In this review, we show how sol-gel synthesis has played a central role in the development of ionogel materials. Ionogels are effectively ‘wet gels’. They are formulated to enable hydrolysis and condensation of alkoxysilane precursors but use an IL as the solvent phase. ILs, which are considered to be room temperature molten salts, have minimum vapor pressures and thus do not evaporate. At the nanoscale, the resulting ionogel possesses a nanofluidic state, but macroscopically it is solid. This unique microstructure enables the ionogel to exhibit the excellent electrochemical properties of the IL including high ionic conductivity, a wide electrochemical stability window along with good thermal and mechanical stability. The nanofluidic state ensures that there is excellent electrical contact between the solid electrode and the pseudo-solid electrolyte. This overcomes one of the problems associated with solid-state batteries, namely solid-solid interfaces. Ionogels have already been used in a number of electrochemical applications including lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries as well as lithium metal and sodium metal batteries. The electrochemical properties of ionogels, their applications in battery systems and future opportunities in consumer electronics, transportation and the grid are highlighted.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":664,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology","volume":"113 1","pages":"70 - 85"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142941116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FESEM pictures reveal the production of irregular grains with agglomerated morphology in all the undoped and doped nanoferrites.

In this article, we review the actions undertaken by the EU project MIRIA, the main one being the reduction of pathogen transmission on high-traffic surfaces in public and healthcare environments. The project implements several synergies from key antimicrobial/antiviral element selection to the grafting of complex-shaped surfaces. The focus is given to one of the project’s key strategies: the adoption of sol-gel technology, known for its efficiency in creating versatile, cost-effective coatings suitable for a wide range of substrates. The project rigorously tests the coatings in simulated environments, such as operating theatres, ensuring their effectiveness and safety. This includes comprehensive durability testing against environmental, chemical, and mechanical stresses, guaranteeing the coatings’ long-term functionality. MIRIA’s validation process encompasses antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral testing in line with international standards, confirming their broad-spectrum pathogen resistance. Along with this overview, the impact of the initiative is elucidated, extending beyond healthcare, enhancing public health, creating safer living, and working environments, and reducing economic losses due to illness. To this, the MIRIA project is expected to significantly contribute to the European research and innovation in antimicrobial coatings, addressing challenges like scalability and efficacy against various pathogens. The emphasis on sustainable synthesis, including bio-based materials which align with ecological goals, positions MIRIA as a pivotal initiative in enhancing health safety standards and resilience across Europe.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":664,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology","volume":"112 3","pages":"639 - 647"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142636758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effect of the ceramic composition on the phase structure and electric properties of the PSN-PIN-PT ceramics were investigated. For 0.40PSN-(0.60-<i>x</i>)PIN-<i>x</i>PT(<i>x</i> = 0.360, 0.375, 0.390, 0.405), the increase in the PT could improve gradually Curie temperature <i>T</i><sub>c</sub> (262–292°C), but will reduce the phase transition <i>T</i><sub>R-T</sub> (94–181 °C). Maximum of piezoelectric coefficient <i>d</i><sub>33</sub> (578 pC/N) could be obtained in the 0.40PSN-0.21PIN-0.39PT ceramics, together with large residual polarization <i>P</i><sub>r</sub> (~36.7 µC/cm<sup>2</sup>) and high coercive field <i>E</i><sub>c</sub> (~9.3 kV/cm). These performances make the PSN-PIN-PT ceramics have great potential applications in the high temperature device.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":664,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology","volume":"112 2","pages":"614 - 623"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142540607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
