AB  - The increasing demand for efficient catalysts has raised concerns about the limited availability and high cost of platinum group metal (PGM) catalysts. Ruthenium dioxide (RuO2) has shown remarkable catalytic activity; however, its extensive use is hindered by its high cost. To tackle this challenge, we investigated the utilization of zinc oxide (ZnO) as a promising alternative to reduce reliance on expensive RuO2 catalysts while maintaining catalytic performance by synthesizing ZnO/RuO2 composites in various mass ratios (1:1, 2:1, 10:1) through microwave processing of a precipitate, followed by calcination at temperatures of 300 and 600 °C. The crystallinity and phase purity of the particles were analyzed using Xray powder diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. Surface chemistry was examined by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was employed to investigate the morphology and particle size. Photoluminescence and UVVis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy were utilized for analyzing the optical properties. The electrocatalytic activity of the materials were evaluated via linear sweep voltammetry in both acidic (0.1 M H2SO4) and alkaline (0.1 M NaOH) electrolytes. The ZnO/RuO2 composites exhibited outstanding catalytic performance for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in both types of electrolytes.

AB  - Hydroxyapatite attracts great attention as hard tissues implant material for bones and teeth. Its application in reconstructive medicine depends on its biocompatibility, which is in a function of composition and surface properties. The insertion of a protein element in the composition of implants can improve the cell adhesion and the osseointegration. Having this in mind, the proposal of this work was to develop L-alanine-grafted hydroxyapatite nanoparticles and to study their biocompatibility. Two L-alanine sources and three grafting methods were used for hydroxyapatite surface functionalization. The efficiency of grafting was determined based on X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal analyses, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated the formation of hydroxyapatite with 8–25 wt% of organic content, depending on the grafting method. Protein adsorption, cell adhesion, and viability studies were carried out to evaluate biological properties of grafted materials. The viability of MG-63 human osteoblastic cells following 24 h incubation with the alanine-grafted hydroxyapatite samples is well preserved, being in all cases above the viability of cells incubated with hydroxyapatite. The alanine-grafted hydroxyapatite prepared in situ and by simple mixture showed higher protein adsorption and cell adhesion, respectively, indicating their potential toward use in regenerative medicine.

AB  - Zink oxide-based materials have a great potential to be applied in photo and electro catalysts, opto-electronic (indoor illumination, LED), etc. Attractiveness of ZnO is attributed to wide bandgap energy at room temperature (3.37 eV), high electron mobility and transfer efficiency (115-155 cm2·V-1·s-1), large exciton binding energy (60 meV), intrinsic stability, nontoxicity, environmental compatibility and also, simple and not expensive synthesis procedure. A lot of different approaches can be used to modify the bandgap (i.e. optical absorption) of ZnO materials: metal and nonmetal ion doping, hydrogenation, the incorporation of crystalline defects in the form of V and I, modification of particles morphology and surface topology, etc.
In this study, eco-friendly and rapid microwave processing of a precipitate was used to produce Fe-doped ZnO nanoparticles with 5, 10, 15 and 20 at.% of Fe (Zn1-xFeyO(1-x+1.5y)). The influence of different amount of Fe substituted Zn in ZnO on the crystal structure, morphological, textural, and optical properties as well as on functionality of ZnO particles was investigated. The crystal structure and phase purity of the Zn1-xFeyO(1-x+1.5y) particles were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Effects of the Fe3+ amount on particles morphology and texture properties were observed with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE–SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherm, respectively. Optical properties were studied using UV-Vis diffuse reflectance and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Functionality of ZnO particles was studied due to their photocatalytic and electrochemical activities. Photocatalytic activity was examined via decolorization of methylene blue under direct sunlight irradiation. Electrochemical behavior of the ZnO samples as anode material was evaluated by linear sweep voltammetry in 0.5 M Na2SO4 electrolyte.

AB  - Catalytic materials are the greatest challenge for the commercial application of water electrolysis (WEs) and fuel cells (FCs) as clean energy technologies. There is a need to find an alternative to expensive and unavailable platinum group metal (PGM) catalysts. This study aimed to reduce the cost of PGM materials by replacing Ru with RuO2 and lowering the amount of RuO2 by adding abundant and multifunctional ZnO. A ZnO@RuO2 composite in a 10:1 molar ratio was synthesized by microwave processing of a precipitate as a green, low-cost, and fast method, and then annealed at 300°C and 600°C to improve the catalytic properties. The physicochemical properties of the ZnO@RuO2 composites were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The electrochemical activity of the samples was investigated by linear sweep voltammetry in acidic and alkaline electrolytes. We observed good bifunctional catalytic activity of the ZnO@RuO2 composites toward HER and OER in both electrolytes. The improved bifunctional catalytic activity of the ZnO@RuO2 composite by annealing was discussed and attributed to the reduced number of bulk oxygen vacancies and the increased number of established heterojunctions.

AB  - Dual templating approach, using hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), was employed in an attempt to synthesize hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite. Amount of mesoporogen and the duration of aging of the precursor were varied. Majority of the synthesis routes resulted in phase separation, yielding separate ZSM-5 and amorphous mesoporous material. The relative amounts of the two phases were dependent on the CTAB amount ratio and also significantly on the duration of precursor aging before CTAB addition. One particular combination of the two factors led to the formation of a homogeneous hierarchical form of ZSM-5 with leafy morphology, consisting of intergrown thin crystalline sheets which formed flower-like structures. The hierarchical ZSM-5 possessed significant microporous (≈95 m2/g) and highly developed mesoporous surface (≈470 m2/g), with a relatively broad distribution of mesopore sizes (<20 nm). The acidity of all samples was studied in detail. Isothermal microcalorimetry/volumetry of ammonia adsorption provided quantitative data on the number and distribution of strength of acidic sites. In situ FTIR of pyridine and collidine adsorption was used to quantify Brønsted and Lewis acid sites, and to provide information on their location - in the micropores or mesopores/external surface. The hierarchical ZSM-5 possessed both Lewis and Brønsted acidity, with Brønsted sites located mainly in the micropores. All samples were fully characterized using XRD, low temperature nitrogen adsorption, FESEM and EDS. The synthetic route used for obtaining the ZSM-5 zeolite with flower-like morphology is a simple strategy for preparing hierarchical ZSM-5 forms targeting enhanced diffusivity and accessibility of catalytically active sites.

The synthetic route used for obtaining the ZSM-5 zeolite with flower-like morphology is a simple strategy for preparing hierarchical ZSM-5 forms targeting enhanced diffusivity and accessibility of catalytically active sites.",

AB  - Dense calcium phosphate-based ceramics were fabricated to be used as targets for pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Nanostructured cobalt-substituted hydroxyapatite (Co:HAP) was used as a starting powder. To vary phase composition and microstructure of targets, two sintering approaches were applied, conventional (CS) and two-step sintering (TSS). The obtained results show that in both cases biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramics (targets) were prepared, with slightly different HAP-to-β–TCP amount ratio and a significantly different microstructure. While the CS method yielded fully dense ceramics with an average grain size of 1.3 μm, the ceramics prepared by TSS had a density of 98.5%, with a predominant grain size below 100 nm. (Ca + Co)P coatings were prepared by PLD of (Ca + Co)P targets. The temperature of the Ti substrate was adjusted to be 25 and 500 °C. The results show that the phase composition of (Ca + Co)P coatings depended on the phase composition of targets as well as on the temperature of the Ti substrate. The coating prepared at 25 °C using CS target consisted of three calcium phosphate phases, HAP, β–TCP and α–TCP; when the TSS target was used, the coating was biphasic, containing HAP and β–TCP. When the substrate was heated to 500 °C, regardless of whether the CS or the TSS target was used, the deposited coatings were composed of HAP and α–TCP. Due to different phase compositions, the (Ca + Co)P coatings deposited at 25 °C showed an improved hardness compared to those deposited at 500 °C. The obtained results confirmed that the phase composition, morphology and mechanical properties of 0.3 μm thick (Ca + Co)P coatings on a Ti substrate can be tailored by employing (Ca + Co)P targets with different microstructures, and also by varying the temperature of the Ti substrate during deposition experiments.

AB  - This paper reports a detailed study of crystal structure and dielectric properties of ruthenium-substituted calcium-copper titanates (CaCu3Ti4−xRuxO12, CCTRO). A series of three samples with different stoichiometry was prepared: CaCu3Ti4−xRuxO12, x = 0, 1 and 4, abbreviated as CCTO, CCT3RO and CCRO, respectively. A detailed structural analysis of CCTRO samples was done by the Rietveld refinement of XRPD data. The results show that, regardless of whether Ti4+ or Ru4+ ions are placed in B crystallographic position in AA’3B4O12 (CaCu3Ti4−xRuxO12) unit cell, the crystal structure remains cubic with Im3¯ symmetry. Slight increases in the unit cell parameters, cell volume and interatomic distances indicate that Ru4+ ions with larger ionic radii (0.62 Å) than Ti4+ (0.605 Å) are incorporated in the CaCu3Ti4−xRuxO12 crystal lattice. The structural investigations were confirmed using TEM, HRTEM and ADF/STEM analyses, including EDXS elemental mapping. The effect of Ru atoms share in CaCu3Ti4−xRuxO12 samples on their electrical properties was determined by impedance and dielectric measurements. Results of dielectric measurements indicate that one atom of ruthenium per CaCu3Ti4−xRuxO12 unit cell transforms dielectric CCTO into conductive CCT3RO while preserving cubic crystal structure. Our findings about CCTO and CCT3RO ceramics promote them as ideal tandem to overcome the problem of stress on dielectric-electrode interfaces in capacitors.

AB  - Hydroxyapatite (HAp) attracts great attention due to application in reconstructive medicine for hard tissues, mostly bones and teeth, where it is declared to be highly biocompatible material. Its grafting with amino acids further increases biocompatibility and has crucial importance for acceptance of body implants. In this work different methods of grafting were investigated: simple mixing, thermal treatment induction and in situ synthesis/grafting reactions. Two amino acid precursors were separately tested in grafting procedures: pure alanine and alanine methyl ester hydrochloride. The efficiency of grafting was determined based on X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermal analyses (DSC, TG/DTA) of obtained powders, while complementary UV-VIS spectroscopy of supernatants was additionally performed for quantitative determination of non-grafted nitrogen using ninhydrin standardized procedure.

AB  - Conversion of solar energy into hydrogen energy via the water-splitting process, assisted by photo-semiconductor catalysts, is one of the most promising technologies for the future because large quantities of hydrogen can be generated in a clean and sustainable manner. Zinc oxide (ZnO) represents one of the most investigated photocatalyst. Its ability to overcome the limitations of pristine ZnO through enhanced visible light absorption and reduced recombination of photogenerated charge carriers have gathered the attention of the many research groups. Numerous studies enabled understanding its greater activities and most studies reveal that reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxygen vacancies (Ov) and zinc interstitials (Zni) are responsible for the enhanced photoactivity. In fact, different factors like defect concentration, defect location, valence and conduction band levels play a key role in the working mechanisms of ZnO material.

abstract = "Conversion of solar energy into hydrogen energy via the water-splitting process, assisted by photo-semiconductor catalysts, is one of the most promising technologies for the future because large quantities of hydrogen can be generated in a clean and sustainable manner. Zinc oxide (ZnO) represents one of the most investigated photocatalyst. Its ability to overcome the limitations of pristine ZnO through enhanced visible light absorption and reduced recombination of photogenerated charge carriers have gathered the attention of the many research groups. Numerous studies enabled understanding its greater activities and most studies reveal that reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxygen vacancies (Ov) and zinc interstitials (Zni) are responsible for the enhanced photoactivity. In fact, different factors like defect concentration, defect location, valence and conduction band levels play a key role in the working mechanisms of ZnO material. Materials with the perovskite crystal structure such as BaTiO3 (BT) and BaTi1–XSnXO3 (BTS) found application in the construction of the active layer of the solar cell, in which the photogenerative electrons are generated. The environmental instability of perovskite solar cells caused by the ultraviolet photocatalytic effect of metal oxide layers is a critical issue that must be solved.

AB  - Electrochemical energy storage systems, primarily lithium-ion batteries, have experienced a huge expansion in the last couple of decades, but as they are very expensive to manufacture a lot of effort is being put into finding a more affordable replacement. For this purpose, multivalent cation compounds whose crystal structure is similar to the crystal structures of lithium compounds used in lithium-ion batteries are often studied. Magnesium cation is particularly interesting due to its high availability, significantly lower cost and high theoretical capacity. [1] In this work, the glycine-nitrate method (GNM) was applied for the synthesis of cathode material MgMn2O4 after which its electrochemical properties were studied. As it is known that the addition of chromium ions to the lithium form of this compound increases the stability of capacity during cycling [2,3], the glycine-nitrate method was also used to synthesize MgCr0.15Mn1.85O4. One part of the synthesized MgCr0.15Mn1.85O4 was annealed at 700 oC, and the other part at 800 oC, and all three of the obtained materials were tested in parallel. Structural analysis of the materials was performed by X-ray diffraction and morphology was determined by scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). To study the electrochemical behavior of the materials the following methods were used: cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic cycling.

AB  - Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is the major component of all boney tissues in mammals. Because of this omnipresence in the living world, HAp possesses an exceptional biocompatibility. The downside of this omnipresence, however, comes in the form of its mild to moderate biological activities. One means of augmenting these activities involves the doping of HAp with foreign ions. Here, the first synthesis and characterization of HAp doped with germanium ions is being reported. Germanium was deliberately integrated into the crystal lattice of HAp in the form of germanate anions. Approximately two thirds of the germanate ions introduced into the hydrothermal solution got incorporated into the HAp lattice, yielding the approximate stoichiometry of Ca10-x(PO4)5.62+y(GeO3)0.38(OH)2-z. Germanates replaced the phosphates of stoichiometric HAp and induced the expansion of the HAp lattice both along the screw axis of the calcium ion hexagons and in the direction parallel to the basal plane. Simultaneously, the larger size and the triple valency of the germanate ion as compared to the smaller and trivalent phosphates prompted the bond distortion and charge compensation through defect formation, which reduced the crystallinity and increased the microstrain of the HAp lattice. Vibrational spectroscopic analyses corroborated these crystallographic effects by demonstrating the enhanced heterogeneity of the environments surrounding the active modes after germanate ions were incorporated into HAp. Conforming to La Châtelier's principle, this reduction of the crystallographic order increased the capacity of the material for integration of adventitious carbonates. However, the inclusion of germanate ions induced a partial shift of these carbonates to the hydroxyl channel sites, thus decreasing the ratio of the B-type carbonation to the A-type carbonation. Introduced into HAp, germanium acted as a superb regulator of the particle size and morphology, enhancing their fineness and uniformity. Inclusion of germanate ions also increased the electrophoretic mobility and hydrodynamic surface charge density of the particles by reducing their size and by inducing a more stochastic distribution of terminal ionic groups due to the bending of the crystal facets. Overall, the doping of HAp with germanate ions facilitated the production of narrowly dispersed nanorods with a moderately enhanced structural disorder and with a pronounced potential for the biomedical niche. © 2022 The Author(s)

AB  - It is known that the functional properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) materials depend on their physico-chemical properties, such as optical properties and specific surface area. They are defined with structural characteristics, for example: the particle size and morphology, phase composition, crystallite size, crystallinity degree, as well as the crystal structure ordering, i.e., the presence of structural defects. The primary purpose of this study was to synthesize ZnO powders with various physico-chemical properties by optimizing the reaction conditions in different processing methods. For example, reaction temperature or addition of various surfactants such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, or polyethylene oxide. In this study, to vary physico-chemical properties of ZnO particles, four different synthesis methods were employed: mechanochemical, hydrothermal, ultrasonic and microwave processing. Structural and morphological properties of prepared ZnO powders were characterized using a number of techniques such as: X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. One of the functional properties of the synthesized ZnO powders that was particularly examined is photocatalytic activity. In order to examine ZnO as a photocatalyst, photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) dye was carried out under simulated and direct sunlight irradiation. The UV–Vis spectra showed that the modification of the particle size and morphology from nanospheres to micro-rods resulted in increased absorption, and a slight red-shift of the absorption edge. Besides, the band gap energy of the synthesized ZnO micro and nanocrystals showed the red shift compared to bulk ZnO. According to the results of a Raman spectroscopy, the enhanced visible light absorption of the ZnO micro and nanocrystals is related to two phenomena: the existence of lattice defects (oxygen vacancies and zinc interstitials), and the particle surface sensitization by different surfactants.

AB  - Due to tunable opto-electronic properties ZnO-based nanoparticles (ZnONPs) have been used for application in electronics, optoelectronics, photo(electro)catalysis, etc. Besides, as bio-inert, ZnONPs have a great potential in medicine for biosensing, bioimaging, drug and gene delivery, implants or as antimicrobial and anticancer agents. One of suggested governing mechanism of the biological activities of ZnONPs is based on the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Actually, when ZnONP absorb photon with energy equal or greater than its band gap, electrons (e−) are excited from the valence band (VB) to the conduction band (CB) leaving the holes (h+) in VB. In following, the photogenerated h+ and e− migrate from bulk to surface. The photogenerated h+ at the VB react with water molecules adsorbed at the particle surface to produce hydroxyl radicals (OH•), while e− in CB react with oxygen molecules generating anionic superoxide radicals (O2−•). Radicals can be transformed in highly reactive hydroxyl radicals and so on. Derivatives of this active oxygen can damage the bacterial/tumor cells. However, in sufficiency ROS can damage normal cells as well. Thus, an understanding of ZnONPs crystal structure-activity relationship is crucial for the design of materials safe for application in treating diseases like cancer. In this study we established correlation between the surface-to-bulk defects ratio in ZnONPs and ROS formation. To vary surface-to-bulk defects ratio, series of ZnONP samples were synthesized by microwave processing of precipitate in the presence of a different amount (5, 10 and 20 wt.%) of surfactants, precisely, CTAB and citric acid. The particles crystallinity and phase purity were investigated by X-ray diffraction, Raman and FTIR spectroscopy. The particles morphology and texture properties were observed with FE–SEM and BET, respectively. The optical properties were studied using UV–Vis DRS and PL spectroscopy. ZnONP samples with different surface-to-bulk defect ratio were examined on ROS formation. Surface-to-bulk defect ratio in ZnONP was correlated with ROS formation, besides; their influence on cytotoxicity to normal and cancerous cells was comprehended.

AB  - Due to a high-power conversion efficiency (PCE), perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are the most developing area of research in the past decade. Although lead−based inorganic−organic PSCs has achieved the highest PCE of 25.2%, the toxic nature of lead and poor stability of organic components strongly limits its commercialization. This problem can be overcome by developing of inorganic perovskites with a high PCE. Barium titanate (BaTiO3, BT) belongs to the perovskite crystal structure materials with remarkable dielectric, ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties. In this research, to enhance functional properties of BT we employed functionalization with MEMO silane followed by in-situ alloying with ZnO in different BT to ZnO wt.%. Synthesized ZnO@MEMO@BT composites were tested as photo- and photo-electro catalysts under simulated sunlight irradiation. An enhanced catalytic activity of ZnO@MEMO@BT composites, compared to pure BT is probably due to the modified binding energy and an optimized band structure. In order to investigate the origin of improved catalytic efficiency, pristine BT and composites were characterized using a variety of techniques, including X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The enhanced photo(electro)catalytic activity of the composite materials can be attributed to the synergetic effect of the surface defects and the ZnO/BT heterojunction particles, which enabled charge separation, thereby hindering the recombination of photogenerated carriers.

AB  - Fayalite Fe2SiO4 is synthesized by the solid-state reaction without ball milling. The obtained powder is further structurally and electrochemically examined. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) showed that microsized powder is obtained. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) pattern is used for both phase identification and crystal structure Rietveld refinement. The structure is refined in the orthorhombic Pbnm space group. Mössbauer spectroscopy revealed traces of Fe3+ impurity. The bond valence mapping method is applied for the first time on Fe2SiO4 framework. It shows isolated, non-connected isosurfaces of constant E(Li), which further supports the assumptions of the conversion reactions. Electrochemical performances are investigated through galvanostatic cycling, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Ex-situ XRD and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses are combined to monitor phase change after galvanostatic cycling and to reveal the working mechanism during electrochemical lithiation.

AB  - Eco-friendly and rapid microwave processing of a precipitate was used to produce Fe-doped zinc oxide (Zn1−xFexO, x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.20; ZnO:Fe) nanoparticles, which were tested as catalysts toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in a moderately alkaline solution. The phase composition, crystal structure, morphology, textural properties, surface chemistry, optical properties and band structure were examined to comprehend the influence of Zn2+ partial substitution with Fe3+ on the catalytic activity of ZnO:Fe. Linear sweep voltammetry showed an improved catalytic activity of ZnO:5Fe toward the ORR, compared to pure ZnO, while with increased amounts of the Fe-dopant the activity decreased. The improvement was suggested by a more positive onset potential (0.394 V vs. RHE), current density (0.231 mA cm−2 at 0.150 V vs. RHE), and faster kinetics (Tafel slope, b = 248 mV dec−1), and it may be due to the synergistic effect of (1) a sufficient amount of surface oxygen vacancies, and (2) a certain amount of plate-like particles composed of crystallites with well developed (0001) and (000) facets. Quite the contrary, the OER study showed that the introduction of Fe3+ ions into the ZnO crystal structure resulted in enhanced catalytic activity of all ZnO:Fe samples, compared to pure ZnO, probably due to the modified binding energy and an optimized band structure. With the maximal current density of 1.066 mA cm−2 at 2.216 V vs. RHE, an onset potential of 1.856 V vs. RHE, and the smallest potential difference between the OER and ORR (ΔE = 1.58 V), ZnO:10Fe may be considered a promising bifunctional catalyst toward the OER/ORR in moderately alkaline solution. This study demonstrates that the electrocatalytic activity of ZnO:Fe strongly depends on the defect chemistry and consequently the band structure. Along with providing fundamental insight into the electrocatalytic activity of ZnO:Fe, the study also indicates an optimal stoichiometry for enhanced bifunctional activity toward the OER/ORR, compared to pure ZnO.

AB  - A new method involving the homogeneous dispersion of precursor compounds inside a methylcellulose matrix is used for the synthesis of a composite powder of Li 2 FeP 2 O 7 and carbon. The properties of carbon-containing and carbon-free powders are studied by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) including Rietveld refinement, Mössbauer spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), galvanostatic cycling, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The structure of both powders is refined in a monoclinic framework (space group P2 1 /c). The structural refinement and Mössbauer spectroscopy reveal different degrees of partial occupancy of mixed-occupied sites by lithium. Electrochemical measurements show that the in situ formation of carbon improves capacity (90% of 1-electron theoretical capacity) through decreased charge-transfer resistance. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - Fayalite has been found various applications in many fields. Here is presented its use as anode material for lithium ion batteries. The syntheses of Fe2SiO4 and its composite with carbon are conducted through solid-state reaction at 850 °C under inert atmosphere of argon, using cheap and abundant precursors (Fe(NO3)3×9H2O and amorphous silica). Citric acid served as carbon source. The phase-purity of synthesized powders is checked by X-ray powder diffraction. The crystal structure of the powders is refined in orthorhombic Pbnm space group. Half-cell configuration, with lithium metal as counter electrode and fayalite as working electrode, is used for electrochemical measurements: galvanostatic cycling and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

AB  - Taking advantage of the flexibility of the apatite structure, nano- and micro-particles of hydroxyapatite (HAp) were doped with different combinations of rare earth ions (RE3+ = Gd, Eu, Yb, Tm) to achieve a synergy among their magnetic and optical properties and to enable their application in preventive medicine, particularly diagnostics based on multimodal imaging. All powders were synthesized through hydrothermal processing at T ≤ 200 °C. An X-ray powder diffraction analysis showed that all powders crystallized in P63/m space group of the hexagonal crystal structure. The refined unit-cell parameters reflected a decrease in the unit cell volume as a result of the partial substitution of Ca2+ with smaller RE3+ ions at both cation positions. The FTIR analysis additionally suggested that a synergy may exist solely in the triply doped system, where the lattice symmetry and vibration modes become more coherent than in the singly or doubly doped systems. HAp:RE3+ optical characterization revealed a change in the energy band gap and the appearance of a weak blue luminescence (λex = 370 nm) due to an increased concentration of defects. The “up”- and the “down”-conversion spectra of HAp:Gd/Yb/Tm and HAp:Gd/Eu powders showed characteristic transitions of Tm3+ and Eu3+, respectively. Furthermore, in contrast to diamagnetic HAp, all HAp:RE3+ powders exhibited paramagnetic behavior. Cell viability tests of HAp:Gd/Yb/Tm and HAp:Gd/Eu powders in human dental pulp stem cell cultures indicated their good biocompatibility.

AB  - Hydroxyapatite (HAp) has been widely used as bone reconstruction materials due to their similarity to bone tissue. The improvement of HAp properties was achieved by doping its crystal lattice with different ions. Lanthanides, i.e. Rare Earth Elements (RE) are also suitable for doping HAp. The aim of the presented research was to investigate the possibility of creating lumino-magnetic particles of HAp doped with gadolinium (Gd3+) ions and co-doped with ytterbium/thulium (Yb3+/Tm3+) or europium (Eu3+) ions for potential use in multimodal imaging (MI). Pure HAp (Ca5(PO4)3(OH)), magnetic HAp:Gd (Ca4.85Gd0.15(PO4)3(OH)), and lumino-magnetic HAp:Gd/Yb/Tm (Ca4.85Gd0.03Yb0.1Tm0.02(PO4)3(OH)) and HAp:Gd/Eu (Ca4.94Gd0.02Eu0.04(PO4)3(OH)) particles were synthesized using emulsification process and hydrothermal processing. All synthesized particles had an elongated shape and exhibited a paramagnetic behavior. Reduction of the unit cell volume as a result of replacement of Ca2+ ions by ions with a smaller ionic radius (Gd3+, Yb3+, Tm3+, Eu3+) confirmed by using XRD and Rietveld refined plots. The energy band gap values of the synthesized samples range from 4.93 to 3.18 eV and decrease in the following order: HAp:Gd >HAp>HAp:Gd/Eu>HAp:Gd/Yb/Tm. The results of photoluminescence emission spectra of HAp:Gd/Yb/Tm and HAp:Gd/Eu particles showed characteristic transitions of Tm3+ and Eu3+, respectively.

The results of photoluminescence emission spectra of HAp:Gd/Yb/Tm and HAp:Gd/Eu particles showed characteristic transitions of Tm3+ and Eu3+, respectively.",

AB  - The main goal of this research has been to investigate for the first time the effects of fluorination on the crystal structure, magnetic, and electrochemical properties of the P2-type NaxCoO2 powder. Sodium cobalt oxide with a P2-type structure is synthesized by a modified solid-state reaction consisting of alternating processes of rapid heating up to 750 °C and rapid cooling to the room temperature. The obtained powder is fluorinated using a gas-solid reaction with NH4HF2 as fluorinating agent. Fluorination causes a decrease of sodium content in the parent phase with the concurrent formation of the minor phases of Na2CO3 and NaF. The structure of NaxCoO2 in both powders is refined in P63/mmc space group. The results of the Rietveld refinement combined with the findings from the XPS measurements confirm the Na0.76CoO2 and Na0.44CoO1.96F0.04 stoichiometries for the pristine and fluorinated powders, respectively, which indicates that 4 at.% of fluorine ions per formula unit are incorporated in the structure. Preliminary electrochemical investigations have revealed an improved charge/discharge performance. The influence of fluorination on morphology and magnetic properties has also been examined.
