Schematic representation showing the synthesis route of Cu0.79Co0.21LaxFe2-xO4. Abstract This research presents the successful synthesis of Cu0.79Co0.21LaxFe2-xO4 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.8) (spinel ferrite) nanoparticles via the sol-gel auto combustion technique, with varying La3+ dopant concentrations. In this study, the estimated crystallite size...

Recovering manganese from waste batteries can promote the development of new energy. Herein, nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate, representative impurities in waste battery leachate, are selected to examine their influence on the crystallization thermodynamics and nucleation of manganese sulfate monohydrate by the alterations in solubility and metastable...

Iron nanosheets, 70–350 nm thick, coated transparently on glass and WO3 lenses using ionic technique markedly alter the optical properties of WO3. Namely, the absorption increases over 240-fold, bandgap is redshifted and dielectric properties are enhanced. The optical conductivity, terahertz cutoff (1.0-30 THz), charge density, and infrared plasmon...

SrCu1/3Mn1/3W1/3O3 has monoclinic structure with average crystallite size of 36.8 nm. The sample has high dielectric constant, low loss, semiconducting nature and 1.71 eV bandgap energy for possible energy stroage devices and photovoltaic applications Abstract In this communication, the synthesis and characterizations of modified strontium...

Two morphologies of cerium oxide (CeO2) abrasive particles, octahedral, and spheroidal, are synthesized by solvothermal method using cerium nitrate hexahydrate (Ce(NO3)3-6H2O) as raw material. Comparing the bandgap energies and the polishing performance of the two types of abrasive particles as well as molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the...
