Structural, Optical, and Catalytic Properties of MgCr2O4 Spinel-Type Nanostructures Synthesized by Sol-Gel Auto-Combustion Method

Vasyl Mykhailovych et al.

Summary: In this study, spinel-type MgCr2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized using a sol-gel auto-combustion method with fructose, tartaric acid, and hexamethylenetetramine as chelating/fuel agents. The formation of impurity-free MgCr2O4 nanostructures was optimal at temperatures ranging from 500 to 750 degrees C. Characterization techniques such as FTIR, UV-VIS spectrophotometry, XRD, EDX, and FE-SEM were used to study the properties of the synthesized nanoparticles, revealing the importance of the chelating/fuel agent nature and energy release during auto-combustion on the final properties of MgCr2O4 nanoparticles.

Self-Assembled Structure Evolution of Mn-Fe Oxides for High Temperature Thermochemical Energy Storage

Duo Xiang et al.

Summary: Research successfully synthesized bixbyite-type (Mn0.8Fe0.2)(2)O-3 and extruded it into honeycomb units, which maintained 85% of initial capacity after 100 redox cycles. A self-assembled core-shell MnFe2O4@Mn2.7Fe0.3O4 structure was found during the reduction step, transforming into a homogeneous solid solution of (Mn0.8Fe0.2)(2)O-3 during oxidation step. Through density functional theory calculations, it was revealed that the lower formation energy of oxygen vacancies in the shell contributes to the improvement of oxygen diffusion rate.
