Advanced synthesis of nanostructured materials for environmental applications

Synthesis and characterizations of spinel MnFe2O4 nanorod by seed–hydrothermal route

“…Spinel ferrites have received renewed interest in technologically anchored modern society due to their promising application in microwave adsorption [1,2], electrode materials [3], environmental remediation [4][5] and drug-loading materials [6]. The wide applications can be ascribed to their excellent magnetic properties and chemical stability [7].…”

Spinel Mixed Oxides for Chemical-Loop Reforming: From Solid State to Potential Application

“…At the same time, Al, Ce, Ti, Zr, Cr, Ga, and V additives prevent deactivation and sintering of iron oxide during repeated redox cycles. Some recent studies on developing novel and efficient oxygen carrier materials for chemicalloop applications highlight the special interest of spinel oxides [18,26,68,69,72,73,[80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90], which can be explained by their thermodynamic stability, which allows them to re-obtain the initial oxidized spinel phase upon redox cycling and increase the stability of the looping material.…”

Mixed-Oxide Catalysts with Spinel Structure for the Valorization of Biomass: The Chemical-Loop Reforming of Bioethanol

“…At the same time, Al, Ce, Ti, Zr, Cr, Ga and V additives prevent deactivation and sintering of iron oxide during repeated redox cycles. Some recent studies on developing of the novel and efficient oxygen carrier materials for chemical-loop applications highlight the special interest in spinel oxides [151][152][153][154][155][156][157][158][159][160] which, first of all, were explained by their ability to form thermodynamically stable spinel oxides which allow one to reobtain the initial spinel phase upon cycling, and in turn, increase the stability of the looping material itself.…”
