sulfated titania nanoparticles (so42-/tio2 nps) were synthesized using titanium tetraisopropoxide (ttip) by the sol-gel method. the structure and morphology of the prepared nanocatalyst was characterized using x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and brunauer–emmett–teller (bet) methods as well as fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) and energy dispersive x-ray (edx) spectr...

tio2 nanorods are synthesized by a thermal corrosion. in present work, synthesis of tio2 nanorods in anatase, rutile and ti8o15 phases, by using the sol-gel method and alkaline corrosion are reported. the morphologies and crystal structures of tio2 nanorods are characterized by use of field emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and x-ray diffractometer techniques. the o...

calcium doped nickel ferrite powders have been prepared by sol-gel combustion technique. metal nitrates, such as calcium nitrate, nickel nitrate and ferric nitrate, were used as the source materials and citric acid and polyvinyl alcohol were used as the burning agent and agglomeration reducing agent, respectively. the average crystallite size of the prepared ferrite was in the order of ~70- 92 ...

heteropoly acid promoted nanoparticle of nickel oxide samples were prepared by sol-gel method using heteropoly acids. prepared composite was characterized by xrd, ft-ir and icp technique. in this work, we have reported bromination of phenol, its derivatives and some aromatic compounds. the liquid phase bromination of phenol was performed using heteropoly acids immobilized nanoparticle of nickel...

The release of nitric oxide (NO) from polymers has proven to be highly effective at inhibiting platelet adhesion and thus enhancing the blood compatibility of medical implants. Micropatterning techniques were used to design surfaces that release NO while preserving the underlying substrate for other applications (e.g., sensors). Micropatterned NO-releasing substrates based on aminosilane-contai...

The sol–gel technique is a highly flexible technique for fabrication of oxide glasses, and various researchers have previously reported fluorescence studies of Er-doped sol–gel films and monoliths. Here we report the fabrication of Er-doped strip-loaded sol–gel silicate waveguides, using a silica–titania–alumina host composition, and Er concentrations up to f1.1=10 Er rcm, for possible applicat...
