The implications of organically-modified silica-based materials in electrochemical science is reviewed along with some selected recent trends in the field of functionalized and sol–gel silica electrochemistry. These recent trends include the electro-assisted generation of organosilica films on solid electrode surfaces, the preparation and applications of sol–gel derived composite (carbon, gold,...

We report on the fabrication and characterization of thick UV-patternable hybrid sol-gel films by spin coating using a modified sol-gel process. Thick coating of 25 microns with crack-free surface can be produced by one spin coating step. Thick layers of more than 100 μm can be obtained with a multi-coating process. Characterization using different techniques including optical microscope and at...

Abstract Knowledge about the nucleation, growth, and formation mechanisms during materials synthesis using sol-gel solution-based methods is important to design a material with desired properties. We used aqueous chemical as an environmentally friendly highly flexible route tailored reproducible of oxide nanomaterials thin films. For studies hydrothermal in situ cell synchrotron X-ray diffracti...

high purity lead titanate nanopowders in tetragonal form have been successfully prepared bycitric acid gel method using lead nitrate and tetra-n-butyl titanate as pb and ti sourcesrespectively and citric acid as complexing reagent. the precursors were calcined at varioustemperatures ranging from 450 °c to 600 °c for 2 h. fourier transform infraredspectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) an...

Simultaneous extraction of the morpholino dithiocarbamate (MDTC) chelates of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) ion from aqueous samples was accomplished by applying fabric phase sorptive extraction (FPSE) using a cellulose fabric modified with a sol-gel/polytetrahydrofuran composite. Following extraction, the chelates were separated by HPLC on a reverse phase C18 column with acetonitrile:water (65:35; v/v) as...

In this work, the photokilling of Escherichia coli using a “one-pot” synthesized suspension of anatase crystallized nanoparticles is evaluated. Preliminary to the biological tests concerning the antibacterial efficiency, the fabricated suspension, using a derived sol-gel process in soft chemistry condition, is characterized. Structural properties of the nanoparticles are investigated using Elec...

Pore size of mesoporous materials is crucial for their surface grafting. This article develops a novel multifunctional microsphere with a large pore size mesoporous silica shell (ca. 10.3 nm) and a magnetic core (Fe₃O₄), which is fabricated using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as pore-forming agents, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as silicon source through a sol-gel process. Compared wi...

Recently, growing interest in implantable bionics and biochemical sensors spurred the research for developing non-conventional electronics with excellent device characteristics at low operation voltages and prolonged device stability under physiological conditions. Herein, we report high-performance aqueous electrolyte-gated thin-film transistors using a sol-gel amorphous metal oxide semiconduc...
