The as-prepared products were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectrum （FT-IR）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, powder X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The results indicate that the as-prepared products are titania glycolate submicrospheres with diameters of 230-330 nm. The average particle diameter is estimated to be about 280 nm. Ultrasonic treatment has an important influence on the morphology of the produced titania glycolates. After calcination at 450°C for 2 h, these titania glycolates were completely converted into anatase TiO2. The morphology of TiO2 particles was well reserved during the calcination process except for a reduction of 18% in the average particle size.展开更多

The as-synthesized products are characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FT-IR）. The results show that a homogeneous transparent gel can be obtained with EDTA as the organic complexing reagent under the pH value of 3.0. Further thermal decomposition of the as-synthesized transparent gel by increasing the temperature up to 600℃ for 3 h results in the formation of La2Mo2O9 nanoparticles with a crystal size of about 30 nm. Moreover, the nanoparticles tend to form micrometer-sized aggregates with a three-dimensional network structure, which shows promising applications in solid oxide fuel cells （SOFC）, catalysts and so on.展开更多
