Materials chemistry is a field of high priority internationally, in terms of both fundamental and applied science. Research contributions to the advancement of this field come from a wide range of scientists who develop the synthetic processes, perform the fundamental characterizations, and employ the materials in a wide range of applications. During recent years, sol-gel chemistry has become a major topic of research in materials science and synthesis. The conventional synthesis for multicomponent materials involves a solid-state reaction in which appropriate precursors (usually oxides or carbonates) are mixed together. These precursors are often ball-milled to enhance mixing and to reduce their particle sizes, so that maximum contact surface can be obtained between the particles [1]. The reaction occurs initially at the points of contact between the components [2]. With increasing reaction time, the reaction slows down because of the longer interdiffusion distances through the end product. The mixture is fired at relatively high temperature to allow interdiffusion of the cations. Repeated cycles of milling and calcination are usually carried out to improve homogeneity. Recently, the sol-gel method has become very attractive for materials synthesis because it permits direct fabrication of multicomponent materials in different configurations (monoliths, coatings, and fibers) without powder intermediates [3] or without the use of expensive vacuum technologies [4, 5]. The diversity with which materials can be obtained, has made the sol-gel method an important synthesis route in several domains of research, including optics, electronics, biomaterials, and semi-and superconductors.The term “sol-gel” denotes a process by which largely inorganic materials are synthesized. The term is an abbreviation for “solution-gelling” which denotes its principle: a solution or sol (which is a dispersion of colloidal particles) starting from precursors which are dissolved in a liquid phase, is transformed to the solid
