size of 60~80 nm.

The willemite-type Zn2SiO4 was successfully synthesized by the aqueous sol-gel method using Si sols dioxide and zinc nitrate as starting materials instead of expensive organic solvent and metal alkoxides. The as-prepared nanopowders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The results showed that the calcination process of gel consisted of a series of oxidation and combustion reactions, accompanied by significantly exothermal effects. Highly reactive nanosized Zn2SiO4 powders were successfully obtained at 800 °C with particle size ~100 nm. By comparison, the aqueous sol-gel process was the most effective and least expensive technique used for the preparation of Zn2SiO4 nanopowders.

The pseudobrookite-structure MgTi2O5was successfully synthesized by the aqueous sol-gel method using titanium dioxide and magnesium nitrate as starting materials instead of expensive organic solvent and metal alkoxides. The as-prepared nanopowders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), respectively. The results showed that the calcinations process of gel consisted of a series of oxidation and combustion reactions, accompanied by significantly exothermal effects. Highly reactive nanosized magnesium titanate powders were successfully obtained at 650 °C with less than ~100 nm.

The ecandrewsite-type ZnTiO3was successfully synthesized by the aqueous sol-gel method using TiO2dioxide and zinc nitrate as starting materials instead of expensive organic solvent and metal alkoxides. The as-prepared nanopowders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The results showed that the calcination process of gel consisted of a series of oxidation and combustion reactions, accompanied by significantly exothermal effects. Highly reactive nanosized ZnTiO3powders were successfully obtained at 850 °C with particle size ~50 nm. By comparison, the aqueous sol-gel process was the most effective and least expensive technique used for the preparation of ZnTiO3nanopowders.

In this work, high purity BaTiO3 (BT) nano-powders by a sol-gel process was prepared with Ba(NO3)2 and Ti(C4H9O)4 materials in order to acquire uniform size grains. The effects of the crystallinity, microstructure of BT nano-powders calcined at different temperatures and dielectric properties of the ceramics were investigated by XRD, SEM and impedance analyzer, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction investigation revealed cubic plates and crystallite size. The results revealed that crystallite size and calcination temperature of BT and influence on the dielectric constant.

Nanocrystalline MgCr2O4 with a crystal size of about 20nm is synthesized by citrate sol-gel process, which is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry coupled with differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The initial crystallization temperature of MgCr2O4 spinel was at about 550°C, whereas that of the fully crystallized magnesium chromate spinel appeared at about 600°C. The crystal grain size increases with the annealing temperature and holding time.

Zn2SiO4:Eu3+, Dy3+ phosphors have been prepared through the sol-gel process. X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric and ddifferential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), FT-IR spectra and photoluminescence spectra were used to characterize the resulting phosphors. The results of XRD indicated that the phosphors crystallized completely at 1000oC. In Zn2SiO4:Eu3+,Dy3+ phosphors, the Eu3+ and Dy3+ show their characteristic red(613nm, 5D0-7F2), blue (481nm, 4F9/2–6H15/2) and yellow (577nm, 4F9/2–6H13/2) emissions.

Ti (OC4H9)4 was used as the Ti precursor and titanium dioxide (TiO2) was prepared by sol-gel method. During the preparation process, Fe3+ was doped and different surfactants, such as SDS, PEG, CTAB, were added to improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. The effect of the different type of surfactants on the structure of Fe-doped TiO2 was discussed. The photocatalysts were characterized by thermogravimetric thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The red shift of the absorption edge of the Fe-doped TiO2 prepared by using different surfactants was observed. Methyl orange (MO) solution was degraded under sunlight irradiation to evaluate the photocatalytic performance. The results indicated that the photocatalyst prepared with PEG addition had the highest activity and MO degradation ratio could reach 90% after 4 hours irradiation with the best photocatalyst.

Ultrafine alumina powders were synthesized through pyrocatechol and resorcinol mediated sol-gel process. Aluminum nitrate was applied as the Al source and PVP was the dispersant. X-ray diffraction (XRD) study displayed that γ-Al2O3 powders formed in the range of 800-900 °C, and then γ-Al2O3 transformed to α-Al2O3 at higher temperatures, pure α-Al2O3 powders could be obtained at 1000 °C by using resorcinol as organic monomer. The results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that Al2O3 nanoparticles with γ crystalline phase had grain sizes in the range of 5-40 nm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation displayed that the morphology of the prepared α-Al2O3 powders had aggregated bodies formed by Al2O3 grains in the range of 0.2-0.5μm. These results provide a new way of preparation of alumina powders.

In the present paper, the ceramic pigments of Fe<sub>x</sub>Zn<sub>1-x</sub>Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4 </sub>(x = 0 ¸ 1) were synthesized by the starch assisted sol-gel method. The resulting pigments were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), CIE L*a*b* color measurement. The results showed that the preparation pigments of Fe<sub>x</sub>Zn<sub>1-x</sub>Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>, calcinated at 1100<sup>o</sup>C for 60 minutes, obtained phases of spinel ACr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> (A: Zn, Fe) and perovskite FeCrO<sub>3</sub> with excellent crystallinity. The brown color intensity was gradually increased as a function of the amount of substituted Fe<sup>2+</sup> ion. The achieved pigments met industrial requirements in terms of physicochemical characteristics.
