AbstractThe goal in this study is to synthesize a Ruddleden-Poper La-Ni phase (La4Ni3O10) using a polymeric route. This material exhibits mixed ionic and electronic conduction (MIEC) properties and can be used as cathode material in the manufacture of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC). In addition, an easy and inexpensive synthesis method is presented The polymeric precursors are prepared following the Castillo method using optimized the complexation ratios (HMTA/metallic salts) from 1 to 6. The obtained powders are characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) in order to determine the processing conditions for formation of the crystalline phase. Experiments performed using complexation ratios of 5 and 6 do not show coagulation. However, the solution prepared using a complexation ratio of 5, is transformed into a gel after few days. Gels produced from solutions prepared with complexation ratios from 2 to 5 were heated at 800, 900 and 1000°C to obtain solid materials. These powders are characterized by TGS, DSC and XRD and it is found that the temperature needed to obtain crystalline La4Ni3O10 was 1000°C.

ABSTRACTThe goal in this study was to synthesize a lanthanum - nickel phase (Ruddlesden-Popper phases) La4Ni3O10. This material was prepared using a polymeric route. An easy synthesis method is presented in order to obtain an economical cathode material, which can be used in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC). The polymeric precursors were prepared following the Castillo method. The originality of this work was to optimize the ratio HMTA/ metallic salts from 1 to 6. The obtained powders were characterized by thermal analysis; Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC Q10 Instrument TA), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA - Q50 Instrument TA-) and X-ray diffractometer (Bruker, D8 Advance diffractometer), in order to determine the crystallized phase. Experiments 5 and 6 did not present coagulation but after few days, solution 5 was transformed into a gel. Gels 2 to 5 were heated in order to obtain a solid material. These powders are characterized by thermogravimetric and thermo-differential methods. The powders obtained at 800, 900 and 1000°C were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and it was found that the temperature to get to the La4Ni3O10 phase was 1000ºC.

A pseudoboehmite was obtained by sol-gel synthesis using aluminum nitrate as precursor. It was used a 2n full factorial design for studying the effect of the temperature of synthesis, the concentration of ammonium hydroxide, and the radiation dose in the product of sol-gel synthesis. The product of the synthesis was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction of the product (after firing the pseudoboehmite at different temperatures), and it was also analyzed the temperature of endothermic and exothermic transformations using the thermo gravimetric analysis (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The X-ray diffraction data show that α-alumina was obtained at 1100o C.

ABSTRACTThe objective of the present study is to obtain the electrolyte material YSZ at low cost via sol gel, through exploration of the index rate between the complexing agents and the metallic salts (HMTA / metallic salts) from 1 to 5, prepared by a polymeric way in a sol gel process. We show an easy method that could be used in the industrial scale in order to obtain solid electrolyte material for its application in SOFC to operate at temperatures in the range of 700 800°C. This study has as reference the papers from Lenormand and Rieu about their synthesis of zirconium substituted to 8% of yttrium (CYSZ= 0.2 mol*L-1 metallic salts concentration-). The presence of the phase in the materials has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction assisted by thermal analysis tests, for indexes from 2 to 5 at a temperature of 1000°C for 5 hours at a calcination rate (from amorphous dust obtained at 400°C) of 1000°C per hour. The grain size mean for crystalline powder has an average near 50 nm and standard deviation close to 9 nm, it was confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Abstract The research analyzed the physical properties of TiO2 and bentonite nanocomposite as adsorbent materials. The TiO2 synthesis method was carried out through a sol–gel process. Meanwhile the synthesis of bentonite was carried out by the ball mill, coprecipitation and addition of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant. X-ray diffraction nanocomposite characterization showed that the particle size was 17.13 nm. Fourier transform infrared analysis showed the required absorption peak in photocatalysis because the OH group can react with holes and prevent electron–hole pair recombination. The morphology of the nanocomposite showed the occurrence of TiO2 pillarization in bentonite. The results of the X-ray fluorescence nanocomposite showed that the content of TiO2 and SiO2 was 65.22 and 17.4%, respectively.

AbstractThis study presents a preparation of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite synthesis via the green auto-combustion method. At first, SrFe12O19 nanoparticles were synthesized as a core and then, SrTiO3 nanoparticles were prepared as a shell for it to manufacture SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposite. A novel sol-gel auto-combustion green synthesis method has been used with lemon juice as a capping agent. The prepared SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposites were characterized by using several techniques to characterize their structural, morphological and magnetic properties. The crystal structures of the nanocomposite were investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite was studied by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The elemental composition of the materials was analyzed by an energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). Magnetic properties and hysteresis loop of nanopowder were characterized via vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) in the room temperature. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra of the samples showed the molecular bands of nanoparticles. Also, the photocatalytic behavior of nanocomposites has been checked by the degradation of azo dyes under irradiation of ultraviolet light.

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.

ABSTRACTNd substituted bismuth titanate Bi4-xNdxTi3O12 were synthesized by sol-gel process and thin films were deposited on Pt substrate (Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si) by spin coating. Thin films, characterized by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, shows complete solid solution up to the composition x < 1. Initial results indicate that the ferroelectric polarization increases with increasing Nd content in the film with 2Pr = 50μC/cm2 for x = 0.46, which may have application in non-volatile ferroelectric memory devices.

Strontium substituted hydroxyapatite(SrHAp) were fabricated both in the form of powder as reference and thin film by using inorganic precursor reaction. The sol-gel process has been used for the deposition of SrHAp layer on stainless steal 316L substrate by spin coating technique, after that the films were annealed in air at various temperatures. The chemical composition of SrHAp is represented (SrxCa1-x)5(PO4)3OH, where x is equal to 0, 0.5 and 1.0. Investigations of the phase structure of SrHAp were carried out by using X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). The results showed that strontium is incorporated into hydroxyapatite where its substitution for calcium increases in the lattice parameters, and Sr3(PO4)2 can be detected at 900°C. The SEM micrographs showed that SrHAp films exhibited porous structure before develop to a cross-linking structure.

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.
