ABSTRACTPbTiO3 thin layers were deposited onto GaAs by sol-gel processing. The GaAs substrates were encapsulated with Si3N4 or SiO2 to minimize diffusion problems. Gel layers were heat treated to 350°C for removal of organic species and for the densification of the amorphous gel structure. Rapid thermal processing at 600°C was used to crystallize PbTiO3 into the perovskite structure. SIMS analysis determined limited diffusion of Ga and As into PbTiO3. The fine grain microstructure contained domains.

A new system 0.1 BiFeO 3-0.9 SrBi 2 Nb 2 O 9 thin films have been successfully prepared by an ethanolamine-modified sol-gel technique. The precursor solution was synthesized from compounds, Bi(NO 3)3· 5H 2 O , Sr(NO 3)2, Fe(NO 3)3· 9H 2 O and Nb(OC 2 H 5)5 in solution ethylene glycol monomethyl ether. The thin films were deposited on Si single crystal by spinning coating, and heat-treated at temperatures ranging from 400°C to 700°C. Crystallization of thin films occurred at about 500 ~ 600°C and the films exhibit a pure phase of layered perovskite ferroelectric structure. The grain of films is well distributed and the average grain size of the film is about 100nm.

Dip Coating Method

Electrochromic WO3 thin film was prepared by using tungsten metal solution in hydrogen peroxide as a starting solution and by sol-gel dip coating method. XRD pattern showed that tungsten oxide crystal phase formed at 400. In the view of electrochemical property, WO3 thin film which was heat-treated at 300 and was amorphous had better than that of the crystalline phase.

Lead zirconate titanate/tungsten oxide (PZT/WO3) ceramics were prepared from the powders synthesized by a modified triol sol-gel processing method. In this study, the starting materials used for synthesis of PZT-sol were zirconium (IV) propoxide, titanium (IV) isopropxide, lead (II) acetate trihydrate and 1,1,1,- tris (hydroxymethyl) ethane. To prepare PZT/xWO3 powders (where x = 0, 0.5, 1 and 3 wt%), nano-sized WO3 was ultrasonically dispersed and mixed with the PZT sol, dried and calcined at 600°C for 4 h. X-ray diffraction results indicated that fully crystallized powders were obtained. Phase characterization suggested that at high WO3 concentration, the reaction between PZT and WO3 occurred during the calcination process. To prepare PZT/xWO3 ceramics, the powders were pressed and sintered at 1100°C for 6 h. Phase characterization by XRD indicated that the content of WO3 significantly affected tetragonal-to-rhombohedral phase transition. Microstructure of thermally etched samples showed that increasing the content of WO3 decreased grain size of the ceramics.

In spite of the enormous promise that polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) materials hold for photoelectrochemical (PEC) applications, the fabrication of high-quality PCN photoelectrodes has been a largely elusive goal to date. Here we tackle this challenge by devising, for the first time, a sol–gel approach that enables facile preparation of photoanodes based on poly(heptazine imide) (PHI), a polymer belonging to the PCN family. The sol–gel process capitalizes on the use of a water-soluble PHI precursor composed of nanosized (~10 nm) particles that allows formation of a non-covalent hydrogel. The hydrogel can be deposited on a conductive substrate resulting in formation of mechanically stable porous polymeric thin layers (~400 nm), in contrast to the commonly obtained loosely attached thick particulate coatings. The resulting photoanodes exhibit unprecedented PEC performance in methanol reforming in neutral pH electrolytes with photocurrents of up to 177±27 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> (1 sun illumination) and 320±40 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> (2 sun illumination) at 1.23 V vs. RHE, maintaining such high photocurrents even down to ~0 V vs. RHE. These parameters permit effective operation even without any external electric bias, as demonstrated by bias-free photoreforming of methanol and glycerol, and highly selective (~100%) photooxidation of 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol (4-MBA). The robust binder-free films derived from sol–gel processing of water-soluble PCN thus represent a new paradigm for high-performance ‘soft-matter’ photoelectrocatalytic systems, and pave the way for further applications in which high-quality PCN films are required.

This paper presents the synthesis and characterization of Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O8+x superconducting nanowires. Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O8+x nanowires with Tc = 68 K were synthesized using the electrospinning process employing sol–gel precursors. A sol–gel methodology was used to obtain a homogeneous PVP solution containing Bi, Sr, Ca, and Cu oxalates. Samples were heat-treated at 120 °C to remove excess moisture, and then at 850 °C in box furnace. Bulk sample was also prepared using coprecipitation method for comparison. Based on XRD, the nanowire sample showed minimal Bi-2223 phases and apparent Bi-2212 phases. The morphology, microstructure, and crystal structure of these nanowires were examined using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) to reveal a rectangular morphology having typical wire thickness in the range of 150–1000 nm. Electrospun Bi-2223 were grinded and pressed at 0.9 GPa into pellets. DC measurements were conducted to investigate the critical transition temperature (Tc) of Bi-2223 nanowires and to compare their magnetic properties to those of coprecipitated Bi-2223 pellets. The Tc for the bulk sample is observed at 101 K and electrospun Bi-2223 at 68 K. Coprecipitated Bi-2223 was added with Pb whereas electrospun Bi-2223 does not employ Pb. These results point to the existence of utilizing of the substitution of Pb with Bi; Bi-2223 phases in pressed nanowire are less, and the potential of using electrospinning to synthesis functional Bi-2233 superconductors.
