A series of nitrogen doped titania nanomaterials were synthesized via sol-gel method by using tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide as N source. Doping of N into TiO2 was confirmed via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses. Mixture of anatase and rutile phases appeared in the unmodified TiO2 which was calcined at 773 K. The addition of N to TiO2 matrix led to formation of single phase of anatase. It has been demonstrated thatTiO2 and all the N-doped TiO2 materials were in nanoscale ranging 15.91 – 20.82 nm. Change in surface morphology after N doping was detected by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). Results of EDX mapping analysis indicated homogeneous distribution of N dopants.

Modification of sol-gel method was used to synthesize homogeneous particle size nitrogen-doped titania (N-TiO2) nanomaterials using tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide (TEAOH) as N source. XRD analysis showed that these N-TiO2 (1-5 % N concentration) crystallined in anatase structure. The crystallinity of the samples decreased with increasing of N content. The calculation using Scherrer equation showed that the particle size of the synthesized N-TiO2 ranged 15.02 - 26.85 nm, strongly suggesting attainment of nanomaterials. DR UV-Vis results indicated that the band gap energy of 5% N doped TiO2 was only 2.58 eV, implying the sample could be a potential photocatalyst under visible light irradiation.  Homogeneous particle size of the synthesized nanomaterials was evidenced through FESEM images. Meanwhile, the EDX analysis confirmed the homogenous distribution of elements Ti, N and O in 5% N doped titania sample.

A series of colossal magneto resistance materials having compositional formula Re 0.67 Sr 0.33 MnO 3 (Re = Nd, Gd, … etc.) were prepared by the sol-gel method, using Ethylene glycol as a gelating reagent. The materials were characterized by the powder X-ray diffraction technique and are found to be single phase with orthorhombic structure. The particle size of all the materials were calculated using the well known Shearer formula and are found to be in the range of 20–45 nm. In order to determine the transition temperature (T c ), the DC electrical resistivity measurements were also carried out over a temperature range 80–300 K using the four probe method and it has been observed that the T c values are found to increase with increasing ionic size. Finally the magneto resistance measurements were also undertaken in the temperature range 80–300 K and it has been found that the MR values of these materials are better when compared with those prepared by the solid state reaction method.

Scanning electron microscope results shows that the particle size is about 50 nm. The X-ray diffraction diagram shows that the samples are single phase, changing structure clearly as the x ratio increases from 0 to 1. The lattice constant, the bond length also changes with x-value as shown on the Raman scattering spectrum. The results of the vibrating sample magnetometer show that the magnetism of the material FexNi1-xMn2O4 changes with the value of x and reaches a maximum in the range x from 0.5 to 0.7.

The synthesis of Ni doped titania (TiO2) nanoparticles were achieved via simple novel sol gel technique, in which Titanium-n-butoxide and NiCl2 were taken as precursors. Effect of different wt% of dopant in TiO2 was studied on photocatalytic degradation of Aniline blue and Toluidine Blue. The study suggested the increased photocatalytic degradation with increased time duration. The synthesized samples were analyzed by surface electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction studies. The antibacterial activity was investigated against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus bacteriae. Studies revealed that on increasing the dopant concentration, the diameter of zone of inhibition also increased upto 1.5 wt%.

Diffusion Paths

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.

To obtain more detail information about the cathode of La0.7Sr0.3Cu1-xFexO3-δ（x= 0.1,0.3,0.5,0.7,0.9）in IT-SOFCs, the cathode material La0.7Sr0.3Cu1-xFexO3-δ（x=0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9）was synthesized by a sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction revealed it to be form a single phase of perovskite. The high temperature electrical conductivity was measured by using the four-point dc technique, and cathodic overpotential with SDC（Sm0.15Ce0.85O1.925） electrolyte support was measured by using a current-interruption technique. The investigation of electrocheimical properties suggested that La0.7Sr0.3Cu0.7Fe0.3O3-δ has the highest electrical conductivity and the lowest cathodic polarization. Using La0.7Sr0.3Cu0.7Fe0.3O3-δ as cathode and 65%NiO/SDC as anode based on SDC electrolyte one can obtain higher current density and power density at intermediate temperatures, La0.7Sr0.3Cu0.7Fe0.3O3-δ is considered to be a possible cathode adapted to IT-SOFCs.

In order to prepare ultrafine La3NbO7 powder, a potential material for thermal barrier coatings, the calcination process of La3NbO7 was studied in this paper.The precursor of La3NbO7 was synthesized by using a citric acid complex method. A calcination process had been systematically investigated. The reaction temperature was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The phase composition of powders was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the morphology was obtained by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results revealed that the single-phase La3NbO7 powder could be successfully prepared while the calcination temperature exceeded 800°C and a better morphology could be maintained at 800°C for 4 hours. Considering all above, an optimum calcination scheme was adopted at 800°C for 4 hours. The as-prepared La3NbO7 powders had a grain size of about 50nm and an average particle size of about 300nm.

Nitrogen doped TiO2/sepiolite composite materials (N-TiO2/sep) with different nitrogen contents were prepared by a sol-gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. XRD and SEM results showed that anatase-TiO2nanoparticles were distributed homogenously on the surface of sepiolite. XPS revealed that N atoms could incorporate into the lattice of anatase TiO2substituting the oxygen atoms sites of oxygen atoms.

Doped Titania

Pure titania ( TiO 2) nanopowders and TiO 2 doped with 10 mol % of vanadium ions ( V 3+) are synthesized by sol-gel method. The dependence of structural characteristics of nanopowders on synthesis conditions is investigated by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Very intensive modes observed in Raman spectra of all nanopowders are assigned to anatase phase of TiO 2. Additional Raman modes of extremely low intensity which can be related to the presence of small amount of brookite amorphous phase are observed in pure TiO 2 nanopowders. In V -doped nanopowders anatase was the only TiO 2 phase detected. The variations in duration and heating rate of calcination influence slightly the Raman spectra of pure TiO 2, but have a great impact on Raman modes of anatase, as well as the additional Raman modes related to the presence of vanadium oxides in V -doped samples.
