In this work, the synthesis of ordered mesoporous silica of MCM-41 type was investigated aimed at improving its morphology by varying the synthesis conditions in a one-pot process, employing different temperatures and solvent conditions. 2-methoxyeth...

The diester 2 was prepared by the addition of 2-methoxyethanol to 1 according to the reported procedure [1].[...]

The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of the solvents applied both in sol–gel process and for supercritical drying (SCD) on NiO aerogels’ properties. NiO aerogels were synthesized using methanol and 2-methoxy-ethanol (MeGl)...

An [Ru(apy)₂Cl₂] precursor (apy = 2,2′-azopyridine) in 2-methoxyethanol was heated under a pressurized CO atmosphere to afford a diradical complex, [Ru(apy·⁻)₂(CO)₂], containing one-electron-reduced azo anion radical ligands. The e...

The cytotoxicity and microbicidal capacity of seven organic solvents commonly applied for studying plant extracts and bioactive compounds were systematically investigated based on international standards. Four cell lines of normal (CCL-1, HaCaT) or t...

Steroid sapogenin diosgenin is of significant interest due to its biological activity and synthetic application. A consecutive one-pot reaction of diosgenin, oxalyl chloride, arylacetylenes, and phenylhydrazine give rise to steroidal 1,3,5-trisubstit...

Ionic liquids have been the subject of intense research because of their unique electrochemical properties and potential applications in various fields. In this article, we analyze the electrical conductivity of two selected ionic liquids, 1-hexyl-3-...

In this paper, undoped, Al-, and In-doped zinc oxide thin films were deposited. Film growth was performed using the sol–gel technique. The method included (a) preparing homogeneous and stable solutions of zinc acetate 2-hydrate, (b) mixing them with...

Strontium aluminate, with suitable lattice parameters and environmentally friendly water solubility, has been strongly sought for use as a sacrificial layer in the preparation of freestanding perovskite oxide thin films in recent years. However, due...

Chromium and ruthenium-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Cr) and (ZnO:Ru) thin solid films were deposited on soda-lime glass substrates by the sol-gel dip-coating method. A 0.6 M solution of zinc acetate dihydrate dissolved in 2-methoxyethanol and monoethanolam...

The development of selective and robust heterogeneous oxidation catalysts is an enabling technology for conversion of biomass-derived platform chemicals. Vanadium active sites were incorporated into the structure of mesoporous silica via an ultra-fas...

Chemical solution deposition (CSD) of BaTiO₃ (BT) or BT-based thin films relies on using a carboxylic acid and alcohol as the solvents for alkaline-earth carboxylate and transition-metal alkoxide, respectively; however, the esterification reaction of...

Here we present comparative studies of: (i) the formation of ZnO thin films via the sol-gel method using zinc acetate dihydrate (ZAD), 2-methoxyethanol (ME) as solvent, and the aminoalcohols (AA): ethanolamine, (S)-(+)-2-amino-1-propanol, (S)-(+)-2-a...

The anthropogenic impact on the environment has long been known to negatively affect the quality of air. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are widely used in domestic and industrial applications, generally as solvents. They are mobile in both gaseous...

This study focuses on the deposition of fullerene (C₆₀) as thin film on glass substrate by ultrasonic chemical bath deposition (UCBD) processing, under ambient temperature. Highly effective results were obtained from the films based on the solution o...

The present study is focused on the synthesis of zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂) nanomaterials using the hydrothermal method assisted by microwave irradiation and solution combustion synthesis. Both synthesis techniques resulted in ZrO₂ powders with a mixtu...

This paper presents the effect of a composite poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate PEDOT:PSS and copper-doped nickel oxide (Cu:NiO_x) hole transport layer (HTL) on the performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Thin films of Cu:Ni...
