Sol–Gel Synthesis and Characterization of Ag and Au Nanoparticles in SiO2, TiO2, and ZrO2 Thin Films
TL;DR: In this article, a method based on the use of coordination chemistry is presented for stabilizing Ag + and Au 3+ ions in sol-gel systems, and the results are discussed with regard to the embedding matrix, the temperature and the atmosphere of the heat treatment, and it is concluded that crystallization of TiO 2 and ZrO 2 may hinder the growth of Ag and Au particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Surface Oxygen Vacancies in the NO2 Sensing Properties of SnO2 Nanocrystals
Mauro Epifani,Joan Daniel Prades,Elisabetta Comini,Eva Pellicer,Manuel Avella,Pietro Siciliano,Guido Faglia,Albert Cirera,Roberto Scotti,Franca Morazzoni,Joan Ramon Morante +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the SnO2 nanocrystals were prepared by injecting a hydrolyzed methanol solution of SnCl4 into a tetradecene solution of dodecylamine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanostructured In2O3-SnO2 sol-gel thin film as material for NO2 detection
Luca Francioso,A. Forleo,Simonetta Capone,Mauro Epifani,Antonella M. Taurino,Pietro Siciliano +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Nanocrystalline SnO2, In2O3 and In 2O3-SnO2 thin films have been prepared by modified sol-gel methods making use of no-standard precursors and a suitable surfactant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ambient pressure synthesis of corundum-type IN2O3.
TL;DR: This communication reports the formation of the high-pressure modification of indium (III) oxide (so-called corundum-type or hexagonal In2O3) under ambient pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring of rancidity of milk by means of an electronic nose and a dynamic PCA analysis
Simonetta Capone,Mauro Epifani,Fabio Quaranta,Pietro Siciliano,Antonella M. Taurino,Lorenzo Vasanelli +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the use of a semiconductor thin films based electronic nose to recognize the rancidity of two different kinds of milk (UHT and pasteurised) during their ageing days was reported.
