Abstract

The sol-gel route to oxide materials is based on inorganic polymerization reactions. A solution of molecular precursors is converted by a chemical reaction into a sol or a gel which on drying and densification give a solid material. This allows the production of multicomponent materials with high purity and potentially greater chemical homogeneity at lower temperature. The molecular design of alkoxide precursors allows a chemical control over condensation reactions and the production of tailored microstructures. Based on soft chemistry, the sol-gel process is highly amenable to incorporating organic molecules and even biological species into oxide matrices. A form of molecular engineering is springing up. It leads to novel hybrid organic-inorganic materials and opens new opportunities to the development of optical devices and chemical sensors.

The objective of this article is to review recent advances in sol-gel chemistry and to identify areas where further developments are likely to occur.
