Sol-gel coating of colloidal particles deposited glass surface pertinent to self-cleaning applications
摘要： A sol-gel coating using colloidal silica on a glass surface is carried out towards improving the self-cleaning properties. The optical transmittance and hydrophobic characteristics of the resulting coating are analyzed using analytical tools. Since the sol-gel coating reduces the optical transmittance of the glass samples, due to scattering and diffusion of the incident optical radiation at the coating surface, silicon oil (Sigma-Aldrich, 10 cSt) impregnation method is introduced to improve the optical transmittance. Silicon oil has good heat transfer characteristics, stable properties over range of temperatures, and optically transparent characteristics with refractive index of 1.4034. The resulting coated surface is tested in outdoor environments to examine the dust effect on the optical transmittance of the sol-gel coated and oil impregnated glass samples. It is found that deposition of 75 nm size silica particles on the glass surface modifies the texture height of the sol-gel coating, which in turn, improves the surface hydrophobicity. Sol-gel coating results in a web-type fully connected porous structures; in which case, agglomeration of the synthesized particles is responsible for the fully connected porous texture at the coating surface. The optical transmittance remains low for the sol-gel coated glass samples because of scattering and diffusion of the incident optical radiation at the coating surface. Silicon oil impregnation improves the optical transmittance of the sol-gel coated samples. The dust particles immerse into the oil film and reduce the optical transmittance of the oil impregnated samples in outdoor environments.

[IEEE 2018 19th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT) - Shanghai, China (2018.8.8-2018.8.11)] 2018 19th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT) - The characters of WO<inf>3</inf> electrochromic film prepared by sol-gel method
摘要： Electrochromic device is made up of transparent conduction layer, electrochromic layer, electrolyte layer and counter electrode layer. In this paper, we used a sol-gel method, which could decrease the cost, to prepare the WO3 electrochromic film. We firstly spin-coated the precursor on the ITO glass and then annealed the WO3 film at different temperature. Finally, we covered the electrolyte layer on the WO3 film and assembled it into electrochromic device. The film was investigated by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV spectrophotometer. We found the precursor’s color will change from yellow to white after it was stirred over 4h. After comparison, the film annealed at 573K could get the highest contrast ratio.

Double Notched Long-Period Fiber Grating Characterization for CO2 Gas Sensing Applications ?
摘要： In this study, we applied a double-sided inductively coupled plasma (ICP) process to nanostructure long-period fiber grating (LPFG) in order to fabricate a double-notched LPFG (DNLPFG) sensor with a double-sided surface corrugated periodic grating. Using the sol-gel method, we also added thymol blue and ZnO to form a gas sensing layer, thus producing a DNLPFG CO2 gas sensor. The resulting sensor is the first double-sided etching sensor used to measure CO2. The experimental results showed that as the CO2 concentration increased, the transmission loss increased, and that the smaller the fiber diameter, the greater the sensitivity and the greater the change in transmission loss. When the diameter of the fiber was 32 μm (and the period was 570 μm) and the perfusion rate of CO2 gas was 15%, the maximum loss variation of up to 3.881 dB was achieved, while the sensitivity was 0.2146 dB/% and the linearity was 0.992. These results demonstrate that the DNLPG CO2 gas sensor is highly sensitive.

摘要： The present study explored the Photocatalytic & antibacterial activity of Mesoporous Mn and S co-doped TiO2 nano material synthesized by sol-gel method. As prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photo electron spectroscopy(XPS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy(EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), UV-Visible Diffused Reflectance Spectroscopy(UV-Vis-DRS),Transmission electron Microscopy(TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Photoluminescence (PL).The Characterization results revealed that all the co-doped and undoped samples shows anatase phase. The Frequency shift of Ti-O-Ti in the catalyst samples was observed in FT-IR due to substitutional doping of Mn and S by replacing Ti and O, Further the catalyst shows smooth spherically shaped small particle size (7.6 nm) with high surface area (155.87 m2/g) and having less band gap energy (2.58 eV). The most reactive ?OH are produced during the progress of reaction was determined by using Photo luminescence (PL) technique. The photocatalytic efficiency and antibacterial activity was evaluated by degradation of Indigo carmine(IC), Bacillus coagulans and klebsiella pneumonia respectively. The complete degradation of IC was achieved at optimum reaction parameters such as 0.150g of the catalyst dosage, solution pH=4 and initial dye concentration 20ppm with the catalyst of 1.0Wt% of Mn-0.25Wt% of S co-doped Titania with in 90 min. The zone of inhibition bacterial growth was observed (24mm and 23mm) compared to control value (Chloramphenicol) 25mm and 24mm.

Cyanide degradation in aqueous solution by heterogeneous photocatalysis using boron-doped zinc oxide
摘要： The photocatalytic activity of boron-doped ZnO with varying concentration (1, 1.5 and 2% wt of B) synthesized by sol-gel method was evaluated on cyanide (CN-) degradation in aqueous solution under simulated solar radiation. The obtained catalysts were characterized by XRD, UV-Vis/DRS, ICP-OES, FT-IR, and XPS. The photocatalytic experiments were carried out in a quartz batch reactor using 300 mL of cyanide solution adjusted at pH 11, evaluating different parameters such as the amount of B dopant, catalyst loading and initial concentration of cyanide solution. A 23 central composite faced design was used to maximize CN- photocatalytic degradation. The cyanide concentration was measured by ISE potentiometric method and the content of intermediate ions (OCN?, NO3?, and NH4+) was determined by UV-visible spectrophotometry. The boron incorporation into ZnO lattice (ZnO-B) reduced wurtzite crystallite size (25 nm) and narrowed band gap (3.0 eV) compared to bare ZnO (43 nm and 3.2 eV, respectively). The ZnO-B 1.5 wt% showed better photocatalytic performance by degrading 89% of a 10 mg L-1 CN- solution compared to 75% that was reached by undoped ZnO; using in both cases 1.4 g L-1 of catalyst loading at accumulated energy of 400 kJ m-2.

Green Synthesis Approach for Nano sized CoFe2O4 through Aloe Vera Mediated Sol-gel Auto Combustion Method for High Frequency Devices
摘要： Nanosized CoFe2O4 was synthesized by Aloe vera-mediated sol-gel auto-combustion method. The yielded nanoparticles were characterised by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) to investigate the phase formation and morphology of the obtained powders. FTIR, XRD and Raman spectra revealed the formation of single phase CoFe2O4. FESEM micrographs showed the formation of some bud like structure and the particle size obtained is around 50-65?nm. Investigation of magnetic properties viz. saturation magnetization (Ms), remenant magnetization (Mr) and coercivity (Hc) were studied from the M-H loop and were found to be 72.23 emu/gm, 31.29 emu/gm, 1519 Oe respectively. In addition, the massive dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, and AC conductivity of the CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were dependent on the frequency (100 Hz-1 MHz), method of preparation and grain size. Room temperature ferroelectric measurement reveals a partially unsaturated P-E loop due to the high coercive field and influence of leakage current.

Fabrication and performance of Lu2O3:Eu3+ nanowire arrays with different nanowire diameters
摘要： Lu2O3:Eu3+ nanowire arrays with different nanowire diameters were successfully fabricated by sol-gel process using submicron porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The nanowires in each array are homogeneous and highly ordered, and have uniform diameter defined by the template. They exhibit polycrystalline with Lu2O3 cubic structure. The crystallite sizes of the Lu2O3:Eu3+ nanowires increase with the increase of the pore diameters of AAO templates and are less than that of nanopowder prepared in the same conditions due to the confinement of AAO template on the coalescence of Lu2O3:Eu3+ nanocrystallites. The Lu2O3:Eu3+ nanowire arrays within AAO templates exhibit good performances of photoluminescence and X-ray excited optical luminescence. The emission peaks can be ascribed to 5D0→7FJ transitions of Eu3+ (J = 0, 1, 2, 3). The luminescent intensities of the Lu2O3:Eu3+ nanowire arrays also enhance with the increase of the pore diameters of AAO templates. This phenomenon is not only due to the increase of the filling ratio of Lu2O3:Eu3+, but also relates to the improvement of crystallinity. The latter mechanism is further confirmed by the fluorescent decay times of Eu3+ emission in the nanowires with different diameters. It is believed that the Lu2O3:Eu3+ nanowire array can become a promising high-spatial-resolution scintillation screen used in X-ray imaging.

Observation of Optical Band-Gap Narrowing and Enhanced Magnetic Moment in Co-Doped Sol–Gel-Derived Anatase TiO <sub/>2</sub> Nanocrystals
摘要： The magnetic behavior of TiO2 and doped TiO2 nanocrystals has been a challenge due to the unambiguous nature of defects present in oxide semiconductors. Here, a simple, low-temperature sol?gel method is developed for the synthesis of low-dimensional and highly efficient stable anatase TiO2 nanocrystals. The X-ray powder diffraction pattern and Raman spectra confirm the formation of a single-phase anatase structure of TiO2. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy studies reveal the crystalline nature of the sol?gel-derived nanocrystals. The increase in lattice parameters together with the shifting and broadening of the most intense Eg(1) mode in micro-Raman spectra of Co-doped TiO2 nanocrystals indicate the incorporation of Co in TiO2. Shifting of the absorption edge to the visible region in UV?visible spectra indicates narrowing of the band gap due to Co incorporation in TiO2. X-ray photoelectron spectra confirm the presence of Co2+ and Co3+ in Co-doped TiO2 samples. Oxygen vacancy defects lead to the formation of bound magnetic polarons which induces a weak ferromagnetic behavior in air-annealed 3% Co-doped TiO2 at room temperature. It is observed that irrespective of the dopant ion, whether magnetic or nonmagnetic, the overlapping of bound magnetic polarons alone can induce ferromagnetism, while the magnetic impurities give rise to an enhanced paramagnetic moment for higher Co concentrations. A detailed understanding on the variation of these magnetic properties by estimating the concentration of bound magnetic polarons is presented, which is in corroboration with the photoluminescence studies. The observed band-gap narrowing in Co-doped TiO2 nanostructures and the mechanism underlying the magnetic interactions associated with the magnetic impurity concentration are advantageous from an applied perspective, especially in the field of spintronic and magneto-optic devices.

Preparation of ultra-broadband antireflective coatings for amplifier blast shields by a sol–gel method
摘要： A type of λ/4–λ/4 ultra-broadband antire?ective coating has been developed using modi?ed low refractive silica and high refractive silica layers by a sol–gel dip coating method for ampli?er blast shields of the Shen Guang II high power laser facility (SG-II facility). Deposition of the ?rst layer (high refractive index silica) involves baking at 200 ?C in the post-treatment step. The second layer (low refractive index, n = 1.20) uses low refractive index silica sol modi?ed by acid catalysis. Thermal baking at temperatures no less than 500 ?C for 60 min offers chemical stability, ethanol scratch resistance, and resistance to washing with water. The average residual re?ection of dual-side-coated fused silica glass was less than 1% in the spectral range from 450 to 950 nm. Transmission gain has been evaluated by taking into account angular light, and the results show that the transmission gain increases with increasing light incidence. Even at 60?, the transmission spectrum of the broadband antire?ective coating effectively covered the main absorption peak of Nd:glass.

Zinc oxide quantum dots for textile dyes and real industrial wastewater treatment: Solar photocatalytic activity, photoluminescence properties and recycling process
摘要： Three samples of ZnO quantum dots (ZQDs) were synthesized by a modified sol–gel method at different temperatures for 3 h. The first sample (S1) was prepared at room temperature 27 °C, while second and third samples (S2) and (S3) were prepared by the calcination process at 500 and 900 °C, respectively. A study of XRD and TEM determines the purity, high crystallinity and the presence of elongated shape of the prepared catalysts. On using TEM, DRS and EBT analysis, the crystallite size values, bandgap energy, and active surface area were (7.1 nm, 3.49 eV, and 150.1 m2/g), (9.8 nm, 3.45 eV and 112.2 m2/g) and (13.5 nm, 3.39 eV and 78.94 m2/g) for S1, S2, and S3, respectively. The Photoluminescence properties showed that the fluorescence rate for S1 was doubled the observed one in the S2 sample. The photodegradation results of both methyl orange as an industrial raw material and real industrial wastewater of S1 sample showed the finest activity when compared with the rest samples. It was cleared from the collecting data that the photocatalytic performance decreases with the crystallite size increases The mineralization efficiency of the real industrial wastewater that exposed to sunlight for six months were evaluated according to the allowed COD limit for Egyptian Environmental Law, In addition the recycling process for reusable for ZnO prepared samples for 8 times investigated and evaluated.
