Au/SiO2 and Ag/SiO2 supported metal-nanoparticles (MNPs) were implemented to fabricate SiO2-based inorganic?Cinorganic hybrid sonogel films. Prepared Au/SiO2- and Ag/SiO2-MNPs exhibited low 2D-HCP crystallinity with particle diameters below 10?nm and homogeneous size distribution. The catalyst-free (CF) sonogel route was successfully implemented to produce these optically active nanocomposite films by doping the liquid sol-phase with these MNP systems and its subsequent deposition onto glass substrates via standard spin-coating procedures. The easy MNP-loading within the mesoporous dielectric sonogel network evidenced a huge chemical affinity between the silica sonogel hosting system and the guest SiO2-supported MNPs. This fact allowed us to fabricate high quality hybrid films suitable for cubic nonlinear optical (NLO) characterizations via the Z-Scan technique. Indeed, the hosting sonogel network provided adequate thermal and mechanical stability protecting the active MNPs from environment conditions and diminished their tendency to aggregate; thus, preserving their pristine optical properties and morphology, giving rise to stable sol?Cgel hybrid films appropriate for photonic applications. Comprehensive morphological, structural, spectroscopic and nonlinear photophysical characterizations were optimally performed to the developed hybrid films. Our results have shown that the crystalline nature of the implemented MNPs, their small sizes and appropriate guest?Chost stabilizing interactions play a crucial role in the observation of improved cubic NLO-properties of these MNP structures embedded within the highly pure CF-sonogel confinement. 相似文献

The synthesis of sol-gel materials induced by ultrasonic irradiation (sonolysis) is implemented as an alternative method for
the fabrication of highly pure organic-inorganic composites with good monolithic, mechanical and optical properties. Ultrasonic
irradiation, instead of commonly used basic- or acidic-catalyst was used to produce acoustical cavitation within the liquid
H2O/tetraethyl-ortosilicate (TEOS) reactants. This procedure forms a hydrolyzed-TEOS colloidal dispersion (sol) which produces,
after drying, a highly pure SiO2 network. The resulting SiO2 glass exhibits high porosity and allows the inclusion of several organic compounds in the colloidal sol-state. Novel, optical
active synthesized liquid crystalline (LC)-azo-compounds, bent shaped mesogens, cis- and trans-poly(1-ethynylpyrene)s, as well as fullerene (C60) spheres and classical organic dyes were successfully incorporated as dopant agents within the novel catalyst free (CF) SiO2-sonogel host matrix. Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy studies were carried out in order to characterize the optical
performance of both the CF-sonogel and several hybrid composites The pulsed laser photoacoustic technique (LPAT) was implemented
to determine thermodynamic phase transitions of LC-based hybrids and laser induced damage (photo-degradation) in dye-based
composites. Finally, comparative morphology studies between undoped reference samples and some doped composites were performed
by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), where an optimal TEOS/dopant concentration ratio, to obtain good mechanical properties among
the studied samples, has been found. 相似文献

TiO2–SiO2 composite nanoparticles were prepared by a sol–gel process. To obtain the assembly of TiO2–SiO2 composite nanoparticles, different molar ratios of Ti/Si were investigated. Polyurethane (PU)/(TiO2–SiO2) hybrid films were synthesized using the “grafting from” technique by incorporation of modified TiO2–SiO2 composite nanoparticles building blocks into PU matrix. Firstly, 3-aminopropyltriethysilane was employed to encapsulate TiO2–SiO2 composite nanoparticles’ surface. Secondly, the PU shell was tethered to the TiO2–SiO2 core surface via surface functionalized reaction. The particle size of TiO2–SiO2 composite sol was performed on dynamic light scattering, and the microstructure was characterized by X-ray diffraction and
Fourier transform infrared. Thermogravimetric analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) employed to study the hybrid
films. The average particle size of the TiO2–SiO2 composite particles is about 38 nm when the molar ratio of Ti/Si reaches to1:1. The TEM image indicates that TiO2–SiO2 composite nanoparticles are well dispersed in the PU matrix. 相似文献

Glasses have been synthesized in the system SiO2–Al2O3–Na2O–AlF3–LaF3–Er2O3. A base glass (in mol% 67SiO2–9Al2O3–20Na2O–Al2F6–3La2F6) was modified by 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2 and 5 mol% Er2O3, respectively. Glasses were prepared by conventional fusion method from 20 g batches. The glass transition temperature (T
g), the jump-like changes of the specific heat (ΔC
p) accompanying the glass transition and the enthalpy of crystallization (ΔH) were calculated. DTA measurements clearly reveal that the increase of the Er2O3 content in the glass changes the effects of crystallization and diminishes the thermal stability of the glassy network. In
the same time the changes in the transition temperature are observed. The formation of NaLaF4 and Na1.45La9.31(SiO4)6(F0.9O1.1) as a main phase was confirmed. The diminishing of the thermal stability was connected with erbium which incorporated into
Na1.45La9.31(SiO4)6(F0.9O1.1) structure. 相似文献

Titania–silica composite have been prepared using polyethylene glycol (PEG) with different molecular weights (M
w), PEG20000, PEG10000, and PEG2000, as template in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO2). The composite precursors were dissolved in SC CO2 and impregnated into PEG templates using SC CO2 as swelling agent and carrier. After removing the template by calcination at suitable temperature, the titania–silica composite
were obtained. The composite were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and nitrogen
sorption–desorption experiment. Photocatalytic activity of the samples has been investigated by photodegradation of methyl
orange. Results indicate that there are many Si–O–Ti linkages in the TiO2/SiO2 composite; the PEG template has a significant influence on the structure of TiO2/SiO2. In addition, the TiO2/SiO2 prepared with PEG10000 exhibited high photocatalytic efficiency. So this work supplies a clue to control and obtain the TiO2/SiO2 composite with different photocatalytic reactivity with the aid of suitable PEG template in supercritical CO2. 相似文献

Lithium aluminum silicate (LAS) glasses of compositions (wt%) 10.6Li2O–71.7SiO2–7.1Al2O3–4.9K2O–3.2B2O3–1.25P2O5–1.25TiO2 were prepared by the melt quench technique. Crystallization kinetics was investigated by the method of Kissinger and Augis–Bennett
using differential thermal analysis (DTA). Based on the DTA data, glass ceramics were prepared by single-, two-, and three-step
heat treatment schedules. The interdependence of different phases formed, microstructure, thermal expansion coefficient (TEC)
and microhardness (MH) was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermo-mechanical
analysis (TMA), and microhardness (MH) measurements. Crystallization kinetics revealed that Li2SiO3 is the kinetically favored phase with activation energy of 91.10 kJ/mol. An Avrami exponent of n = 3.33 indicated the dominance of bulk crystallization. Based upon the formation of phases, it was observed that the two-stage
heat treatment results in highest TEC glass ceramics. The single-step heat treatment yielded glass ceramics with the highest
MH. 相似文献

The complexes trans-[Ni(4-MP)2(NCS)2]·MeCN (1) and trans-[Ni(3-MP)2(NCS)2] (2) (4-MP = tri(4-methylphenyl)phosphine, 3-MP = tri(3-methylphenyl)phosphine) were prepared and characterized by IR, UV–visible,
NMR spectra, CV, TGA and single crystal X-ray crystallography. Both the complexes have planar geometry and are diamagnetic.
The Ni–P distances in both complexes are relatively short as a result of strong back donation from nickel to phosphorus. The
phenyl rings in the 3-MP analogue (2) show increased pitching with reference to the plane formed by the ipso carbons due to increased steric effects. For complex
(2), the N–Ni–N and P–Ni–P angles are significantly lower than the almost linear N–Ni–N and N–Ni–P angles observed for both
complex (1) and trans-[Ni(PPh3)2(NCS)2]. This observation indicates that the 3-methylphosphine ligand forces complex (2) to distort towards a tetrahedral geometry. IR spectra of both complexes show strong bands around 2,090 cm−1 due to N-coordinated thiocyanate, while the electronic spectra contain d–d transitions around 452 nm. Cyclic voltammograms
show that the irreversible one-electron reduction potentials increase in the following order: trans- [Ni(PPh3)2(NCS)2] < trans- [Ni(3-MP)2(NCS)2] < trans-[Ni(4-MP)2(NCS)2], revealing the electron releasing effect of the methyl groups. The planar complexes exhibit interallogony in coordinating
solvents. 相似文献

Compositionally graded Ba1−x
Sr

TiO3 (BST) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si and YSZ/Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by a modified sol–gel technique. The YSZ buffer layer was prepared by RF magnetron sputtering. The microstructure
of the graded BST films was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force
microscopy (AFM). The results showed that all the films have uniform and crack-free surface with a perovskite structure. The
graded BST film with an YSZ buffer layer has larger dielectric constant and lower dielectric loss. The leakage current density
of the graded BST film with an YSZ buffer layer lowers two orders than the film without buffer layer. The improved electric
properties of the graded films with an YSZ buffer layer was attributed to the YSZ buffer layer act as an excellent seeding
layer to enhance the graded BST film growth. 相似文献

Ferroelectric thin films of Nd and Mn co-doped bismuth titanate, Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3−x
Mn
x
O12 (BNTM) (x = 0–0.1), were fabricated on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si(100) substrates by a sol–gel technique. The BNTM films had a polycrystalline perovskite structure and uniform and dense
surface morphologies. A lattice distortion was observed in the BNTM films due to Mn ion doping. The ferroelectric measurement
of the films indicated that the values of coercive field (E
c
) decreased gradually with the increase of the Mn content (x), however, the remanent polarization (P
r
) increase firstly and then decrease with the increase of x. The sample with x = 0.05 had optimum electrical properties and a maximum 2P
r
value. The 2P
r
and 2E
c
values of the film at a maximum applied electric field of 400 kV/cm were 38.3 μC/cm2 and 180 kV/cm, respectively. Moreover, this BNTM capacitors did not show fatigue behaviors after 1.0 × 1010 switching cycles at a frequency of 1 MHz, suggesting a fatigue-free character. The main reason for the increase of the 2P
r
and the decrease of the 2E
c
might be attributed to the lattice distortion in BNTM films due to Mn ion doping. 相似文献

Organic–inorganic hybrid thin films have been prepared by a modified sol–gel route using tetraethyl orthosilicate as the inorganic
(silica) source, methyl methacrylate (MMA) as the organic source, and 3-trimetoxysilylpropyl methacrylate as the coupling
agent. The films were prepared by spin coating on Si (100) p-type substrates and subsequently heat-treated at 90 °C. Fourier
transform infrared results reveal a set of absorption bands associated with the formation of both PMMA and SiO2 phases in the hybrid films. Capacitance–voltage (C–V) characterization was carried out on metal-insulator-metal (MIM) and metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures, with
the hybrid films as the insulator layer to evaluate the electrical properties. We present a detailed comparative analysis
of the dielectric constant obtained from C–V characterization in the frequency range of 1 kHz–1 MHz. For the PMMA-SiO2 hybrid material the dielectric constant values obtained were around 9.5 at 1 MHz which is superior to the values reported
for thermally grown SiO2 and pure PMMA materials. The interface state density for PMMA-SiO2 on Si was approximately 1010 cm−2, which is comparable to the standard SiO2/Si structures. Due to the electrical behavior and low processing temperatures this hybrid dielectric is a very promising
candidate for flexible electronic devices and its subsequent implementation does not require complex equipment. 相似文献

The macroscopic cross-section Σ and average neutron fluence in matter Φ are usable factors to comment neutron shielding property of samples. In this paper, we have used MgB2, NaBH4 and KBH4 samples including different percentages of boron. Neutron macroscopic cross-section measurements of them have been done by
using a source of mono-energetic neutrons (E
eff = 4.5 MeV 241Am–Be). Average neutron fluence values and double differential fast neutron flux distributions of each samples calculated
by using FLUKA Monte Carlo code. Also half value layers (HVLs) of samples are compared to paraffin which is one of the most
neutron moderators. As a result, growing boron concentration can raise neutron shielding property of materials. 相似文献

The main aim of this work was to synthesize the magnesium orthostannate doped by terbium cations and tested whether these
materials can be used for colouring of the different materials, e.g. organic binder and ceramic glazes. Initial composition
of pigments was counted according the general formula 2MgO(1 − x)SnO2–xTbO2, where values of x varied from 0.1 to 0.5 in 0.1 steps. The simultaneous TG/DTA measurements of mixture containing tin oxide, magnesium carbonate
hydroxide and terbium oxide showed that the formation of a new compound started at temperature 1,029 °C, but single-phase
system was not prepared. Granulometric compositions of samples that were prepared by calcining at temperatures 1,300–1,400 °C
are characterized by values of median (d
50) in range 4–8 μm. The calcining temperature 1,500 °C caused the increase of the particle sizes at around 12 μm. The composition
of sample 2MgO–1.5SnO2–0.5TbO2 and heating temperature 1,500 °C are the most suitable conditions for preparation of colourfully interesting pigment that
can be recommended also for colouring of ceramic glazes. Especially, for colouring of decorative lead containing glaze G 07091
containing 5 wt% of PbO and 8 wt% of Al2O3. 相似文献

The poly(o-anisidine)–sulfuric acid–glucose oxidase (POA–H2SO4–GOx) electrode has been investigated in the present work. Platinum electrode was used for the synthesis of poly (o-anisidine)–sulfuric acid (POA–H2SO4) film using galvanostatic method with 0.2 M o-anisidine, 1.0 M H2SO4 solution, 1.0 pH and 2 mA/cm2 applied current density. The synthesized film was characterized using electrochemical technique, conductivity measurement,
UV–visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. GOX was immobilized on synthesized POA–H2SO4 film by cross-linking via glutaraldehyde in phosphate and acetate buffer. The Michaelis–Menten constant (
K\textm¢K_{\text{m}}^\prime ) was determined for the immobilized enzyme. The glucose oxidase electrode shows the maximum current response at pH 5.5 and
potential 0.6 V. The sensitivity of POA–H2SO4–GOX electrode in phosphate and acetate buffer has been recorded. The results of this study reveal that the phosphate buffer gives
fast response as compared to acetate buffer in amperometric measurements. 相似文献

In this work, an enzyme biosensor based on the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on SiO2/BSA/Au/thionine/nafion-modified gold electrode was fabricated successfully. Firstly, nafion was dropped on the surface of
the gold electrode to form a nafion film followed by chemisorption of thionine (Thi) as an electron mediator via the ion-exchange
interaction between the Thi and nafion. Subsequently, the SiO2/BSA/Au composite nanoparticles were assembled onto Thi film through the covalent bounding with the amino groups of Thi. Finally,
HRP was immobilized on the SiO2/BSA/Au composite nanoparticles due to the covalent conjugation to construct an enzyme biosensor. The surface topographies
of the SiO2/BSA/Au composite nanoparticles were investigated by using scanning electronic microscopy. The stepwise self-assemble procedure
of the biosensor was further characterized by means of cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The enzyme biosensor showed
high sensitivity, good stability and selectivity, a wide linear response to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the range of 8.0 × 10-6 ∼ 3.72 × 10-3 mol/L, with a detection limit of 2.0 × 10-6 mol/L. The Michaelies-Menten constant KMapp K_M^{app} value was estimated to be 2.3 mM. 相似文献

This research is part of a European project (namely, CODICE project), main objective of which is modelling, at a multi-scale,
the evolution of the mechanical performance of non-degraded and degraded cementitious matrices. For that, a series of experiments
were planned with pure synthetic tri-calcium silicate (C3S) and bi-calcium silicate (C2S) (main components of the Portland cement clinker) to obtain different calcium–silicate–hydrate (C–S–H) gel structures during
their hydration. The characterization of those C–S–H gels and matrices will provide experimental parameters for the validation
of the multi-scale modelling scheme proposed. In this article, a quantitative method, based on thermal analyses, has been
used for the determination of the chemical composition of the C–S–H gel together with the degree of hydration and quantitative
evolution of all the components of the pastes. Besides, the microstructure and type of silicate tetrahedron and mean chain
length (MCL) were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and 29Si magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR, respectively. The main results showed that the chemical compositions for the C–S–H gels
have a CaO/SiO2 M ratio almost constant of 1.7 for both C3S and C2S compounds. Small differences were found in the gel water content: the H2O/SiO2 M ratio ranged from 2.9 ± 0.2 to 2.6 ± 0.2 for the C3S (decrease) and from 2.4 ± 0.2 to 3.2 ± 0.2 for the C2S (increase). The MCL values of the C–S–H gels, determined from 29Si MAS NMR, were 3.5 and 4 silicate tetrahedron, for the hydrated C3S and C2S, respectively, remaining almost constant at all hydration periods. 相似文献

The photoluminescence properties of xZnO–(100−x)SiO2 (x = 0, 5, 10, 20) containing 1% Eu2O3 prepared by a sol–gel method were systematically investigated. The results indicated that the relative proportion of f–f transitions to charge transfer (CT) absorption decreased with the increase of ZnO concentration. The intensity of 5D0–7FJ transitions of Eu3+ ions was enhanced with the increase of ZnO content due to local structure changes and decreased quantities of Eu3+ ions clusters. The results of fluorescence line narrow (FLN) spectra indicated that Eu3+ ions occupied one site in SiO2 glass and two sites in ZnO–SiO2 glasses. The second-order crystal field parameters were calculated. B20 and B22 for site 1 increased with excitation energy, while ones hardly changed for site 2. 相似文献

Layered Ti-doped lithiated nickel cobaltate, LiNi0.8Co0.2 − xTixO2 (where x = 0.01, 0.03, and 0.05) nanopowders were prepared by wet-chemistry technique. The structural properties of synthesized materials
were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermo-gravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA). The morphological
changes brought about by the changes in composition of LiNi0.8Co0.2 − xTixO2 particles were examined through surface examination techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission
electron microscopy (TEM) analyses. Electrochemical studies were carried out using 2016-type coin cell in the voltage range
of 3.0–4.5 V (vs carbon) using 1 M LiClO4 in ethylene carbonate and diethyl carbonate as the electrolyte. Among the various concentrations of Ti-doped lithiated nickel

Pb2CrO5 nanoparticles were embedded in an amorphous SiO2 matrix by the sol–gel process. The pH and heat treatment effects were evaluated in terms of structural, microstructural and
optical properties from Pb2CrO5/SiO2 compounds. X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy
(EDS), and diffuse reflectance techniques were employed. Kubelka–Munk theory was used to calculate diffuse reflectance spectra
that were compared to the experimental results. Finally, colorimetric coordinates of the Pb2CrO5/SiO2 compounds were shown and discussed. In general, an acid pH initially dissolves Pb2CrO5 nanoparticles and following heat treatment at 600 °C crystallized into PbCrO4 composition with grain size around 6 nm in SiO2 matrix. No Pb2CrO5 solubilization was observed for basic pH. These nanoparticles were incorporated in silica matrix showing a variety of color

Nitrogen and sulfur co-doped mesoporous TiO2 thin films were fabricated using thiourea as a doping resource by the combination of the sol–gel and evaporation-induced
self-assembly (EISA) processes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
(XPS), N2 adsorption–desorption, and UV–vis spectra were performed to characterize the as-synthesized mesoporous TiO2 materials. The XPS result shows that O–Ti–N and O–Ti–S bonds in the (S, N)-codoped mesoporous TiO2 were formed. The resultant mesoporous (S, N)-codoped TiO2 exhibited anatase framework with a high porosity and a narrow pore distribution. After being illuminated for 3 h, methyl
orange (MO) could be degraded completely by the co-doped sample under the ultraviolet irradiation, whereas mesoporous TiO2 film without doping could only degrade 60% MO. After being illuminated by visible light, the water contact angles of the
mesoporous co-doped TiO2 samples decreased slightly, but the pure TiO2 mesoporous film exhibited no change in the hydrophilicity. 相似文献

Organic–inorganic poly(phthalazinone ether ketone) (PPEK)/SiO2 hybrid composite thin films were prepared by the dip-coating method on pre-cleaned glass substrates. The covalent bonds between
organic and inorganic phases were introduced by an in-situ O-acylation reaction of isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane (ICPTES) with the borohydride-reduced PPEK forming a polymer bearing
triethoxysilyl groups. Theses groups were subsequently hydrolyzed with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and allowed to form a network
via a sol–gel process. The polymer hybrid composite exhibited good thermal stability and a higher glass transition temperature
as compared with the pure resin. Atomic force microscope, water contact angle measurement and scanning electron microscope
were used to characterize the polymer hybrid thin films. The tribological experiment showed that the films have very low friction
coefficient (about 0.1) and good anti-wear properties, without failure even after sliding for 18,000 s under modest loads.
The improved tribological properties of the modified substrate were attributed to good adherence of PPEK/SiO2 hybrid films on the substrate and synergy of both PPEK matrix and silica particles. 相似文献
