Photoluminescence Properties of Silica Aerogel During Sintering Process

We report photoluminescence spectra measured for two series of silica aerogel sintered at 1000°C in different time intervals. In the photoluminescence spectra of nonsintered sample, bands at 1.8, 2.0 and 2.2 eV are identified. During sintering process, the bands at 1.8 and 2.0 eV decrease and vanish, while the band at 2.2 eV shows more complicated behavior. According to infrared spectra of the same samples we find that the photoluminescence band at 1.8 eV originates from nonbridged oxygen hole center defect, and that at 2.0 eV originates from silane in the gel network. Nonstoichiometric SiOx causes photoluminescence band at 2.2 eV.     

Electrochemical Properties of Vanadium Oxide Aerogels and Aerogel Nanocomposites

The electrochemical properties of high surface area transition metal oxide aerogels are extremely interesting because aerogels serve to amplify surface effects. As a result, the electrochemical properties are dominated by surfaces rather than by bulk behavior. In the case of vanadium oxide aerogels this leads to extraordinary electrochemical properties, including an extremely high capacity for lithium and electrochemical responses that are both battery-like and capacitor-like. By exploiting sol-gel synthesis, it is possible to synthesize nanocomposite electrodes in which aerogels are in intimate contact with carbon nanotubes. The resulting nanocomposites exhibit superior electrochemical properties, especially at high discharge.

Preparation of Alumina Aerogel Films by Low Temperature CO2 Supercritical Drying Process

Alumina aerogel thin films were formed by a new synthesis route. Sols were prepared by the Yoldas process. Gels were formed by sol evaporation in a few hours. Films were prepared by dip coating glass or alumina substrates into both the sols and the gels. Aerogel films with special morphology were produced for the first time by exchanging the film solvent with acetone after the dip coating, followed by supercritical drying. The morphology of the films, studied by SEM and TEM, consists of fiber-like network of round chains (≈0.1 μm thick), and pores (0.1–0.5 μm in diameter). It is shown that the fibers contain a homogeneous arrangement of sol particles, 2–4 nm in size. Formation of this microstructure can be attributed to phase separation in the alumina-water-acetone system in a 2D film geometry. A conceptual model for the film development is proposed.

Characterisation and Catalytic Properties of Vanadium Oxide Supported on Alumina Prepared by Sol-Gel Method

Vanadia-alumina xerogels were prepared by sol-gel method using organic precursors of metal and acetic acid as hydrolysis source. The purpose of this work is to study the change in the structure of dispersed vanadia as a function of preparation parameters, mainly the hydrolysis ratio k = [CH₃COOH]/[Al(O-s-Bu)₃] and the vanadium content V/V + Al (%).The amount of acetic acid affects considerably the solid texture, thus the pore size increases with the k ratio. In the same time, ⁵¹V NMR spectroscopy shows a decrease in the vanadium coordination from six-fold to fourfold. The investigation by temperature programmed reduction (TPR) shows that the reducibility of catalysts is determined in the order: K = 3 > K = 2 > K = 1. Furthermore, the catalytic activity in paraxylen oxidation follows a trend similar to that observed in TPR.The increase of vanadium content from 5 to 10%, favours the association of vanadium monomeric species, resulting in a new surface species. Hence, the coordination of vanadium changes from tetrahedral to octahedral, which induces a fall in partial oxidation selectivity.

Stability of Nanoporous Silica Aerogel Dispersion as Wettability Alteration Agent

This work studies the stability of silica aerogel aqueous dispersion for wettability alteration in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes. Modified silica aerogel is synthesized with cheap water glass as the precursor, and ambient pressure drying method. Brine composition, brine concentration and temperature of oil reservoirs are the most important parameters for success of wettability alteration processes in EOR. Stability of Silica aerogel aqueous dispersions in NaCl, MgCl₂ and combinations of them are surveyed. Brines at different concentrations, 10000, 20000, 40000 ppm, are used to determine stability conditions. Stability at 30°C and 75°C are surveyed, and the results are reported. DLVO and non-DLVO theories are used for modeling the stability of nanodispersion.     

Sol-Gel Route to Direct Formation of Silica Aerogel Microparticles Using Supercritical Solvents

A simple and versatile method to obtain silica aerogel particles based on the hydrolysis and subsequent condensation of silicon alkoxides in supercritical fluids is proposed. This microparticle production route reduces the number of steps of traditional microparticle sol-gel processing.A case example is explained in more detail. Spherical and fiber silica morphologies were obtained by a one step method using a sol-gel process with supercritical acetone as a solvent. Particle size was controlled by varying the relative amounts of alkoxysilane, water and acetone. The resulting materials are influenced by a large number of experimental parameters; it has been observed that a quite relevant one is the supercritical fluid venting rate. The morphology of the particles was characterized by electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Alternatively, a low temperature synthesis can be performed by using supercritical carbon dioxide as solvent and formic acid as condensation agent.

Preconcentration and Spectrophotometric Determination of Chromium (VI) and Total Chromium in Drinking Water by the Sorption of Chromium Diphenylcarbazone with Surfactant Coated Alumina

Abstract

A simple and inexpensive method for determining chromium (VI) in drinking water by spectrophotometry after preconcentration with sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) coated alumina column is described. Chromium(VI) is reacted with diphenylcarbazide (DPC) and the Cr-DPC complex is quantitatively adsorbed onto a SDS coated alumina column from 800 ml of sample solution. The complex is then eluted with a 8 ml mixture of methanol, acetone and hydrochloric acid and determined by spectrophotometry. Total chromium can be determined after oxidation of chromium (III) to chromium (VI) by KMnO₄. The relative standard deviation (10 replicate analyses) at the 10 μg l^?1 of chromium (VI) and 10 μg l^?1 of total chromium were 3.5% and 3.4% and corresponding limits of detection (based on 3 σ) were 0.040 μg l^?1 and 0.033 μg l^?1, respectively.

Preparation of Silica Aerogel/Resin Composites and Their Application in Dental Restorative Materials

As the most advanced aerogel material, silica aerogel has had transformative industrial impacts. However, the use of silica aerogel is currently limited to the field of thermal insulation materials, so it is urgent to expand its application into other fields. In this work, silica aerogel/resin composites were successfully prepared by combining silica aerogel with a resin matrix for dental restoration. The applications of this material in the field of dental restoration, as well as its performance, are discussed in depth. It was demonstrated that, when the ratio of the resin matrix Bis-GMA to TEGDMA was 1:1, and the content of silica aerogel with 50 μm particle size was 12.5%, the composite achieved excellent mechanical properties. The flexural strength of the silica aerogel/resin composite reached 62.9546 MPa, which was more than five times that of the pure resin. Due to the presence of the silica aerogel, the composite also demonstrated outstanding antibacterial capabilities, meeting the demand for antimicrobial properties in dental materials. This work successfully investigated the prospect of using commercially available silica aerogels in dental restorative materials; we provide an easy method for using silica aerogels as dental restorative materials, as well as a reference for their application in the field of biomedical materials.

Characterization of Fumed Alumina/Silica/Titania in the Gas Phase and in Aqueous Suspension

Fumed oxide alumina/silica/titania was studied in comparison with fumed alumina, silica, titania, alumina/silica, and titania/silica by means of XRD, ¹H NMR, IR, optical, dielectric relaxation, and photon correlation spectroscopies, electrophoresis, and quantum chemical methods. The explored Al₂O₃/SiO₂/TiO₂ consists of amorphous alumina (22 wt%), amorphous silica (28 wt%), and crystalline titania (50 wt%, with a blend of anatase (88%) and rutile (12%)) and has a wide assortment of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites, which provide a greater acidity than that of individual fumed alumina, silica, or titania and an acidity close to that of fumed alumina/silica or titania/silica. The changes in the Gibbs free energy (ΔG) of interfacial water in an aqueous suspension of Al₂O₃/SiO₂/TiO₂ are close to the ΔG values of the dispersions of pure rutile but markedly lower than those of alumina, anatase, or rutile covered by alumina and silica. The zeta potential of Al₂O₃/SiO₂/TiO₂ (pH of the isoelectric point (IEP) equals ≈3.3) is akin to that of fumed titania (pH(IEP_TiO2) ≈ 6) at pH > 6, but it significantly differs from the ζ of fumed alumina (pH(IEP_Al2O3) ≈ 9.8) at any pH value as well as those of fumed silica, titania/silica, and alumina/silica at pH < 6. The particle size distribution in the diluted aqueous suspensions of Al₂O₃/SiO₂/TiO₂ studied by means of photon correlation spectroscopy depends relatively slightly on pH in contrast to the titania/silica or alumina/silica dispersions. Theoretical calculations of oxide cluster interaction with water show a high probability of hydrolysis of Al–O–Ti and Si–O–Ti bonds strained at the interface of alumina/titania or silica/titania due to structural differences in the lattices of the corresponding individual oxides. Ab initio calculated chemical shift δ_H values of H atoms in different hydroxyl groups at the oxide clusters and in bound water molecules are in agreement with the ¹H NMR data and show a significant impact of charged particles (H₃O⁺ or OH⁻) on the average δ_H values of water droplets with (H₂O)_n at n between 2 and 48.
