The changes of the
intensities of the peaks
suggest the change in the
coordination state in the
gold complex
Effects of the exposure of the gel film to MEA vapor prior to heat-treatment
1. Decrease the size of gold particle to 5nm.
2. Increase the amount of trapped gold particles in silica matrix.
Possible reasons
1. The pore size of silica matrix is smaller.
2. Precipitation of gold hydroxide, smaller gold hydroxide particles are fixed in t
3. Change the coordination state of Au+3.

was ramped (50 °C h-1) to 400 °C. The membranes were
heated at this temperature for 6 h, and the
temperature was ramped back down (30 °C h-1) to room
temperature.

 Electron Microscopy. SEM images of the 200 nm diameter tubules and fibrils were
obtained as follows: One surface layer was removed, and the membrane was glued to a
piece of paper towel. The membrane was glued with the polished face up. The resulting
composite was immersed into 6 M aqueous NaOH for 10 min in order to dissolve the
alumina.

When the sol was 5 °C, thin-walled tubules were obtained even at long immersion times (1
min). In contrast, when the sol was maintained at 20 °C, solid TiO2 fibrils were obtained
even after very brief (5 s) immersion times.
 Bundles of the TiO2 nanostructures were
observed. The bundle sizes observed
ranged from as small as 2-4 fibrils to as
large as 10 or more fibrils. The main
feature in figure that runs diagonally across
the image consists of two bundles of fibrils,
one on the right edge of the main feature
and one on the left edge. In this case the
bundles consist of approximately 3-4 fibrils.
A second set of two bundles is observed
below this main feature; this second set of
bundles also proceeds diagonally across the
image but at a smaller angle.

To 20 mL of ethanol was added 0.35 g of zinc acetate, and the resulting mixture was
boiled until a clear solution was obtained (ca. 30 min). The volume was returned to 20 mL
with ethanol, and 0.06 g of LiOH·H2O was added. The resulting solution was
ultrasonicated until a white suspension was obtained (ca. 1 h). The alumina membrane
was immersed into this sol for 1 min, removed, and allowed to dry in air at room
temperature for 30 min. The membrane was then heated in air at 120 °C for 6 h.

The ionic conductivity of single
AgI/Ag was estimated to be on the
order of 1.5–8.0 × 10–3 (-cm)–1
Compared with that of room-
temperature bulk polycrystalline
AgI (ca. 10–5–10–6 (-cm)–1 an
enhancement by two to three
orders of magnitude was
demonstrated. This enhanced ionic
conductivity may be attributed to
interfacial defects and mesoscopic
multiphase effects as a result of
stacking-fault arrangements.
