AbstractThe temperature evolution of the crystalline structure of the nanophases found in sol-gel MgO, TiO2 and ZrO2 systems was analyzed by performing x-ray powder diffraction. The structure and concentration of each phase was determined by using the Rietveld technique. The effect of doping MgO and TiO2 systems with platinum was also studied.

ABSTRACTNanophases of sol-gel zirconia were prepared with HCl, C2H4O2 and NH4OH as hydrolysis catalysts, and sulfated with H2SO4. They were analyzed by using X-ray powder diffraction, and their crystalline structure was refined by using the Rietveld method. All samples annealed below 300 °C were amorphous. The non-sulfated samples crystallized around 350 °C, while the sulfated samples crystallized around 600 °C, when they started loosing sulfate ions. In the initial stage of crystallization, both the tetragonal and monoclinic nanophases coexisted, with the tetragonal as the main phase. Annealing the samples at higher temperatures transformed the tetragonal nanophase, stabilized by OH ions, into the monoclinic one.

The composites based on magnesium ferrite and carbon nitride were synthesized by the sol-gel method in combination with thermochemical condensation. The effect of the synthesis method on the crystalline structure, the phase and chemical composition, and the morphology of composites was studied by the X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy techniques. It was found that, depending on the conditions of the sol-gel stages, the initiation of self-combustion high-temperature synthesis and melanin thermochemical condensation, composites with different crystalline structure and morphology were prepared. The obtained results are important for the development of the heterogeneous Fenton- and photo-Fenton catalysts based on magnesium ferrite and carbon nitride composites.


High purity barium titanate BaTiO3 was successfully synthesized by using the sol-gel technique. Barium acetate Ba(CH3COO)2 and tetrabutyl titanate, Ti(C4H9O)4 was dissolved moderately in the solvent of glacial acetic acid and ethanol was added as the chemical modifier. The synthesized BaTiO3 nanoparticle was calcined at the temperature range of 700 ºC to 1100 ºC. The powders were further characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fined BaTiO3 powders result indicates the phase of tetragonal structures and high crystallites of BaTiO3. It was observed that the crystallinity and particle size of BaTiO3 is greatly influenced by the calcination temperature.

NdSr 2 RuCu 2 O x material has been prepared as polycrystalline powder by solid state reaction. The compound has been investigated by synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results show that the average crystal structure is a disordered cubic perovskite with Nd and Sr cations occupying the same site and the same substitution is found for Cu and Ru atoms. A comparison between the crystal structure and morphology of this compound and the superconducting tetragonal GdSr 2 RuCu 2 O 8 is also discussed.

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%.

Nanosized La0.75K0.05Ba0.05Sr0.15MnO3 manganite have been synthesized using sol-gel method. Afterwards, the samples were sintered at eight different temperature ranging from 650 to 1000 °C. Phase purity, crystal structure and the morphology of the sample have been examined using X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope. It has been found that different higher sintering temperature greatly affect the phase purity and crystallite size of the sample. Regardless of the sintering temperature, all the samples crystallized in rhombohedral structure with R-3c space group. The crystallite size of the samples is found to increase from 41.59 nm up to 73.42 nm as the sintering temperature increases. Further analysis from XRD result shows that sintering temperature also affect the average Mn-O bond length and Mn-O-Mn bond angle of the sample. The average Mn-O bond length is found to increase while the average Mn-O-Mn bond angle tends to decrease as sintering temperature increases. SEM measurement shows that various grain size ranging from ~100 nm up to ~ 350 nm exists in all the sample regardless the sintering temperature.

Composite cathodes made of perovskite La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3 (LSCF) and SDC carbonates (SDC-(Li/Na)2CO3) were investigated in relation to their structure, morphology, thermal expansion coefficient and porosity. As a first step, the LSCF powder was prepared by sol-gel technique. This was followed by the preparation of the LSCF-SDC carbonates composite cathode by mixing the LSCF with SDC-(Li/Na)2CO3 electrolyte via solid state reaction in various compositions, i.e. 30, 40 and 50 wt.%, namely 70LSCF-30SDC7030, 60LSCF-40SDC7030 and 50LSCF-50SDC7030, respectively. The powder mixtures were then calcined at 680oC. The resultant powder was fine with surface area of about 3.39-7.42 m2/g and particle size of 0.56-0.66µm. The powder consists of two distinct phases, i.e. LSCF and SDC-(Li/Na)2CO3 as confirmed with x-ray diffraction. The microstructures were observed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Increasing the amount of the SDC-(Li/Na)2CO3 electrolyte in the composite cathode was found to bring the thermal expansion of the cathode closer to that of the electrolyte. The cathode pellets were later compacted at different pressures (27, 32 and 37 MPa) and sintered at 600oC. The optimum porosity (20.99-24.98%) was achieved for samples with SDC-(Li/Na)2CO3 content of 30-50% sintered at 600oC and cold pressed at 37 MPa.

We demonstrated a synthetic process on the glass doped with AgInS2nanocrystals through sol-gel method under a controlled atmosphere. X-ray powder diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectra revealed that the AgInS2crystalline phase had formed in the glass matrix. Transmittance electron microscopy showed that these AgInS2crystals had spherical shape and good dispersed form in the glass matrix, and their diameter distribution was mainly focused on three size regions. Furthermore, the glass doped with AgInS2nanocrystals exhibited three photoluminescence peaks located at 1.83 eV, 2.02 eV, and 2.21 eV, which were ascribed to the introduction of AgInS2nanocrystals in the glass.
