Nano ZnO/ montmorillonite composite were prepared by sol gel method under ultrasonic irradiation from directly mixing montmorillonite nano clay into Zinc gel. The Zn(CH3COO)2.2H2O and montmorillonite nano clay was used as precursor. The zinc acetate was dissolved in DI water and, NH3 (aq) solution was dropped into the zinc solution until pH 9 consequently the zinc gel was produced. The montmori...

The mixed oxide Zn1-xMgxO (x=0.01-0.2) were prepared by sol-gel synthesis using metal-organic precursors. Zn1-xMgxO films were grown on glass substrates using sol-gel deep and spin coating. Different thickness of films, annealed at various temperatures, were tried to observe the thickness and temperature effects on structural properties. The surface morphologies of all samples were characterize...

in this research, a sol gel autocaombustion route has been proposedto synthesize alumina-zirconia composite powders, usingammonium bicarbonate as a new fuel. then the effect of calcinationtemperature on phase transformation and crystallite sizes wasinvestigated. to characterize the products xrd, tem and betanalyses were used. xrd patterns of as-synthesized powder andcalcined powders at 1100 ◦c ...

Porosity reduction, packing, pore-size distribution, and anatase to rutile phase transformation behavior of nanostructured titania ceramics prepared from both peptized and unpeptized sols were studied and compared using XRD, DSC, and nitrogen-gas physisorption techniques. Precursor gels prepared from the peptized sol had a green density of about 70% after drying at 4 0 T , whereas the samples p...

Sn-TiO 2 nanocomposite coatings were prepared by sol-gel enhanced electrodeposition technique and the effect of c concentration on performance composite was investigated adding different volumes TiO sol to electrolyte. The microscopic morphology corrosion resistance characterized XRD tests, SEM hardness tests a series electrochemical tests. From test results, it found that coating had highest v...

Nanostructured hematite thin films are doped with zirconium successfully and also modified by introducing CNT using sol-gel method for their implementation as photo-electrode in photo-electrochemical (PEC) cell for hydrogen generation. XRD, UV-visible spectroscopy and PEC study techniques are used to characterize the thin films. The PEC responses of thin films are improved by introducing carbon...

the stabilized zirconia with different cu contents synthesized via sol-gel method. the samples were prepared by hydrolysis and condensation of orgnomatelic sol. after that the result gels were dried at 80 °c and then calcined at various temperatures.  ِ the differential thermal analysis (dta), x-ray diffraction (xrd), field emission scanning electronic microscopy (fesem) and transmission electro...

In this paper, LaBO3 perovskite type catalyst formulations were prepared by sol-gel auto combustion method using citric acid as the fuel. Activity of catalysts was tested in catalytic oxidation of toluene as a model of volatile organic compounds. LaCoO3 perovskite formulation showed the highest activity among LaBO3 (Fe, Mn and Co) perovskite catalysts. So, LaCoO3 perovskite based catalyst was s...

Pd doped WO3 fibers were synthesized by electro-spinning. The sol gel method was employed to prepare peroxopolytungstic acid (P-PTA). Palladium chloride and Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) was dissolved in the sol Pd:WO3 = 10% molar ratio. The prepared sol was loaded into a syringe connected to a high voltage of 18.3 kV and electrospun fibers were collected on the alumina substrates. Scanning elect...
