A novel green nonaqueous sol-gel process was developed to prepare 3mol% Y2O3-doped ZrO2 nanopowder from zirconium oxychloride and without need for washing of the obtained particles. It was shown that highly dispersive nanometer-scale zirconia powder with the particle size of 15-25 nm and BET surface area of 41.2m2/g can be prepared. The sintering behaviour was also investigated. Density of the translucent body sintered at 1400?C is 98.7 ? 0.3% of its theoretical density and the surface and cross section areas are dense without holes or other defects. The bending strength of the sintered sample is 928 ? 64MPa.

Pd-doped SiO2 organic-inorganic membrane materials were prepared via a sol-gel process. The sol stability is characterized by sol particle size and zeta potential analysis. And the properties of the Pd-doped SiO2 organic-inorganic membrane materials are investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FTIR), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) analysis and N2 absorption-adsorption measurement. The results showed that the sol particle size distributions are relatively narrow. With the increase of Pd content, the sol particle sizes slightly increase and the zeta potentials decreases until the palladium/tetraethylorthosilicate molar ratio closes to the isoelectric point. After calcined at 350 °C under H2 atmosphere, the added PdCl2 is reduced to metallic Pd0 completely, and the hydrophobic Si−CH3 groups exist in the SiO2 network. The Pd atoms have a lower concentration on the surface and more Pd atoms embedded in the SiO2 matrix. The Pd-doped SiO2 membrane materials calcined at 350 °C with a palladium/tetraethylorthosilicate molar ratio of 0.15 exhibit large BET surface area (up to 683.36 m2/g) and total pore volume (up to 0.386 cm3/g), as well as a mean pore diameter of about 2.26 nm.

AbstractA simple sol-gel process is proposed for synthesizing SnO2 nanopowders utilizing normal propanol and isopropanol mixture instead of just using normal alcohols such as ethanol, propanol or butanol for Sol preparation. No surfactant was used in this Sol preparation process. The structure of sol is studied by FT-IR-ATR technique. On altering propanol to isopropanol ratio, three different nanopowders were obtained. X-ray powder diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction pattern (SAED) and BET techniques were used to characterize prepared powders. Results show that smaller grain size was obtained via altering alcohols ratio. In addition, Merck commercial SnO2 powder was also used as a reference material for comparing purposes; because it has nanometer scale (ca. 60 nm). HRTEM images show that obtained nanopowders were polycrystalline and their average diameters fall into the range of 6–80 nm. Finally, the effect of alkoxide ligand size through sol-gel synthesis on product particle size is discussed.

ABSTRACTIn situ observation of the genesis and growth of silica-alumina structures during the sol-gel process has been carried out. Although the gross structure of the gel network is kinetically stabilized, in situ AFM study reveals that at nanometer scale, the internal structure of the gel is dynamic as shown by the rich and complex morphological transformations.
