Abstract
In this paper, a fast processing route involving a wet-chemical method (solution combustion synthesis, SCS) and carbonization in a CH4 environment was demonstrated, through which nanosized Ni/WC/C powder with an average size of 80 nm was obtained. In the catalyst powder, Ni was evenly distributed and it could form NiOOH to promote catalysis, and an amorphous carbon (C) layer with a thickness of <10 nm was formed on the surface of the composite particles, improving the stability of the Ni/WC powder and promoting electron transport. Due to the characteristics of uniformity and a large specific surface area and the synergistic effect of Ni, WC, and C, this powder showed significantly improved ORR catalytic activity in alkaline solution. When the amount of Ni doping was 15 wt%, the composite powder showed the smallest particle size and the best ORR catalytic performance. Its cathode peak potential was -0.31 V and the half wave potential was -0.34 V. The number of electrons transferred in the ORR reaction was 3.6. This work provided a fast and cheap method for the preparation of multicomponent composite catalyst materials.

Abstract
In the last few decades, there has been a trend involving the use of nanoscale fillers in a variety of applications. Significant improvements have been achieved in the areas of their preparation and further applications (e.g., in industry, agriculture, and medicine). One of these promising materials is magnesium oxide (MgO), the unique properties of which make it a suitable candidate for use in a wide range of applications. Generally, MgO is a white, hygroscopic solid mineral, and its lattice consists of Mg2+ ions and O2− ions. Nanostructured MgO can be prepared through different chemical (bottom-up approach) or physical (top-down approach) routes. The required resultant properties (e.g., bandgap, crystallite size, and shape) can be achieved depending on the reaction conditions, basic starting materials, or their concentrations. In addition to its unique material properties, MgO is also potentially of interest due to its nontoxicity and environmental friendliness, which allow it to be widely used in medicine and biotechnological applications.

Abstract
In this work, the multiferroic bismuth ferrite materials Bi0.9RE0.1FeO3 doped by rare-earth (RE = La, Eu, and Er) elements were obtained by the solution combustion synthesis. Structure, electrical, and magnetic properties of prepared samples were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, electrical hysteresis measurement, broadband dielectric spectroscopy, and SQUID magnetometry. All obtained nanomaterials are characterized by spontaneous electrical polarization, which confirmed their ferroelectric properties. Investigation of magnetic properties at 300.0 K and 2.0 K showed that all investigated Bi0.9RE0.1FeO3 ferrites possess significantly higher magnetization in comparison to bismuth ferrites obtained by different methods. The highest saturation magnetisation of 5.161 emu/g at 300.0 K was observed for the BLaFO sample, while at 2.0 K it was 12.07 emu/g for the BErFO sample. Several possible reasons for these phenomena were proposed and discussed.

Thermal Analysis of Metal-Organic Precursors for Functional Cu:ΝiOx Hole Transporting Layer in Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells: Role of Solution Combustion Chemistry in Cu:ΝiOx Thin Films Processing. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11113074.

Abstract
Low temperature solution combustion synthesis emerges as a facile method for the synthesis of functional metal oxides thin films for electronic applications. We study the solution combustion synthesis process of Cu:NiOx using different molar ratios (w/o, 0.1 and 1.5) of fuel acetylacetone (Acac) to oxidizer (Cu, Ni Nitrates) as a function of thermal annealing temperatures 150, 200, and 300 °C. The solution combustion synthesis process, in both thin films and bulk Cu:NiOx, is investigated. Thermal analysis studies using TGA and DTA reveal that the Cu:NiOx thin films show a more gradual mass loss while the bulk Cu:NiOx exhibits a distinct combustion process. The thin films can crystallize to Cu:NiOx at an annealing temperature of 300 °C, irrespective of the Acac/Oxidizer ratio, whereas lower annealing temperatures (150 and 200 °C) produce amorphous materials. A detail characterization study of solution combustion synthesized Cu:NiOx, including XPS, UV-Vis, AFM, and Contact angle measurements, is presented. Finally, 50 nm Cu:NiOx thin films are introduced as HTLs within the inverted perovskite solar cell device architecture. The Cu:NiOx HTL annealed at 150 and 200 °C provided PVSCs with limited functionality, whereas efficient triple-cation Cs0.04(MA0.17FA0.83)0.96 Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3-based PVSCs achieved for Cu:NiOx HTLs for annealing temperature of 300 °C.

Abstract
There is a large interest in luminescent materials for application as temperature sensors. In this scenario, we investigate the performance of neodymium-doped alkaline-earth fluoride (Nd3+ :MF2 ; M=Ba, Ca, Sr) crystalline powders prepared by combustion synthesis for optical temperature-sensing applications based on the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) technique. We observe that the near-infrared luminescence spectral profile of Nd3+ changes with the temperature in a way that its behavior is suitable for optical thermometry operation within the first biological window. We also observe that the thermometric sensitivities of all studied samples change depending on the spectral integration range used in the LIR analysis. Nd3+ :CaF2 presents the largest sensitivity values, with a maximum absolute sensitivity of 6.5×10-3 /K at 824 K and a relative sensitivity of 1.71 %/K at human-body temperature (310 K). The performance of CaF2 for optical thermometry is superior to that of β-NaYF4 , a standard material commonly used for optical bioimaging and temperature sensing, and on par with the most efficient oxide nanostructured materials. The use of thermometry data to help understand structural properties via Judd-Ofelt intensity standard parameters is also discussed.

Abstract
A series of mixed oxides of CuO, CeO2, and SiO2 were prepared by gel combustion and employed for the first time as efficient solid catalysts in a solvent-less liquid-phase cross-dehydrogenative coupling. The facile one-pot catalyst synthesis resulted in highly porous materials presenting large specific surface areas and strong metal–support interactions. The interaction with highly dispersed CeO2 enhanced the redox properties of the CuO species. The CuO-CeO2-SiO2 composites exhibited excellent catalytic performance for the selective coupling between 1,1-diphenylethylene and tetrahydrofuran with a yield up to 85% of 2-(2,2-diphenylvinyl)-tetrahydrofuran in the presence of di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTPB) and KI. Albeit both CuO and CeO2 species are proved to be responsible for the catalytic conversion, a great synergistic improvement in the catalytic activity was obtained by extended contact between the oxide phases by high porosity in comparison with the reactions using individual Cu or Ce catalysts. The activity of the composite catalyst was shown to be highly stable after five successive reaction cycles. Furthermore, the study scope was extended to the synthesis of different derivatives via composite-catalyzed coupling of C(sp2)-H with C(sp3-H) adjacent to a heteroatom. The good yields recorded proved the general validity of this composite for the cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction rarely performed on solid catalysts.

Abstract
The production of syngas via dry reforming of methane (DRM) has drawn tremendous research interest, ascribed to its remarkable economic and environmental impacts. Herein, we report the synthesis of K, Na, Cs, Li, and Mg-promoted Ni/La2O3 using solution combustion synthesis (SCS). The properties of the catalysts were determined by N2 physisorption experiments, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), and H2-TPR (temperature programmed reduction). In addition, their catalytic performance towards DRM was evaluated at 700 °C. The results demonstrated that all catalysts exhibited porous structures with high specific surface area, in particular, Mg-promoted Ni/La2O3 (Mg–Ni–La2O3) which depicted the highest surface area and highest pore volume (54.2 m2 g−1, 0.36 cm3 g−1). Furthermore, Mg–Ni–La2O3 exhibited outstanding catalytic performance in terms of activity and chemical stability compared to its counterparts. For instance, at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 30 000 mL g−1 h−1, it afforded 83.2% methane conversion and 90.8% CO2 conversion at 700 °C with no detectable carbon deposition over an operating period of 100 h. The superb DRM catalytic performance of Mg–Ni–La2O3 was attributed to the high specific surface area/porosity, strong metal-support interaction (MSI), and enhanced basicity, in particular the strong basic sites compared to other promoted catalysts. These factors remarkably enhance the catalytic performance and foster resistance to coke deposition. Alkali and alkaline earth metal oxides-promoted Ni/La2O3 catalysts synthesized by solution combustion synthesis revealed enhanced catalytic performance towards dry reforming of methane.![]()

Abstract
Catalytic hydrolysis of sodium borohydride can potentially be considered as a convenient and safe method to generate hydrogen, an environmentally clean and sustainable fuel for the future. The present effort establishes the development of FeCuCo tri-metallic oxide catalyst by a simple, single-step solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method for hydrogen generation from NaBH4 hydrolysis. Amongst series of FeCuCo tri-metallic oxide catalyst synthesized, FeCuCo with 50:37.5:12.5 wt% respective precursor loading displayed remarkable activity by generating hydrogen at the rate of 1380 mL min-1 g-1 (1242 mL in 18 min) with turnover frequency (TOF) of 62.02 mol g-1 min-1. The catalyst was characterized by using various techniques to understand their physiochemical and morphological properties. The results revealed that the catalyst synthesized by combustion method led to the formation of FeCuCo with appreciable surface area, porous foam-like morphology and high surface acidity. Major factors affecting the hydrolysis of NaBH4 such as catalyst loading, NaOH concentration and temperature variation were studied in detail. Additionally, the FeCuCo catalyst also displayed substantial recyclability performance up to eight cycles without considerable loss in its catalytic activity. Therefore, FeCuCo oxide can be demonstrated as one of the most efficient, cost effective tri-metallic catalyst so far for application in the hydrogen generation.

Abstract
Nanocrystalline nickel manganite (NiMn2O4) powder with a pure cubic spinel phase structure was synthesized via sol-gel combustion and characterized with XRD, FT-IR, XPS and SEM. The powder was mixed with sodium alginate gel to form a nano-biocomposite gel, dried at room temperature to form a thick film and characterized with FT-IR and SEM. DC resistance and AC impedance of sensor test structures obtained by drop casting the nano-biocomposite gel onto test interdigitated PdAg electrodes on an alumina substrate were measured in the temperature range of 20–50 °C at a constant relative humidity (RH) of 50% and at room temperature (25 °C) in the RH range of 40–90%. The material constant obtained from the measured decrease in resistance with temperature was determined to be 4523 K, while the temperature sensitivity at room temperature (25 °C) was −5.09%/K. Analysis of the complex impedance plots showed a dominant influence of grains. The decrease in complex impedance with increase in temperature confirmed the negative temperature coefficient effect. The grain resistance and grain relaxation frequency were determined using an equivalent circuit. The activation energy for conduction was determined as 0.45 eV from the temperature dependence of the grain resistance according to the small polaron hopping model, while the activation energy for relaxation was 0.43 eV determined from the Arrhenius dependence of the grain relaxation frequency on temperature.

Abstract
With the modern development of power electrification, polymer nanocomposite dielectrics (or nanodielectrics) have attracted significant research attention. The idea is to combine the high dielectric constant of inorganic nanofillers and the high breakdown strength/low loss of a polymer matrix for higher energy density polymer film capacitors. Although impressively high energy density has been achieved at the laboratory scale, there is still a large gap from the eventual goal of polymer nanodielectric capacitors. In this review, we focus on essential material issues for two types of polymer nanodielectrics, polymer/conductive nanoparticle and polymer/ceramic nanoparticle composites. Various material design parameters, including dielectric constant, dielectric loss, breakdown strength, high temperature rating, and discharged energy density will be discussed from both fundamental science and high-voltage capacitor application points of view. The objective is to identify advantages and disadvantages of the polymer nanodielectric approach against other approaches utilizing neat dielectric polymers and ceramics. Given the state-of-the-art understanding, future research directions are outlined for the continued development of polymer nanodielectrics for electric energy storage applications.

Sunlight powered degradation of pentoxifylline Cs 0.5Li 0.5FeO 2 as a green reusable photocatalyst: Mechanism, kinetics and toxicity studies. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 416:125762. [PMID: 33819643 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.125762] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2021] [Revised: 03/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
The degradation of Pentoxifylline (PXF) was achieved successfully by green energy in a built-in solar photocatalytic system using hybrid LiCs ferrites (Li0.5Cs0.5FeO2) as magnetically recoverable photocatalysts. Kinetics showed a first-order reaction rate with maximum PXF removal of 94.91% at mildly acidic pH; additionally, the ferromagnetic properties of catalyst allowed recovery and reuse multiple times, reducing costs and time in degradation processes. The degradation products were identified by HPLC-MS and allowed us to propose a thermodynamically feasible mechanism that was validated through DFT calculations. Additionally, toxicity studies have been performed in bacteria and yeast where high loadings of Cs showed to be harmful to Staphylococcus aureus (MIC≥ 4.0 mg/mL); Salmonella typhi (MIC≥ 8.0 mg/mL) and Candida albicans (MIC≥ 10.0 mg/mL). The presented setup shows effectiveness and robustness in a degradation process using alternative energy sources for the elimination of non-biodegradable pollutants.

Abstract
The most common forms of tissue impairment are fracture bones and significant bone disorders caused by multiple traumas or normal aging. Surgical care sometimes necessitates the placement of a temporary or permanent prosthesis, which continues to be a challenge for orthopedic surgeons, including those with large bone defects. Electrospun scaffolds made from natural and synthetic nanofiber-based polymers are studied as natural extracellular matrix (ECM)-like scaffolds for tissue engineering. Besides, nanostructured materials have properties and functions depending on the scale of natural materials such as hydroxyapatite (HAP), ranging from 1 to 100 nm, which activity was proficient upon enrolled in nanofiber mats. The use of nanofibers in combination with nano-HAP has increased the scaffold's ability to replicate the construction of natural bone tissue that is the aim of the present text. In bone engineering, nanofiber substrates facilitate cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, while HAP induces cells to secrete ECM for bone mineralization and development. This review aims to draw the reader's attention to the critical issues with synthetic and natural polymers containing HAP in bone tissue engineering; co-substituted hydroxyapatite has also been mentioned.

Abstract
Renewable and sustainable functional nanomaterials, which can be employed in alternative green energy sources, are highly desirable. Transition metal chalcogenides are potential catalysts for processes resulting in energy generation and storage. In order to optimize their catalytic performance, high phase purity and precise control over shape and size are indispensable. Metal-organic precursors with pre-formed bonds between the metal and the chalcogenide atoms are advantageous in synthesizing phase pure transition metal chalcogenides with controlled shape and sizes. This can be achieved by the decomposition of metal-organic precursors in the presence of suitable surfactants/capping agents. However, the recent studies on electrocatalysis at the nanoscale level reveal that the capping agents attached to their surface have a detrimental effect on their efficiency. The removal of surfactants from active sites to obtain bare surface nanoparticles is necessary to enhance catalytic activity. Herein, we have discussed the properties of different metal-organic precursors and the role of surfactants in the colloidal synthesis of metal chalcogenide nanomaterials. Moreover, the effect of surfactants on their electrocatalytic performance, the commonly used strategies for removing surfactants from the surface of nanomaterials and the future perspectives are reviewed.

Abstract
High temperature and luminous plasma make it difficult to study the surface of nanopowders during combustion, particularly, the combustion of aluminum-based nanopowders. The noncontact observation method-laser speckle correlation (LSC) in this work is used for remote characterization of changes in the surface of aluminum nanopowder during combustion in air. The observation results using LSC at a varying distance of up to 5 m were verified by simultaneous high-speed video recording of speckle patterns, analyzing the correlation coefficient of speckle patterns, and comparing the data obtained with direct observation of the combustion process. The results demonstrated the efficiency of using the LSC method for remote characterization of changes in the surface of an object shielded by a luminous layer. The simple hardware implementation makes the LSC method potentially more valuable in the study of various high-temperature processes.

Abstract
Combustion synthesis in uranyl nitrate-acetylacetone-2-methoxyethanol solutions was used to deposit thin UO2 films on aluminum substrates to investigate the irradiation-induced restructuring processes. Thermal analysis revealed that the combustion reactions in these solutions are initiated at ∼160 °C. The heat released during the process and the subsequent brief annealing at 400 °C allow the deposition of polycrystalline films with 5-10 nm UO2 grains. The use of multiple deposition cycles enables tuning of the film thicknesses in the 35-260 nm range. Irradiation with Ar2+ ions (1.7 MeV energy and a fluence of up to 1 × 1017 ions/cm2) is utilized to generate a uniform distribution of atomic displacements within the films. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and alpha-particle emission spectroscopy showed that the films were stable under irradiation and did not undergo sputtering degradation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that the stoichiometry and uranium ionic concentrations remain stable during irradiation. The high-resolution electron microscopy imaging and electron diffraction analysis demonstrated that at the early stages of irradiation (below 1 × 1016 ion/cm2) UO2 films show complete amorphization and beam-induced densification (sintering), resulting in a pore-free disordered film. Prolonged irradiation (5 × 1016 ion/cm2) is shown to trigger a crystallization process at the surface of the films that moves toward the UO2/Al interface, converting the entire amorphous material into a highly crystalline film. This work reports on an entirely different radiation-induced restructuring of the nanoscale UO2 compared to the coarse-grained counterpart. The preparation of thin UO2 films deposited on Al substrates fills an area of national need within the stockpile stewardship program of the National Nuclear Security Administration and fundamental research with actinides. The method reported in this work produces pure, robust, and uniform thin-film actinide targets for nuclear science measurements.

Abstract
A novel solution combustion synthesis of nanoscale spinel-structured Co3O4 powder was proposed in this work. The obtained material was composed of loosely arranged nanoparticles whose average diameter was about 36 nm. The as-prepared cobalt oxide powder was also tested as the anode material for Li-ion batteries and revealed specific capacities of 1060 and 533 mAh·g-1 after 100 cycles at charge-discharge current densities of 100 and 500 mA·g-1, respectively. Moreover, electrochemical measurements indicate that even though the synthesized nanomaterial possesses a low active surface area, it exhibits a relatively high specific capacity measured at 100 mA·g-1 after 100 cycles and a quite good rate capability at current densities between 50 and 5000 mA·g-1.

Abstract
Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles are the most desired nanomaterials for biomedical applications due to their unique physiochemical properties. A facile single-step process for the preparation of a highly stable and biocompatible magnetic colloidal suspension based on citric-acid-coated magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles used as an effective heating source for the hyperthermia treatment of cancer cells is presented. The physicochemical analysis revealed that the magnetic colloidal suspension had a z-average diameter of 72.7 nm at 25 °C with a polydispersity index of 0.179 and a zeta potential of −45.0 mV, superparamagnetic features, and a heating capacity that was quantified by an intrinsic loss power analysis. Raman spectroscopy showed the presence of magnetite and confirmed the presence of citric acid on the surfaces of the magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. The biological results showed that breast adenocarcinoma cells (MDA-MB-231) were significantly affected after exposure to the magnetic colloidal suspension with a concentration of 30 µg/mL 24 h post-treatment under hyperthermic conditions, while the nontumorigenic (MCF-10A) cells exhibited a viability above 90% under the same thermal setup. Thus, the biological data obtained in the present study clearly endorse the need for further investigations to establish the clinical biological potential of synthesized magnetic colloidal suspension for magnetically triggered hyperthermia.

Abstract
Implant materials must mimic natural human bones with biocompatibility, osteoconductivity and mechanical stability to successfully replace damaged or disease-affected bones. Synthetic hydroxyapatite was incorporated with bioglass to mimic natural bones for replacing conventional implant materials which has led to certain toxicity issues. Hence, hydroxyapatite (HAp) are recently gaining applicational importance as they are resembling the structure and function of natural bones. Further, nanosized HAp is under extensive research to utilize them as a potential replacement for traditional implants with several exclusive properties. However, chemical synthesis of nano-HAp exhibited toxicity towards normal and healthy cells. Recently, biogenic Hap synthesis from marine and animal sources are introduced as a next generation implant materials, due to their mineral ion and significant porous architecture mediated biocompatibility and bone bonding ability, compared to synthetic HAp. Thus, the purpose of the paper is to give a bird's eye view into the conventional approaches for fabricating nano-HAp, its limitations and the significance of using marine organisms and marine food wastes as a precursor for biogenic nano-Hap production. Moreover, in vivo and in vitro analyses of marine source derived nano-HAp and their potential biomedical applications were also discussed.

Abstract
Pure metallic Co, Ni, and their bimetallic compositions of Co3Ni, CoNi, and CoNi3 nanomaterials were prepared by solution combustion synthesis. Microstructure, phase composition, and crystalline structure of these nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized along with studies of their corrosion and dissolution properties in synthetic freshwater with and without natural organic matter (NOM). The nanomaterials consisted of aggregates of fine NPs (3-30 nm) of almost pure metallic and bimetallic crystal phases with a thin surface oxide covered by a thin carbon shell. The nanomaterials were characterized by BET surface areas ranging from ~ 1 to 8 m2/g for the Ni and Co NPs, to 22.93 m2/g, 14.86 m2/g, and 10.53 m2/g for the Co3Ni, CoNi, CoNi3 NPs, respectively. More Co and Ni were released from the bimetallic NPs compared with the pure metals although their corrosion current densities were lower. In contrast to findings for the pure metal NPs, the presence of NOM increased the release of Co and Ni from the bimetallic NPs in freshwater compared to freshwater only even though its presence reduced the corrosion rate (current density). It was shown that the properties of the bimetallic nanomaterials were influenced by multiple factors such as their composition, including carbon shell, type of surface oxides, and the entropy of mixing.

Abstract
Material formation mechanisms and their selective realization must be well understood for the development of new materials for advanced technologies. Since nanomaterials demonstrate higher specific surface energies compared to their corresponding bulk materials, the homoepitaxial growth of nanomaterials on bulk materials is not thermodynamically favorable. We observed the homoepitaxial growth of nanowires with constant outer diameters on bulk materials in two different, solution-based growth systems. We also suggested potential mechanisms of the spontaneous and homoepitaxial growth of the ZnO nanostructures based on the characterization results. The first key factor for favorable growth was the crystal facet stabilization effect of capping agents during the early stages of growth. The second factor was the change in the dominant growth mode during the reaction in a closed system. The spontaneous, homoepitaxial growth of nanomaterials enables the realization of unprecedented, complex, hierarchical, single-crystalline structures required for future technologies.

Abstract
The results of carbon dioxide reforming of CH4 (model biogas) on catalysts prepared by solution combustion synthesis (SCS) and impregnation of moisture capacity methods are presented. Investigation of the activity of catalysts synthesized from initial mixtures of Co(NO3)2-Al(NO3)3-urea of different compositions was carried out for the production of synthesis-gas, and SCS and traditional incipient wetness impregnation catalyst preparation methods were compared. The methane conversion reached 100%, and the conversion of CO2 increased to 86.2%, while the yield of H2 and CO was 99.2% and 85.4%, respectively, at 900 °C. It was found that CoAl2O4 spinel formation was due to substitution of Al3+ with Co2+ cations. Consequently, CoAl2O4 lattice parameters increased, since the ionic radius of Al3+ (0.51 Å) less than Cο2+ (0.72 Å). Advantages of SCS catalysts in comparison with catalysts prepared by the traditional incipient wetness impregnation method in dry reforming of methane were shown. The aim of this work is to develop a new catalyst for the conversion of model biogas into synthesis gas, which will contribute to the organization of a new environmentally friendly, energy-saving production in the future.

Abstract
The ZnO-based ternary heterostructure ZnO/Eu2O3/NiO nanoparticles are synthesized using waste curd as fuel by a simple one-pot combustion method. The as-synthesized heterostructure is characterized by using various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques including X-ray diffraction, UV-vis, FTIR, SEM, and TEM analyses. The photocatalytic activity of the ternary nanocomposite was tested for the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) under solar light irradiation. The results have revealed that the ternary ZnO/Eu2O3/NiO photocatalyst exhibits excellent performance toward the photocatalytic degradation of the studied dye. Optimization studies revealed that the synthesized heterostructure exhibited a pH-dependent photocatalytic activity, and better results are obtained for specific concentrations of dye and catalysts. Among the different light sources employed during the study, the catalyst was found to possess the best degradation efficiency in visible light.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) multicomponent metal oxides with complex architectures could enable previously impossible energy storage devices, particularly lithium-ion battery (LIB) electrodes with fully controllable form factors. Existing additive manufacturing approaches for fabricating 3D multicomponent metal oxides rely on particle-based or organic-inorganic binders, which are limited in their resolution and chemical composition, respectively. In this work, aqueous metal salt solutions are used as metal precursors to circumvent these limitations, and provide a platform for 3D printing multicomponent metal oxides. As a proof-of-concept, architected lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) structures are fabricated by first synthesizing a homogenous lithium and cobalt nitrate aqueous photoresin, and then using it with digital light processing printing to obtain lithium and cobalt ion containing hydrogels. The 3D hydrogels are calcined to obtain micro-porous self-similar LCO architectures with a resolution of ~100μm. These free-standing, binder- and conductive additive-free LCO structures are integrated as cathodes into LIBs, and exhibit electrochemical capacity retention of 76% over 100 cycles at C/10. This facile approach to fabricating 3D LCO structures can be extended to other materials by tailoring the identity and stoichiometry of the metal salt solutions used, providing a versatile method for the fabrication of multicomponent metal oxides with complex 3D architectures.

Abstract
Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ perovskite-type compounds are well-known mixed ionic-electronic conductors for oxygen electrocatalytic applications, although their performance is strictly dependent on the selected preparation methodology and processing parameters. The reducers-to-oxidizers ratio (Φ) is a very important parameter in the solution combustion synthesis of mixed ionic-electronic conductors. Selection of Φ is not trivial and it strongly depends on the type of fuel used, the chemical composition and the specific application of the material. This work clarifies the role of Φ in the solution combustion synthesis of Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ for application as oxygen electrocatalysts. Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ powders were synthesized by solution combustion synthesis using sucrose-polyethylene glycol fuel mixtures with reducers-to-oxidizers ratio values between 1 (stoichiometric) and 3 (over-stoichiometric). Chemical-physical properties were studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, N2 adsorption at −196 °C, H2-temperature programmed reduction and thermogravimetric analysis. The results evidenced the direct role of Φ on the intensity and redox environment of the combustion process, and its indirect influence on the Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ electrode materials properties. Taking into account the general picture, the highly over-stoichiometric Φ was selected as the optimal one and the electrochemical activity of the corresponding powder was tested by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy on electrolyte-supported half-cells employing a Ce0.8Sm0.2O2-x electrolyte.

Abstract
Alkali metal (Li, Na, K) ion batteries with high energy density are urgently required for large-scale energy storage applications while the lack of advanced anode materials restricts their development. Recently, Bi-based materials have been recognized as promising electrode candidates for alkali metal-ion batteries due to their high volumetric capacity and suitable operating potential. Herein, the latest progress of Bi-based electrode materials for alkali metal-ion batteries is summarized, mainly focusing on synthesis strategies, structural features, storage mechanisms, and the corresponding electrochemical performance. Particularly, the optimization of electrode-electrolyte interphase is also discussed. In addition, the remaining challenges and further perspectives of Bi-based electrode materials are outlined. This review aims to provide comprehensive knowledge of Bi-based materials and offer a guideline toward more applications in high-performance batteries.
