“…The spinel-type oxides, copper manganese and their composites, are receiving great attention for their numerous technological applications. The latter consist of rechargeable lithium batteries, 11 catalysts, 12 electrochemical biosensors, 13 selective sun absorbers (in solar thermal energy conversion systems), 14,15 collectors, and anti-corrosion coatings, given their excellent structural, chemical and physical properties. The physicochemical properties of copper manganese spinel-type mixed oxides are mainly determined in terms of the charge, type and distribution in the tetrahedral/octahedral sites of the cations.…”
