AbstractWhile the sol-gel polymerizations of tetraalkoxy- and organotrialkoxysilanes have been extensively studied, there have been few reports of similar investigations with the analogous tetraalkoxygermanium and organotrialkoxygermanium compounds. Germanium alkoxides have received less attention due, in part to their higher cost, but also their greater reactivity towards hydrolysis and condensation reactions. Germanium oxide materials are potentially interesting because the Ge-O-Ge linkage is labile (compared with the siloxane bond in silica gels and polysilsesquioxanes) opening up the possibility of further chemical modification of the polymeric architecture. This may permit hydrolytic reorganization of germanium oxide networks under relatively mild conditions. In this paper, we will present the results of our investigations of the solgel polymerizations of tetraethoxygermanium 1, tetraisopropoxygermanium 2, and methyltriethoxy-germanium 3 to afford network materials as both xerogels and aerogels.

Metal–bioorganic compounds of vanadium pentoxide and bovine serum albumin (BSA) (Fraction V) were obtained by using sol–gel method. Series of the samples (BSA)xV2O[Formula: see text]H2O, where [Formula: see text], 0.01 and 0.001, were originally produced by the synthesis of vanadium pentoxide xerogels and subsequent blending with water-dissolved BSA in appropriate molar ratios. It was evident that the gelation process does not occur for [Formula: see text]. For the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies, the thin layers of these materials were prepared by drying the gel onto the glass and mica substrates. The surface morphology of the samples was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. It follows from the analysis of experimental XPS spectra of (BSA)xV2O[Formula: see text]H2O that the nitrogen ions in pure albumin and in (BSA)[Formula: see text]V2O[Formula: see text]H2O are present in imine, amine and protonated amine groups. The additional protonated amine arises when the concentration of albumin in (BSA)xV2O[Formula: see text]H2O is low ([Formula: see text]). Increasing the amount of albumin results in decrease of the number of oxygen ions bonded to vanadium. At the same time (with increase of albumin), the component of oxygen bounded to carbon and nitrogen is increasing. In the samples with greater amount of albumin, the reduction of vanadium ions occurs. This means that the trivalent and tetravalent vanadium ions are present together with pentavalent ones.

A series of water-soluble silicon oxide materials was synthesized by the sol-gel reaction of tetramethoxysilane (TMOS)/3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMOS) mixtures catalyzed by hydrochloric acid with varying TMOS/APTMOS ratios. Increase in TMOS composition made the products less water-soluble, and the richest TMOS composition for the water-soluble silicon oxide materials was found to be TMOS/APTMOS = 7/3 (mol/mol). Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy of a 10 wt% aqueous solution of the product with TMOS/APTMOS = 7/3 showed a high transmittance in the visible region. Its infrared spectrum showed an absorptionband attributable to the Si–O bond, and the 29Si dipole decoupled/magic angle spinning–nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum exhibited signals in the regions of T3, Q3, and Q4, indicating a dense siloxane network structure. A peak due to an ordered structure with a 1.76 nm periodicity was observed in the x-ray diffraction profile, and a stripe pattern was observed in the transmission electron microscopy image. These results indicate that the rodlike silicon oxide macromolecules with a 1–2-nm diameter stack parallel. Thus a silicon oxide material with nano-ordered structure was successfully formed and such a structure produced the water solubility.

ABSTRACTHybrid siloxane-oxide systems were prepared by sol-gel techniques. Siloxane precursors are either monomeric species, dimethyldiethoxysilane, or OH-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes. The oxide component is introduced via metallic alkoxides, M(OR)n (M=Si, Ti, Zr). Transparent materials from flexible to brittle gels, can be obtained over a large M/siloxane range. The structure of the various systems was investigated by 29Si MAS-NMR. The signals due to the difunctional Si units, (CH3)2SiO, depend strongly on the nature of M and on the M/siloxane ratio. Structural models are proposed, ranging from single phase systems with highly interconnected siloxane and oxide units, to nanocomposites made of polysiloxane chains crosslinked with oxide-based particles.

Vanadium-titanium-hydroquinone oxide bronze, V1.67Ti0.33O5±δ /HQ (HQ-hydroquinone), was synthesized by using the sol–gel method. Vanadium pentoxide powder, titanium dihydride, hydrogen peroxide and hydroquinone were used as the starting materials to produce bronze. The composition of the synthesized compound was compared with V1.67Ti0.33O5±δ∙nH2O/HQ xerogel data. The xerogel and bronze were investigated by means of the XPS method. Analysis of the V–O region of XPS spectra showed that vanadium ions in xerogel ocurr in V5+ and V4+ states. In bronze, these ions are in a stable V5+ state. The oxygen in xerogel can be associated with O2- ions, hydroxide grouping and water. Oxygen only exists in bronze in the form of O2- ions and hydroxyl groups. Titanium ions in both cases are in a stable Ti4+ state.

The elimination of antibiotics occurring in the natural environment has become a great challenge in recent years. Among other techniques, the photocatalytic degradation of this type of pollutant seems to be a promising approach. Thus, the search for new photoactive materials is currently of great importance. The present study concerns the sol–gel synthesis of mono, binary and ternary TiO2-based materials, which are used as active photocatalysts. The main goal was to evaluate how the addition of selected components—zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) and/or zinc oxide (ZnO)—during the synthesis of TiO2-based materials and the temperature of thermal treatment affect the materials’ physicochemical and photocatalytic properties. The fabricated mixed oxide materials underwent detailed physicochemical analysis, utilizing scanning-electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), low-temperature N2 sorption (BET model), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The synthesized mixed oxide materials were used as photocatalysts in the heterogeneous photodegradation of tetracycline (TC). The physicochemical properties of the fabricated photocatalysts, including morphology, crystalline and textural structure, as well as the pH of the reaction system in the photocatalytic tests, were taken into account in determining their photo-oxidation activity. LC–MS/MS analysis was used to identify the possible degradation products of the selected antibiotic.
