Aluminates of alkaline earth elements have high photoluminescence properties and resistance to UV radiation. Due to this, they are widely used in optical industry. In this work magnesium calcium aluminate was prepared by sol-gel method. The main stages of the formation of the crystalline structure CaMgAl10O17 were determined by thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. The surface morphology was studied using scanning electron microscopy. The ratio of elements in the product was installed by X-ray microanalysis.

AbstractA nanocomposite of 0.5SnO2–0.5Al2O3 has been synthesized using a sol-gel route. Structural and optical properties of the nanocomposite have been discussed in detail. Powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction spectroscopy confirm the phase purity and the particle size of the 0.5SnO2–0.5Al2O3 nanocomposite (13 to 15 nm). The scanning electron microscopy also confirms the porosity in the sample, useful in sensing applications. The FT-IR analysis confirms the presence of physical interaction between SnO2 and Al2O3 due to the slight shifting and broadening of characteristic bands. The UV-Vis analysis confirms the semiconducting nature because of direct transition of electrons into the 0.5SnO2–0.5Al2O3 nanocomposites.

Tributyl borate was first adopted for the introduction of boron in the preparation of bioactive borosilicate xerogel by sol-gel method. The xerogel reacted continuously in 0.25M K2HPO4 solution with a starting pH value of 7.0 at 37 °C for 1day. The structural, morphologies and compositional changes resulting from the conversion were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results indicated that speed of formation of HA was cut way back on the time with the addition of boron and the induction period for the HA nucleation on the surface of the borosilicate xerogel was short than 1 days. The conversion mechanism of the borosilicate xerogels to hydroxyapaptite was also discussed.

Dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) nanoparticles, also known as brushite, are considered an important bioceramic compound. In this study, brushite was prepared from Moroccan phosphogypsum (PG) using a new sol-gel method. A two-step technique undergoes the synthesis of brushite, the preparation of anhydrite from PG followed by adding phosphoric acid in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The morphology, the chemical composition, and the crystallites size were obtained using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM-EDAX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. According to the Debye-Scherrer equation, these characterization methods indicated that the synthesized brushite was highly pure according to the Ca/P ratio of 1.14 and an average crystallites size estimated at 66 nm. These results proved that the brushite was successfully synthesized from Moroccan phosphogypsum.

In this study, TiO2nanopowder was synthesized via a sol-gel grinding method. The effects of TiO2precursor concentration of TiO2nanopowder were investigated. The TiO2nanopowder obtained were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) for their structural properties. From the calculation of the crystallite size in XRD, the size of the nanoparticles obtained is 49.55 nm at the highest TiO2precursor concentration. In contrast, at the lower concentration of 0.4 molar give the cryatallite size of 12.84 nm. Further, XRD and Raman spectrum results confirmed the TiO2nanopowder obtain composed of only anatase phase. The FESEM micrographs of TiO2nanopowder also were discussed in this paper.

Biomorphic silicon carbide (bioSiC) was prepared by high temperature pyrolysis and sol-gel and carbothermal reduction processing at 1600 oC. The morphology and microstructure of carbon-silica composites and purified bioSiC samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The phase composition of the resulting sample was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The results suggest that the bioSiC mainly consists of cubic ß-SiC, and principally replicates the shape and microstructure of the carbon template.

Thin SiO2ZrO2films were prepared, up to 0.2 μm thick, by means of the sol–gel technology and characterized by a Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. It is shown the presence of monoclinic, cubic and tetragonal phases of ZrO2in the SiO2matrix. The crystallites sizes depend on the annealing temperature of the film and amount to 35 and 56 nm for the films annealed at 773 and 973 K, respectively. The films resistance is rather sensitive to the presence of NO2and O3impurity in air at lower operating temperatures in the range of 30-60°C.

Amorphous powders in the Cs2O–Al2O3−SiO2 system were prepared by sol-gel processing. Gels made from TEOS, Al-chelate, and Cs-acetate were dried and calcined to obtain molecularly mixed powders of analyzed compositions in the range useful for conversion to pollucite (CsAlSi2O6) glass-ceramics. X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetry (TG), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the powders. A typical amorphous powder of analyzed chemical composition (in wt.%) = 28.05Cs2O, 37.77SiO2, and 37.96Al2O3 was found to have a glass transition temperature of 945 °C and a glass crystallization temperature of 1026 °C. Preliminary experimental results of densification and crystallization of the amorphous powders show pollucite/mullite phases to be present.

Sodium based batteries presented a new and promising battery system. This work attempted to develop NaCoO2 material using a new sol-gel method. The characterization of this sodium based material was done by using Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). Cyclic voltammetry showed that the material exhibit reversible oxidation and reduction peaks which meant that a sodium based battery was possible for this material. Electrochemical charge-discharge profile was performed to study the voltage plateaus exhibited by the material. It showed discharge plateaus of between 3.2 to 2.3 V and another plateau at 0.6 V.
