Nanocrystalline nickel manganite (NiMn2O4) powder with a pure cubic spinel phase structure was synthesized via sol-gel combustion and characterized with XRD, FT-IR, XPS and SEM. The powder was mixed with sodium alginate gel to form a nano-biocomposite gel, dried at room temperature to form a thick film and characterized with FT-IR and SEM. DC resistance and AC impedance of sensor test structures obtained by drop casting the nano-biocomposite gel onto test interdigitated PdAg electrodes on an alumina substrate were measured in the temperature range of 20–50 °C at a constant relative humidity (RH) of 50% and at room temperature (25 °C) in the RH range of 40–90%. The material constant obtained from the measured decrease in resistance with temperature was determined to be 4523 K, while the temperature sensitivity at room temperature (25 °C) was −5.09%/K. Analysis of the complex impedance plots showed a dominant influence of grains. The decrease in complex impedance with increase in temperature confirmed the negative temperature coefficient effect. The grain resistance and grain relaxation frequency were determined using an equivalent circuit. The activation energy for conduction was determined as 0.45 eV from the temperature dependence of the grain resistance according to the small polaron hopping model, while the activation energy for relaxation was 0.43 eV determined from the Arrhenius dependence of the grain relaxation frequency on temperature.

AbstractCa2Nd4Ti6O20, a layered perov skite structured material was synthesized via a chemical (citrate sol-gel) route for the first time using nitrates and alkoxide precursors. Phase analysis of a sample sintered at 1625 °C revealed the formation of an orthorhombic (Pbn21) symmetry. The microstructure of the sample after sintering comprised rod-shaped grains of a size of 1.5 to 6.5µm. The room temperature dielectric constant of the sintered sample was 38 at 100 kHz. The remnant polarization (Pr) and the coercive field (Ec) were about 400 μC/cm2 and 8.4 kV/cm, respectively. Impedance spectroscopy revealed that the capacitance (13.7 pF) and activation energy (1.39 eV) of the grain boundary was greater than the capacitance (5.7 pF) and activation energy (1.13 eV) of the grain.

In this work, Bi[Formula: see text]SmxFe4O9 ([Formula: see text], 0.02, 0.06, 0.08, 0.1) nanoplates with an average thickness of 62–125[Formula: see text]nm were synthesized using a sol–gel method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The magnetic measurements show that the nanoplates have weak ferromagnetic ordering. The saturation magnetization of the nanoplates increases as the Sm content increases. The DC electric transport properties were studied by measuring the temperature dependence of the resistivity in the temperature range 300–680[Formula: see text]K. The materials show typical semiconductor features, and the conduction mechanisms are governed by electron and small polaron hopping in the low and high temperature measurement ranges, respectively. The Sm doping results in a significant enhancement in the electrical conductivity of the Bi2Fe4O9 nanoplates.

A series of Zn0.95-xCo0.05AlxO (x=0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.08, 0.10) powders with different percentages of aluminum was fabricated using the sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that the Co ions and Al ions substitute for Zn2+ ions without changing the wurtzite structure. No impurity phases were found. No clusters or precipitates of cobalt or aluminum were found using scanning electron microscope analysis. Fourier transform-infrared reflection (FT-IR) spectrometry was used to examine the infrared transmission properties and revealed that Co ions were incorporated into the lattice as Co2+ substituting for Zn2+. Ferromagnetic behavior in the samples was obtained at room temperature. As the Al content x increased, the room temperature ferromagnetism of the samples was reduced, and when x increased to 0.08, the room temperature ferromagnetism disappeared.

Influence Of Ph

V2O5 powders were successfully synthesized by the EDTA assistanced ultrasound sol-gel process using NH4VO3 and EDTA, NH3•H2O as raw materials. The synthesized activation energy and the influence of pH values and the calcination temperatures on the phases and microstructures of powders were particularly investigated. The precursor powders and the V2O5 powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform inelectron microscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry-thermal gravimetric (DSC-TG). Results show that the obtained products exhibit good crystallization under the conditions of pH=4, calcination temperature 400~500 °C and calcination time 0.5 h during the synthesizing process. The as-prepared V2O5 powders show preferred growth orientation along (001) plane at the pH=4. By DSC analysis, the ultrasonic cavitation result in the decrease in synthesized activation energy obviously than that was prepared without ultrasonic irradiation.

The crystal structure at room temperature (RT), thermal expansion from RT to 1000°C and electrical conductivity, from RT to 600°C, of the perovskite-type oxides in the system Pr 1-x Sr x FeO 3(x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) were studied. All the compounds have the orthorhombic perovskite GdFeO 3-type structure with space group Pbnm. The lattice parameters were determined by X-ray powder diffraction. The Pseudo cubic lattice parameter decreases with an increase in x, while the coefficient of linear thermal expansion increases. The thermal expansion is almost linear for x = 0 and 0.2. The electrical conductivity increases with increasing x while the activation energy decreases. The electrical conductivity can be described by the small polaron hopping conductivity model.

Polycrystalline La 3/2 Bi 3/2 Fe 5 O 12 (LBIO) compound was prepared by a high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. The complex impedance of LBIO was measured over a wide temperature (i.e., room temperature to 500°C) and frequencies (i.e., 102–106 Hz) ranges. This study takes advantage of plotting ac data simultaneously in the form of impedance and modulus spectroscopic plots and obey non-Debye type of relaxation process. The Nyquist's plot showed the presence of grain effects in the material at high temperature. The ac conductivity spectrum was found to obey Jonscher's universal power law. The dc conductivity was found to increase with rise in temperature. The activation energy of the compound was found to be 0.24 and 0.51 eV in the low and high-temperature region, respectively, for conduction process.

AbstractIn this work we present experimental results about the formation, properties and structure of sol — gel silica based biocomposite containing Calcium alginate as an organic compound. Two different types of silicon precursors have been used in the synthesis: tetramethylortosilicate (TMOS) and ethyltrimethoxysilane (ETMS). The samples have been prepared at room temperature. The hybrids have been synthesized by replacing different quantitis of the inorganic precursor with alginate. The structure of the obtained hybrid materials has been studied by XRD, IR Spectroscopy, EDS, BET and AFM. The results proved that all samples are amorphous possessing a surface area from 70 to 290 m2/g. It has also been established by FT IR spectra that the hybrids containing TMOS display Van der Walls and Hydrogen bonding or electrostatic interactions between the organic and inorganic components. Strong chemical bonds between the inorganic and organic components in the samples with ETMS are present. A self-organized nanostructure has been observed by AFM. In the obtained hybrids the nanobuilding blocks average in size at about 8–14 nm for the particles.

The modification of the structure lanthanum orthoferrites (LaFeO[Formula: see text] to obtain ceramic materials with enhanced structural, optical, and electrical properties constitutes an active area of research. The preparation of La[Formula: see text]Pb[Formula: see text](Fe, Ti)[Formula: see text]O3 (LPFTO) ceramic nanoparticles by following a cation substitution approach from LaFeO3 using sol–gel and sintering methods is described. The electrical and dielectric properties of the obtained material are investigated. The contribution of grain and grain boundary in the conduction mechanism is demonstrated by complex impedance analysis. The LPFTO ceramic nanoparticles exhibit a giant dielectric constant of the order of 108. The conductivity analysis suggests the occurrence of thermally activated semiconductor behavior. Moreover, the ferromagnetic–paramagnetic semiconductor transition temperature is observed at 385[Formula: see text]K. The ac conductivity behavior satisfies the nonoverlapping small-polaron tunneling (NSPT) model.

A series of La0.67Sr0.33MnO3/Ag composites were synthesized using a sol-gel method followed by a conventional solid-state reaction route. The temperature dependence of the magnetic properties and electrical resistivity has been investigated between 80 and 450 K. Except for the sample with x = 0.01, Ag addition has increased the conductivity of this system dramatically. Curie temperature (TC) is almost independent of Ag content and is 352 K for Ag-dopant samples, while the metal–insulator transition temperature TP increases with Ag addition, which is mainly due to the improvement of grain boundaries and opening a new metal conductivity channel caused by the segregation of Ag on the grain surfaces. At low temperature, the ρ - T curves are fitted well by the expression of ρ= ρ0 + ρ2T2 + ρ4.5T4.5 while all data for the above TC can be fitted by using the adiabatic small-polaron-hopping model ρ = ρ0T exp(E/kBT ).
