The aim of the present work is a structural characterization study of silicaincorporated copper-oxide (CuO-SiO 2 ) catalysts using HRTEM. The catalysts were prepared by the sol-gel synthetic route. Two calcined catalysts (at 400°C and 800°C, respectively) were analyzed before and after the ''NO x ϩ

✦ Synopsis
The low-temperature preparation method based on organic-free sol -gel sequence has been elaborated for the binary oxide system ZrO 2 -GeO 2 . The coprecipitation method developed within the framework of the present work owing to the strong acid -base interaction of the components allowed to produce stable sols of the binary oxides with high dispersity and homogeneity. A usage of this method has extended the homogeneity range in the ZrO 2 -GeO 2 system up to the molar ratio ZrO 2 -GeO 2 = 24:76. A heat-treatment of ZrO 2 -GeO 2 xerogels (dried in air sols) resulted in transformation of amorphous materials into homogeneous nanocrystalline glass-ceramic composition. The earlier crystallization steps were detected with XRD, DTA, and IR spectroscopy. ZrO 2 -GeO 2 molar ratio was studied in the range 50:50 < ZrO 2 -GeO 2 < 24:76.
