Synthesis of yttrium aluminate doped with Cr3+ using MgF2–Na2B4O7 as mineralizers to obtain red pigments for ceramic tiles application

Exploration of Near-Infrared-Reflecting Zn0.5M0.5Fe2O4 Pigment for Sustainable Coatings by Transition Metal Substitutions and a Modifier

“…Considering the availability, appropriateness, and extensive usage of zinc ferrites in various applications, applying a suitable mineralizer to fine-tune the pigmentary features for their prospective use as cool colorants would be advantageous. The mineralizers’ adequacy depends on several variables: the quantity, nature, and distribution amount in the activated host system . Mineralizers activate reactions analogous to a catalyst, helping form solid solutions and acting similarly to fluxes. − The mineralizing effect is more pronounced in sodium salts than in other salts, as reported previously. , …”

Fast and Green Hematite (α-Fe2O3) and Akaganeite (β-FeOOH) Synthesis Using a Microwave-Assisted Hydrothermal Process with Single Precursor and No Stabilizing Agent

“…Thus, the usage of fuels, organic solvents, and surfactants as a way of enhancing the process of producing such materials is frequently observed in the methods of synthesis of ceramic compounds, such as sol-gel, combustion, co-precipitation, and hydrothermal [6][7][8][9] . The selection of the synthesis method and the related chemicals becomes even more crucial when the application to which this material will be submitted and the anticipated features, such as particle size and shape, are taken into account 10,11 .…”
