Compositionally tunable photoluminescence from environment friendly tin based inorganic perovskites covering the visible to near-infrared regions of electromagnetic spectrum.

A simple direct foaming and casting process using ovalbumin‐based aqueous slurries for fabricating ceramic and metal foams is demonstrated. Foaming of aqueous ceramic slurries and the foam microstructure were seen to be a strong function of slurry rheology. Setting of foams with ceramic solids loading above 20 vol% was achieved by addition of acid, which also prevented binder migration. Acid addition resulted in excessive shrinkage, causing cracking of foams with ceramic loading below 20 vol%. Addition of sucrose to the slurries suppressed shrinkage leading to defect‐free foams with porosity exceeding 95%. Overall porosity and foam microstructure could be controlled through ceramic solids loading, ovalbumin–water ratio, foaming time and sucrose amount, and sintering temperature. The ceramic foams fabricated by the process were strong enough to be green machined to different shapes.
