Sol-gel Chemistry: Background
• Sol-gel process is a wet-chemical method for producing solid material from small molecules via a colloidal solution (= Sol)
• The process involves formation of gel-like structure with continuous polymer networks
• Sol-gel process is used to produce metal oxides such as SiO2(first published in 1864 by T. Graham)
• Alkoxides are ideal precursors for sol-gel synthesis because they react ready with water
• Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) is the primary precursor and source of Si in Sol-gel synthesis of silica
