Lead zirconate titanate powders are derived from a novel aqueous-based citrate-nitrate/oxynitrate sol-gel combustion process. Aqueous solutions of metal nitrates or oxynitrates are transformed into gels with citric acid under heating. The received gels undergo a self-propagating combustion reaction on heating to 180 °C and subsequently yield voluminous ashes. These ashes form single phase perovskite Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3 powder with a specific surface area of 8 m2/g upon calcination at 550 °C. The ashes show a homogeneous distribution of lead, zirconium, and titanium ions which guarantees short diffusion paths in solid state formation of PZT perovskite. The redox behavior of the gels was studied with the help of DTA experiments. Powders are characterized in terms of XRD, SEM, and EDX analysis.

Ultrafine MgAl2O4 powders were synthesized by a nitrate-citrate sol-gel combustion process using Al(NO3)3·9H2O, Mg(NO3)2·6H2O and C6H8O7·H2O as initial materials. The result of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that single-phase MgAl2O4 powder could be obtained at 850 oC, which is much lower than that needed in solid-state reactions. Transmission electron microscopy image showed that the as-prepared powder was in the nano scale and little agglomerate exited. It is concluded that this process need shorter time, lower temperature, and simple equipments.

Abstract We investigated the impact of cobalt (Co) incorporation on the structural, optical, and magnetic properties of ferrite Ni1 − xCoxMn0.05Fe1.95O4, also known as NCMF for x = 0, 0.02, and 0.04, which were successfully synthesized using a low-temperature sol gel combustion process with nitrates as cations and citric acid (C6H8O7) as the combustion/chelating agent. In X-ray diffraction studies, cobalt incorporation resulted in a significant increase in lattice parameter from 8.31 to 8.36, as well as a significant increase in density from 5.42 to 5.52 g/cm3; crystal size formation was observed in the range of 44.76 nm to 48.54 nm for all samples. Raman spectra analysis confirmed that single phase belongs to the Fd3m space group. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra were used to identify functional clusters and residual groups in all samples. UV-visible spectroscopy showed a redshift of 0.92 eV for x = 0.04. The effect of dopants on nickel ferrites' magnetization was observed in the range 52emu/g − 59emu/g, indicating that all samples contain soft magnetic content. Antifungal activity of synthesized sample was analyzed against Aspergillus niger (MT675916) species of plant pathogenic fungi isolated from Capsicum during storage. Biological analysis designated that the sample for x = 0.04 has shown a 100% potent antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger (MT675916) species. For x = 0.04 treatment completely inhibit the growth of fungus after 7 days. Therefore, NCMF NPs can be used as applicant resources for industrial, medical, and biological applications.
