EPR of Cu(II) in Sol-Gel Prepared SiO2 Glass
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
SiO2 glass has been prepared by the hydrolysis of TEOS in alcohol using HCl and NH4OH to control the pH. Copper ions were incorporated from the acetate to act as structural probe ions during the process of gellation and calcination. The local structure of copper ions was investigated using EPR determined at 300 K and 10 K.
It was found that the pH of the solution had a profound effect on the EPR spectra of the copper in the gels and glasses, indicating differences in the local structure.
