Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanostructured Thin Film by Sol- Gel Method and Evaluation of Gas Sensing Properties

Sol-Gel Synthesis of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Nanoparticles: Study of Structural and Optical Properties

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanopowders were synthesized by the sol–gel method from an ethanol solution of zinc sulfate heptahydrate in the presence of diethylene glycol surfactant. Detailed structural and microstructural investigations were carried out using x-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier tra...

Photodegradation of reactive red 222 using TiO2 nanostructured thin films prepared by modified sol-gel method

In this paper, a modified sol-gel method using peroxotitanic acid sol (PTA) was applied for the preparation of TiO2 nanostructured thin films on glass plates. The peroxotitanic acid sol was synthesized using titanium isopropoxide, isopropylalchol, H2O and hydrogen peroxide. TiO2 films were then calcined at 500oC and characterized by X-ray diffraction ...

Synthesis and properties evaluation of TiB2 nanoparticles produced by sol-gel method

In this study, TiB2 particles were synthesized by sol-gel method in nanometer size. First, the sol was prepared in a four-component system of alkoxide -boron carbide -water-alcohol based on the sol-gel chemical process under acidic conditions at pH = 5. Titanium tetra-isopropoxide and boron carbide were used as raw materials. After hydrolysis and gel formation followed by heat treatment, TiB2 n...

Structural and Optical Properties of Sr-Modified Bismuth Silicate Nanostructured Films Synthesized by Sol Gel Method

In this work, the effects of strontium addition on the structure and optical properties of nanostructured bismuth silicate (Bi4Si3O12) thin films prepared via sol-gel were studied. At first, different sols containing the optimum ratio of precursors were synthesized, and then, the prepared sols were coated on the substrate via dip coating. The dip coated samples were dried at 100oC and, in order...
