	abstract = {<p>A facile spray pyrolysis route is used to deposit aluminium doped ZnO (AZO) thin films on to the glass substrates. It is observed that on aluminium doping the particle size of ZnO reduces significantly; moreover, uniformity of particle also gets enhanced. Their XRD study reveals that intensity ratio of crystal planes depend on the aluminium doping concentration. The gas response studies of; similar to 800 nm thick Al-doped ZnO films at different operating temperatures show that 5 at\% Al-doped ZnO thin film exhibits highest response towards H(2)S gas at 200 degrees C. The results suggest that the gas response strongly depends on the particle size and aluminium doping in the ZnO. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Bifunctional mesoporous organosilicas having -CH=CH- bridges and aluminium in tetrahedral coordination with tailorable pore sizes have been synthesized using a one-step templating method using cationic surfactants of different chain lengths. Unlike the conventional EtOH-HCl template extraction process, EtOH-NH(4)NO(3) was used as the surfactant-extracting medium and chemical analysis results suggest that through this procedure the mesoporous structure can be retained and dealumination can be minimized. The surfactant-extracted mesoporous solids display high surface area, pore volume and the pore size of the material varies in the range 2.6-3.6 nm, with respect to the alkyl chain length of the cationic surfactant. XRD and nitrogen physisorption studies further proved that the organosilicas are hydro thermally stable than the conventional Al-MCM-41 materials and their better stability is attributed to the thick pore walls as well as due to the presence of hydrophobic bridging ethenylene groups in the wall positions. The coupling of Al(4) with -CH=CH- bridges offer new prospects for the application of periodic mesoporous organosilicas in heterogeneous catalysis.</p>},
