Influence of Li co-doping on structural property of sol-gel derived terbium doped zinc oxide nanoparticles

Organic–inorganic hybrid sol–gel materials doped with a fluorescent triarylimidazole derivative

“…20,21 These types of materials combine the rigidity of silicates with the exibility and hydrophobicity of organic moieties. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] The organic moieties of these materials include the commercial polyetheramines, particularly Jeffamines®, which have been frequently reported in the preparation of OIH materials. 23,25,26,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36] The use of Jeffamines® precursors to prepare sol-gel materials can result in urea silicates or aminoalcohol silicates matrices, depending on the silane used and type of bond established i.e., urea or aminoalcohol, respectively.…”

Morphology, Luminescence, and Optical Properties of Tb‐ and Li‐Codoped ZnO Elongated Nano‐ and Microstructures

“…[12,13] In fact, Er and Li codoping of ZnO elongated nanostructures with good optical properties have been already achieved. [14] In the case of Tb and Li codoping, nanoparticles grown by sol-gel method [15] or coprecipitation [16] have been previously investigated. On the other hand, alkali metals have been proposed as suitable dopants to attain p-type conductivity in ZnO by introducing shallow acceptors, however, their efficiency is limited due to the formation of compensating interstitials.…”

PDMS Based Hybrid Sol-Gel Materials for Sensing Applications in Alkaline Environments: Synthesis and Characterization

“…The sol-gel process is a synthetic method that allows producing organic-inorganic hybrid (OIH) materials [1,2]. These materials are also known as organically modified silicates (ORMOSILs), and have a wide range of applications [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Generically, this method consists of the hydrolysis and condensation of an alkoxide to form a polymeric matrix [13][14][15][16].…”
