The 316 L stainless steel is one of the most commonly available commercial implant
materials with a few limitations in its ease of biocompatibility and long-standing …

We describe the preparation and characterization of zirconia (ZrO2) thin films via sol–gel
route by spin-coating method. By utilizing alkoxides Zr [O (CH2) 3CH3] 4 in the presence of …

Abstract In this paper, TiO 2/ZrO 2 coaxial core–shell composite nanotubes were
synthesized with the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by a new “two-step method”: Zr …

Theoretical and spectroscopic studies of a series of monomeric and dimeric complexes
formed through the modification of a zirconium butoxide precursor with acetylacetone and …

Magnesium doped nanocrystalline ZrO 2 thin films with the crystallite size in the range of 2–
3.4 nm were synthesized via a facile sol-gel spin coating method. The solution was easily …

Photocatalytically active titania (TiO2) nanoparticles are applied, and considered for
application, in the degradation of hazardous substances. However, these nanoparticles are …

ZrO2 films with high optical performances have been deposited via a simple sol–gel route,
which involved a controlled hydrolysis-condensation of zirconium (IV) n-propoxide using …

Novel anti-corrosion zirconia coating was prepared via the sol–gel method for AZ91D
magnesium alloy using zirconium nitrate hydrate as a precursor modified with acetylacetone …

Modern optoelectronic devices are highly dependent upon the electronic and optical
characteristics of semiconducting materials. In this work, pure and Al-doped ZrO 2 …

In this paper, we have investigated photoluminescence and photocatalytic properties of
zirconia films formed by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) of zirconium foil in 0.1 M water …
