Using Pr (NO3)3, butyl titanate, ethylene glycol and citric acid as main raw materials, praseodymium titanate (Pr2Ti2O7) was prepared by the sol-gel process. The samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermal gravity-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), diffuse-reflection spectra (DRS) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The effect of different calcination temperature and illumination time on the photocatalytic properties of Pr2Ti2O7 was investigated. It was found that the single phase Pr2Ti2O7 could be obtained through sol-gel process and calcination at 1000 °C. The Pr2Ti2O7 samples calcination at 1000 °C were uniform , and the resulting product had a particle size of 200 nm and an optical band gap of 3.26 eV. Under ultraviolet light, the degradation of methyl orange arrived to 80.11% after 180 min of photocatalytic reaction. The Pr2Ti2O7 samples showed good photocatalytic activity for decomposition of methyl orange.

Bi2Al4O9 powders were prepared by sol-gel process. The precursors were heated at 500-800°C for 2h to obtain Bi2Al4O9 powder and X-ray diffraction (XRD), Differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques were used to characterize precursor and derived oxide powders. XRD analysis show that the powder is still amorphous after calcined at 500°C. The peaks of Bi2Al4O9 become sharp after calcined at 575°C though still existing some amorphous phase. After calcining at 675-800°C, the powder has fully turned into pure Bi2Al4O9 phase. The crystallization process can also be confirmed by DTA-TG and IR. Calcining the precursor at 575°C, the absorption bands at 527 cm-1, 738 cm-1, 777 cm-1, and 919 cm-1are observed, which are assigned to Bi2Al4O9 and becoming stronger and sharper with the increase of temperature.

Degradation Of Methyl Orange

In this work, novel Cu/BiVO4 photocatalyst were prepared by a low-temperature solid state grinding method using Bi (NO3)3•5H2O, NH4VO3 and Cu (NO3)2•2H2O as raw materials. The structure and properties of the samples were characterized by Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-vis diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS); Using the degradation of methyl orange (MO) as the probe, it was simulated as the degradation of sewage under the visible light to study the influence of the illumination time and the amount of photocatalysts. Compared with the pure BiVO4, the visible-light absorption scope of BiVO4 was broadened by doping Cu, the UV-Visible absorption edges were slightly red shift and the band gap was narrower. Comparatively speaking, the results indicted that the doped Cu enhanced the photocatalytic activities of BiVO4.

Uniform Lu2O3:Eu3+ nanowire arrays were successfully prepared by the sol-gel process using anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The as-synthesized nanowires are homogeneous, highly ordered, and dense and have a uniform diameter of ~300 nm defined by the AAO templates. The X-ray diffraction and selected area electron diffraction results show that the Lu2O3:Eu3+ nanowires have a polycrystalline cubic structure, and the crystallite size of the Lu2O3:Eu3+ nanowires is confined by the AAO template. The nanowires within the AAO template showed good photoluminescence and X-ray-excited optical luminescence performances for Lu2O3:Eu3+. The emission peaks were attributed to the 5D0 → 7FJ transitions of Eu3+ (J = 0, 1, 2, 3).

Influence Of Ph

V2O5 powders were successfully synthesized by the EDTA assistanced ultrasound sol-gel process using NH4VO3 and EDTA, NH3•H2O as raw materials. The synthesized activation energy and the influence of pH values and the calcination temperatures on the phases and microstructures of powders were particularly investigated. The precursor powders and the V2O5 powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform inelectron microscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry-thermal gravimetric (DSC-TG). Results show that the obtained products exhibit good crystallization under the conditions of pH=4, calcination temperature 400~500 °C and calcination time 0.5 h during the synthesizing process. The as-prepared V2O5 powders show preferred growth orientation along (001) plane at the pH=4. By DSC analysis, the ultrasonic cavitation result in the decrease in synthesized activation energy obviously than that was prepared without ultrasonic irradiation.

The results indicated that the mixture became amorphous stage after ball-milled for 30 h, and single phase NiFe1.95La0.05O4 could be obtained after calcined at 700 for 2 h. The addition of lanthanum resulted in a reduction of all the magnetic parameters evaluated.

Ba(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O3 thin films were prepared by a sol-gel process involving the reaction of barium isopropoxide, tantalum ethoxide, and magnesium acetate in 2-methoxyethanol and subsequently hydrolysis, spin-coating, and heat treatment. Transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy were used for the characterization of the thin films. It was shown that the thin films tend to crystallize with small grains sized below 100 nm. Crystalline phase with cubic (disordered) perovskite structure was formed in the samples annealed at a very low temperature (below 500 °C), and well-crystallized thin films were obtained at 700 °C. Although disordered perovskite is dominant in the thin films annealed below 1000 °C, a low volume fraction of 1 : 2 ordering domains was found in the samples and grows with an increase of annealing temperature.

Superposition Effect

In this study, the aqueous sol-gel method was employed for the synthesis of (1−x)SrTiO3-xBiMnO3 solid solutions. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the formation of single-phase perovskites with a cubic structure up to x = 0.3. A further increase of the BiMnO3 content led to the formation of a negligible amount of neighboring Mn3O4 impurity, along with the major perovskite phase. Infrared (FT-IR) analysis of the synthesized specimens showed gradual spectral change associated with the superposition effect of Mn-O and Ti-O bond lengths. By introducing BiMnO3 into the SrTiO3 crystal structure, the size of the grains increased drastically, which was confirmed by means of scanning electron microscopy. Magnetization studies revealed that all solid solutions containing the BiMnO3 component can be characterized as paramagnetic materials. It was observed that magnetization values clearly correlate with the chemical composition of powders, and the gradual increase of the BiMnO3 content resulted in noticeably higher magnetization values.
