ABSTRACTOrganic additives are commonly used in sol-gel chemistry [1]. They can operate as stabilizers of reactive metal alkoxides [2] towards hydrolysis or as drying control chemical additives (such as dimethylformamide). These organic compounds and the by-products of sol-gel reactions can drastically modify the physical properties of final oxide materials, so that it is necessary to optimize the use of these additives. The first steps of hydrolysis of metal alkoxides stabilized by organic additives have been studied by many sophisticated analytical techniques which are difficult to use at technical level and often strongly alter the sol-gel reactions [3]. We chose to use FT-Raman and Infrared spectrocopies, which allow to remain as close as possible of the sol-gel process without altering it. The first steps of hydrolysis of group (IVb) metal alkoxides, more particularly titanium, modified by chlorides, carboxylic acids and alkanolamines have been investigated.

AbstractTiO2 gels are usually obtained through hydrolysis of titanium alkoxides. Chemical additives can however react with the precursor at a molecular level and therefore modify the hydrolysis-condensation reactions. Several examples will be described :acetic acid, acetylacetone or Cr(acac)3. The whole sol-gel process is followed all the way from the precursors to the gel and each step is characterized by spectroscopic experiments (Infra-red, N.M.R, E.S.R.). Some electronic properties of TiO2 gels are then described. Chemical addi-tives allow an optimization of thý sol-gel process according to each speci-fic applications : electrochromic display devices, photoanodes or photoche-mical reactions.

ABSTRACTHybrid materials based on polysiloxanes and metal oxides (SiO2, TiO2, ZrO2) were prepared by hydrosilation of allyl acetoacetate (AAA) modified metal alkoxides (M(OR)4; M = Ti, Zr; R = ethyl, isopropyl) or vinyl triethoxysilane with poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-hydrosiloxane) (PDMS-co-PMHS). The obtained compounds acted as single-source precursors in the sol-gel process. Various spectroscopic methods showed the complete functionalization of the polysiloxane chains with the complexes. When alcohols were used as solvents in the sol-gel process, hybrid nanoparticles were obtained, as observed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and spectroscopic methods such as NMR and FT-IR.

Hollow inorganic particles have attracted considerable interest for a variety of applications. In this work, yeast powder was used as a bio-template to fabricate yeast/titania core-shell spheres. A titania precursor was deposited via the hydrolysis of tetraisopropyl titanate. Triethanolamine was employed to control the reaction rate of the sol-gel process. The hollow titania particles with a diameter of approximately 4 m and a thickness of approximately 54 nm were successfully obtained after calcination of the core-shell spheres at 700 °C. The crystal structure of the particles was anatase. The specific surface area and the average pore diameter were 21.4 m2/g and 1.6 nm, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of the hollow particles was higher compared with that of solid particles.

Two chitosan silica hybrid materials were prepared by a two-step process in 78–84% yields using the homogeneous phase reaction of 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl isocyanate with chitosan dissolved in 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid (∼10% w/w), which was followed by NH4OH catalyzed hydrolysis of triethoxysilyl groups and then sol-gel process. These new hybrid materials were shown to adsorb up to about 95% of Fe3+ from 5 × 10−4 M aqueous solution at room temperature in 24 h.
