Abstract
This review covers the works on the sol-gel preparation of oxides from metal alkoxides that were carried out at the Faculty of Chemistry, Moscow State University, and at the Karpov Research Institute of Physical Chemistry. The composition and properties of the oxide powders and films prepared were considered in relation to the nature of alkoxides and solvents and complex formation in solution. The morphology and phase composition of the powders were examined in relation to hydrolysis conditions. Electrical and optical data are presented for titanate, zirconate, niobate, and tantalate powders, ceramics, and films
