“…These have always been considered with a great attention thanks to their very interesting optical, electrical and magnetic properties related to the multi-valence cation. During the last decades, these were largely studied for various types of applications including photothermal conversion [1,2], pigments for paints [3,4], thermistors [5,6] catalysis [7] etc … Moreover, transition metals are naturally abundant and transition metal oxides are usually chemically stable with no adverse effect on the environment.…”
