V2O5/SiO2 nanoparticles was prepared via an one-pot sol gel method from vanadyl- acetylacetonate and tetraethylorthosilicate in refluxing MeOH, followed by calcination at 700 °C for 2 hours. The resultant nanoparticles was characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), TGA and FTIR techniques. Rapid and efficient ar...

Adsorption of methanol and ethanol over mesoporous siliceous material are studied in the current paper. The pure mesoporous silica is prepared using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as silica source and dodecylamine as template at low pH. The prepared material was characterized using nitrogen adsorption,nX-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The adsorption kinetics of me...

In this study a special type of silicoaluminophosphate with opal structure (Opal-SAPO) was prepared under microwave condition using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), triethanolamine (TEA), aluminiumisopropoxid and phosphoric acid 85%. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric (TGA) and Fourier Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).The crystalline product showed a good act...

Thin silica films were deposited on silicon wafers by the sol-gel technique, using spin coating. The sols were prepared by HC1 catalysis of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) diluted in ethanol, using different molar ratios, R, of H20:TEOS. The films were then baked at various temperatures, and characterised using ellipsometry, profilometry, optical scattering and infrared spectroscopy. It was foun...

In the fabrication of silica films by sol-gel synthesis, the role of various catalysts is systematically examined. The precursor solutions were made by mixing tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), ethanol and water in the molar ratio of 1 : 2 : 2. The spin coated films were thermally treated at various temperatures, and characterised using ellipsometry, molecular probe ellipsometry (MPE), infrared sp...

The reaction of γ-alumina with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) vapor at low temperatures selectively yields monomeric SiO(x) species on the alumina surface. These isolated (-AlO)3Si(OH) sites are characterized by PXRD, XPS, DRIFTS of adsorbed NH3, CO, and pyridine, and (29)Si and (27)Al DNP-enhanced solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The formation of isolated sites suggests that TEOS reacts preferent...

Studies on the synthesis of a hydrothermally prepared 33% porosity xTiO2•(1-x)SiO 2 (x=0.0001-0.04) catalyst with different tetra-N- propylammonium hydroxide/tetraethylorthosilicate molar ratios show that tetra -N-propylammonium ratio = 0.5 provides maximum selectivity butanone-2 formation. The analysis data use synthesized in presence containing xTiO •(1-x)SiO obtained by hydrothermal reaction...

The paper describes results of the numerical simulation and experimental characterization plasmonic gratings waveguides in optical range 1520 – 1630 nm. Gold structures were coated with a 630-nm thick tetraethylorthosilicate layer to achieve higher coupling efficiency for using lensed probes. We experimentally demonstrated gold input/output an about 3.8 ± 0.2 dB per grating. measured loss mode ...
