The equilibrium-phase relations between copper mattes and spinel-saturated iron silicate slags were investigated at 1250°C pSO2 of 0.25 atm. experiments conducted in synthesized spinel crucibles (Fe3O4) controlled CO-CO2-SO2-Ar gas mixtures using a high-temperature isothermal equilibration/quenching technique. compositions characterized an electron probe X-ray microanalyzer. matte slag displaye...

Structure-electrochemical property correlation is presented for lithium-manganese-rich layered-layered nickel manganese cobalt oxide (LMR-NMC) having composition Li1.2Co0.1Mn0.55Ni0.15O2 (TODA HE5050) in order to examine the possible reasons for voltage fade during short-to-mid-term electrochemical cycling. The Li1.2Co0.1Mn0.55Ni0.15O2 based cathodes were cycled at two different upper cutoff vo...

Iron-containing spinels, also known as ferrospinels, are widely used catalysts for the water gas shift (WGS) reaction. The catalytic activity of spinels containing transition metal ions as dopants or modifiers is influenced by the acid base and redox properties of these ions as well as by their site occupancy amongst the octahedral and tetrahedral sites in the spinel structure. It has been esta...

Oxygen isotopic measurements of 20 spinel (MgAl2O4) grains from the CM2 meteorite Murray (average diameter 0.45 m), seven spinel grains from ordinary chondrites (OC, 0.3 to 2 m) and three spinel grains from the CI chondrite Orgueil (0.4 to 0.7 m) have revealed large anomalies and thus established their presolar origin. Their O isotopic ratios fall into all four previously defined groups and ind...

“Spinel-layered” Li1+xNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (x = 0, 0.5, 1) materials are considered as a cobalt-free alternative to currently used positive electrode (cathode) for Li-ion batteries. In this work, their electrochemical properties and corresponding phase transitions were studied by means of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (SXPD) in operando regime. Within the potential limit 2.2–4.9 V vs. Li/Li+ LiN...

The polycrystalline Li1þxTi2O4 has intricate physical behaviors in normal and superconducting state. High-resolution X-ray diffraction shows that it is the pure spinel phase and there is no structural phase transition down to 20 K. In addition to the field-induced broadening of RðT Þ near the superconducting regime, an anomalous upturn in RðT Þ appears near the transition temperature when magne...

Neutron diffraction study of nanostructured magnetite was performed at room temperature. The actual grain-size was determined from evaluation of X-ray diffraction profiles by the modified Williamson-Hall plot. The atomic structure parameters and the sublattice magnetic moments were determined using the Rietveld refinement of the neutron diffraction spectra. The sublattice magnetization at the o...
