Abstract

The chemical reactivity of metal alkoxides offers a broad range of possibilities for chemical modification of these molecular precursors. The whole hydrolysis-condensation process may then be completely different leading to new products. An analysis is presented concerning some of the most common chemical additives used in the sol-gel process. Their role is explained in terms of chemical reactivity. The most important parameters appear to be the reactivity of the new ligand towards hydrolysis, the charge distribution in the new molecular precursor and the coordination numbers of the metal atom.

Ti-substituted organosilica membranes for H<inf>2</inf> sieving: Sol-gel and DFT insights
2024, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy
The fabrication of gas-sieving amorphous silica membranes exhibiting superior thermal/hydrothermal/chemical stability by the facile, scalable and controllable synthesis strategies is highly desired to bring the silica membranes a step closer to large scale deployment. Sol-gel modification of bis(triethoxylsilyl)ethane (BTESE) membrane pore network with Ti substitution resulted with a shift in the molecular level cut-off to smaller molecules establishing ideal selectivity improvement from 13 ± 2 to 20 for H₂/N₂ and 17 ± 4 to 28 for H₂/CH₄ at 200 °C. BTESE and analogous Ti-substituted BTESE membranes (BTESE-Ti) exhibited H₂ permeances of (0.9–1.2)x10⁻⁶ mol/(m²sPa) and 5.8 × 10⁻⁷ mol/(m²sPa), respectively, reflecting a difference in their thickness. Decrease in the sol concentration by 2-fold led to an increase in the H₂ permeance value to 8.9 × 10⁻⁷mol/(m²sPa) at 200 °C for BTESE-Ti membranes. We further theoretically designed amorphous BTESE and BTESE-Ti structures, and simulated their interactions with the gas molecules along with the pore diffusion of H₂ as a model system to elucidate the membrane performance through the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Theoretical findings suggest that the only transport mechanism is the direct transport from the gas phase to the pore entrance by excluding the surface diffusion possibility.
Microstructure and wear characteristics of hybrid reinforced (ex-situ SiC–in-situ Mg<inf>2</inf>Si) Al matrix composites produced by vacuum infiltration method
2023, Materials Chemistry and Physics
Hybrid composite materials combine the advantages of two or more reinforcement materials and may contain unique physical, mechanical and tribological properties that cannot be achieved with any other materials. In this study; A356, A380, and A413 alloys were chosen as matrix materials. Prepared SiC preforms were employed as ex-situ reinforcing material, and AM50 magnesium alloy with 5%, 10% and 15% weight ratios were added to the liquid metal to produce hybrid composites via the vacuum infiltration process. The effects of the amount of added AM50 alloy on the microstructural and mechanical properties were investigated. The formation of primary Mg₂Si, eutectic Mg₂Si, Si eutectic, SiC particles and α-Al grains were observed in the microstructure. As the weight ratio of the added AM50 alloy increased, the hardness and wear resistance of the composite samples did not significantly improve. However, the wettability of the liquid aluminum to the SiC particles seemed to be improved by the addition of AM50 alloy, especially for A380 and A413 alloys. However, excessive Mg ratio increased the viscosity of the alloy in the liquid state and caused insufficient infiltration in the castings, especially for A413 alloy. The differentiations in the hardness and wear properties depending on the processing parameters are discussed in the paper.
Effect of TiO<inf>2−x</inf> nanoparticle defect structure on hydroxyl radical scavenging activity under X-ray irradiation
2022, Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects
Two types of titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO_2−x NPs) with the same size (5.0 ± 0.6 nm), but different Ti³⁺(Ti²⁺)/Ti⁴⁺ ratios in their crystal lattice were synthesized by the hydrolysis of titanium alkoxide varying the nitric acid content in the hydrolysis mixture. Electron donating properties and scavenging activity of both types of TiO_2−x NPs against hydroxyl radicals (·OH) formed during X-ray irradiation have been studied. It has been revealed that ·OH scavenging properties are directly related to the Ti³⁺(Ti²⁺)/Ti⁴⁺ ratio and are higher for the sample with a higher Ti³⁺(Ti²⁺) content. The efficiency of ·OH scavenging in synthesized TiO_2−x NPs is close to that observed for well-known antioxidant CeO_2−x NPs with the same size suggesting TiO_2−x NPs to be effective as an antioxidant in living cells as well.
Effect of Mn-doping on the morphological and electrical properties of (Ba<inf>0·7</inf>Sr<inf>0.3</inf>) (Mn<inf>x</inf>Ti<inf>1−x</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> materials for energy storage application
2022, Ceramics International
Lead-free (Ba_0·7Sr_0.3) (Mn_xTi_1−x)O₃ (x = 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, and 8.0%) ceramics were effectively synthesized by the sol-gel process. XRD and Raman spectroscopy confirm the single-phase perovskite structure with tetragonal symmetry, for all compositions. An in-depth analysis of the chemical composition and thermochemistry of the ceramics was carried out via FT-IR and TG-DTG. Morphological analyses of the samples revealed that doping Mn at higher concentrations suppresses the grain size and grain growth rate. The dielectric properties increased first and then decreased with increasing Mn content. The ferroelectric properties represented similar trend in polarization and energy storage efficiency as showed in dielectric properties. 2% Mn-doped sample exhibits the best dielectric and energy storage performance which is attributed to increased densification and grain size effects. Dielectric anomaly caused by defect dipole polarization was observed in temperature-dependent dielectric constant curves, for 6% and 8% Mn-doped samples. This study is helpful to establish the relationship between the structure, morphology, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of Mn substituted Ba_0·7Sr_0·3TiO₃ ceramics.
Sucrose-based sol-gel synthesis of microporous titanium carbide as target material for the production of radioisotopes
2022, Microporous and Mesoporous Materials
An environment-friendly route for the synthesis of titanium carbide by sol-gel processing is reported. The initial solution is prepared via a simple one-pot approach, using titanium isopropoxide and sucrose as molecular precursors under acidic conditions, therefore promoting intimate interactions between the networks of sucrose and of the titanium alkoxide-derived inorganic polymer at the molecular level. Furthermore, the usage of sucrose represents an established and green solution, and provides a viable alternative to the use of toxic compounds. The resulting gels are dried at 120 °C and then undergo carbothermal reduction in Ar atmosphere at different temperatures ranging from 700 °C to 1750 °C. A systematic study of the obtained material is carried out by using FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, N₂ physisorption and He pycnometry. The characterization techniques show that the sucrose-derived titanium carbide exhibits a tailored microporous structure and larger specific surface area values compared with those of materials produced using the hazardous phenolic resin-based system. This method thus allows the synthesis of titanium carbide with exquisite textural properties and attractive porous architectures, meeting the requirements for the fabrication of target materials in the field of nuclear medicine, with particular interest in the production and release of scandium radioisotopes.
Nanoscale tailoring on thin bimetallic organo-oxide membranes for H<inf>2</inf>/CO<inf>2</inf> separation
2022, Separation and Purification Technology
The design of tailored novel membrane networks with excellent hydrothermal stability allowing gas sieving is highly desired to take them a step closer to large scale commercialization for energy efficient separation. Bistriethoxysilylmethane (BTESM) containing SiCSi bonds was used as a precursor for the fabrication of Ti-incorporated BTESM organosilica membranes on a macroporous ceramic support with a mesoporous intermediate layer. The precise engineering on the sol-gel parameters allowed the formation of bimetallic clusters with 2–4 nm size range in the clear organo-oxide sols. XPS analyses indicated the development of SiOTi connections in the organo-oxide membrane network. A high H₂ permeance of 6.3 × 10⁻⁷ mol/m²sPa and attractive ideal selectivities of 10, 10, 119 and 222 for H₂/N₂, H₂/CH₄, H₂/C₃H₆ and H₂/C₃H₈, respectively are attained from an exceptionally thin BTESM membrane. H₂/CO₂ ideal selectivity increases from 4 to 8 upon incorporation of 15 mol% Ti into membrane network while selectivities increase to 32 for H₂/N₂, 44 for H₂/CH₄, and 246 for H₂/C₃H₈ with 1.25-fold increase in H₂ permeance. H₂/CO₂ ideal selectivity of 24 was achieved with moderate H₂ permeance of 1.7 × 10⁻⁷ mol/m²sPa after hydrothermal treatment for 45 h for BTESM15 membrane as thin as 65 nm. This is the one of the thinnest ceramic supported organosilica membrane reported having acceptable H₂ permeance after hydrothermal treatment.
