“…TEOS is expected to be completely hydrolyzed after refluxing at 80 for 2 h and the received gel contains EtOH, silica-hydrolyzed gel, HCl and molybdates, respectively. Therefore, Raman data of pure EtOH 16) , SMA 8) , the gel after reflux and hydrothermal treatment are summarized in Table 1. Peaks at ~2876, ~2926 and ~2969 cm -1 , which are assigned to other C _ H stretching vibration modes, were nearly unchanged as compared with pure EtOH and the gel.…”
