Article Reviews

Rapid development in the area of materials for energy production has set urgent request on development of porous solid electrolytes and even porous solid electron conductive materials.

An interesting overview of sol-gel derived porous metal oxide electrodes for lithium ion batteries has recently appeared in Nanoscale, 2012,4, 2526-2542, authored by Xiong Wen (David) Lou and co-workers.

ISGS is an international, interdisciplinary, not-for-profit organization whose primary purpose and objective is the advancement of sol-gel science and technology. ISGS aims are both to represent the particular needs and aspirations of the international sol-gel community and to support this sol-gel community.

Since the inception of the highly successful Sol-Gel Workshop series in Padova during 1981, sol-gel science and technology has evolved from its origins within traditional materials science (mainly glass and ceramics) to become an extraordinarily multidisciplinary area of research, spanning chemistry, physics, biology, materials science and nanotechnology.

ISGS, grouping of scientists who are interested in sol-gel science and technology at the begining, evolved over time in a professional, fully functional, scientific society.
