The application of Fe–TiO2 photocatalysis using sol–gel method by hot–dipping technique was investigated. Then, the influences of fabrication parameters, molar ratios of Fe to TiO2, the sol temperature, poly ethylene glycol (PEG) content and the number of dipping cycles on the photocatalytic activity in visible light region were mainly studied. The experimental results revealed the sample with ...

Optical properties and structure of antireflective coatings (AR) deposited from hydrolysed TEOS sol have been characterized in detail. The influence of various parameters on the formation of colloidal silica antireflective coatings by the dip-coating technique has been investigated. For the characterization of colloidal silica films, the UV-visible spectroscopy, laser ellipsometry, and atomic f...

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 ...

Nanostructured ZnO thin films were prepared by sol-gel dip coating technique. Zinc acetate and ammonium hydroxide were used as precursors and ethanol was as solvent. Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) solution was added drop-wise under vigorous stirring to obtain the sol-gel of different pH (varying from 6.9 to 7.2). ZnO thin films were obtained by dipping the glass substrates for few seconds and then ...

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...

the synthesis of titania via sol-gel method has been widely studied. in the present work, titania was deposited onto a titanium substrate via sol-gel method. different processing parameters such as the repetition number of dipping/heat treatment process and dipping time have been studied to obtain the homogenous titania coating. phase and microstructural evaluation of the powder and coating sam...
