We report dynamic alternation of the redox chemistry of the Fe/ Fe couple in magnetite during high temperature water−gas shift reaction in Cu codoped Mmodified ferrite catalysts. Various hematitic solid solutions of the type Fe2O3−MxOy−CuOx with M = Cr, Ce, Ni, Co, Mn, and Zn are synthesized using the industrially economical and environmentally friendly coprecipitation method. Interestingly, Cu...

Composite nanofibers of biopolymers and inorganic materials have been widely explored as tissue engineering scaffolds because of their superior structural, mechanical and biological properties. In this study, magnesium ferrite (Mg-ferrite) based composite nanofibers were synthesized using an electrospinning technique. Mg-ferrite nanoparticles were first synthesized using the reverse micelle met...

In our present work, magnetic cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles have been successfully synthesised by thermal decomposition of Fe(III) and Co(II) acetylacetonate compounds in organic solvents in the presence of oleic acid (OA)/ oleylamine (OLA) as surfactants and 1,2-hexadecanediol (HDD) or octadecanol (OCD-ol) as an accelerating agent. As a result, CoFe2O4 nanoparticles of different shape...

The performance of cavities loaded with Ni-Zn ferrites under parallel DC-biasing is often limited by the highloss-effect (HLE) or quality-loss-effect (QLE) [1]. After some milliseconds at fixed frequencies, a sudden drop of the resonator's voltage occurs above a specific threshold level. The mechanism of this loss has not been fully understood yet. At GSI, a simple method has been found to work...

Two sets of core/shell magnetic nanoparticles, CoFe2O4/Fe3O4 and Fe3O4/CoFe2O4, with a fixed diameter of the core (~ 4.1 and ~ 6.3 nm for the former and latter sets, respectively) and thickness of shells up to 2.5 nm were synthesized from metal chlorides in a diethylene glycol solution. The nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and magnetic mea...

Hierarchical macroporous Zn(2)SnO(4) consisting of nanoparticles has been synthesized for the first time through an in situ hydrothermal and a following annealing process in the presence of a polystyrene (PS) template. Zn(2)SnO(4) macropore sizes are tuned in the range of 180-650 nm by selecting the appropriate size of PS spheres, and the building unit size of the Zn(2)SnO(4)macropore is 4.2 nm...
