✦ Synopsis
Nano-rutile-titania has been synthesized via a sol-gel route using titanium tetra n-butoxide as the precursor and ethyl alcohol as the solvent at a low temperature of 80 • C. When synthesized with HCl as the catalyst, the powders crystallized without calcination, while the materials prepared using acetylacetone as the catalyst required heating to ∼300 • C to initiate the crystallization. The anatase to rutile transformation temperature decreased with increasing water content.

Films of thickness $3 mm containing nanosized metal particles of iron, nickel and copper respectively were grown on a Corning glass slide using a sol-gel technique. The particle sizes had values in the range 6.8 to 20.1 nm. Optical absorption characteristics of different specimens were studied over
The effects of some synthesis parameters, such as alcohol/alcoxide and water/alcoxide molar ratios, type of solvent and reaction temperature, on the physical and crystalline characteristics of ZrO2 prepared by the sol-gel method were studied. The results show that gelling time, weight loss, surface
