TL;DR: In this article, Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy has been used to characterize the structure of porous silica gel films, both deposited on c-Si substrates and free standing.
Abstract: Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy has been utilized to characterize the structure of porous silica gel films, both deposited on c‐Si substrates and free standing. The films were either dried at room temperature or subjected to partial densification at 400–450 °C. The spectra of the gel films are compared to those of thermal SiO2 grown on c‐Si and to Kramers–Kronig analysis of the reflection spectra of bulk SiO2 gels and v‐SiO2. The gel films show small frequency shifts compared to the latter spectra and they also exhibit new bands due to the presence of OH groups, although very little molecular water or residual organic species were found. The results are interpreted in terms of the gel structure. Compared to the thermal oxide, the sharp peak near 1070 cm−1 is narrower for the gels and the spread in intertetrahedral angles is estimated at 24° and 27° for room temperature dried and partially densified gels, respectively, compared to 33° for the thermal oxide. This is in agreement with a st...
