In this paper, indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles has been prepared by chemical methods under given conditions with solution of indium chloride (InCl3·4H2O), tin chloride (SnCl4·5H2O) in ammonia solution. The samples were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses after heat treatments. The SEM results showed that, the size of the ITO particles pr...

This study aims to shed light on processing pathways towards functional silicate ceramics, which show some promise in various emerging applications, including dielectrics and bioactive implant materials. Polycrystalline ceramics of Neso, Soro Inosilicate families were synthesised by three different techniques: (i) a co-precipitation method, (ii) modified sol-gel method (iii) standard solid-stat...

A new class of near-infrared (NIR) reflectance pigments based on Co 1?x Mg x Cr 2?y Al y O 4 (x = 0–1 and 0–2) was synthesised using the Pechini-type sol-gel process. The developed powders were characterised by thermogravimetry differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet–visible diffuse spectroscopy, colour Commission Internationale del'Eclairage (CIE) 1976 (L * a b ...

Yb/Er codoped Gd3Ga5O12 nanocrystalline upconverting phosphors were produced by the sol-gel pechini method at 1000 °C annealing temperature. The phosphor structure, morphological features, and luminescent properties of fabricated material studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HR-TEM), photoluminescence measurements (PL). Upconversion...

A series of Yb(3+)-Er(3+) and Yb(3+)-Er(3+)-Tm(3+) codoped LaOF nanocrystals were synthesized via a modified sol-gel Pechini method. The phases and morphologies as well as the luminescence properties of the as-prepared samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and upconversion luminescence (UCL) spectra, respectively. Under 980 nm near in...

A new nanophotocatalysts series of M2Zr2O7 (M = Mn, Cu, and Fe) doped Fe2Zr2O7 systems were prepared via sol-gel using the pechini method, characterized, tested in photocatalytic degradation olive mill wastewater (OMW). The materials was evaluated by measuring total phenolic compounds (TPCs) Folin-Ciocalteu method for variable pH under a commercial LED lamp (45 W). removal TPCs measured at diff...

Tm(3+), Er(3+), Tm(3+)/Er(3+), Tm(3+)/Er(3+)/Eu(3+) single, double and triple activator ion/ions doped nanocrystalline BaGd2O4 (BG) phosphors were prepared by a Pechini type sol-gel process. After annealing at 1300 °C, X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed their orthorhombic structure. Field-emission transmission electron microscope images of the BG sample indicated a nanoneedle-type morphology....

Trivalent lanthanide (Eu(3+), Tb(3+) and Dy(3+)) ions activated tunable color emitting BaGd2O4 (BG) phosphors were synthesized by a facile Pechini-type sol-gel process. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirmed the orthorhombic phase after annealing at 1300 °C for 5 h. Morphological studies were performed based on the analysis of transmission electron microscopy images, which showed needle type n...
