Hello , You can prepare sol-gel by using ETOH, TEOS and water. Method Ratio of chemicals ETOH : TEOS: water = 10 :5: 2 Mix ETOH , ETOS and water and keep them in the sonicator for 30 mins. Afterward add 2 drops of conc HCl( it will act as catalyst) and leave for further 30 mins. Sol gel will be prepared.

And as I do not have a good background in chemistry, I wish if some body helps me in giving a complete receipt (or any helpful information) for the preparation process.
