We have correlated the performance of double perovskite metal oxides as support media for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) with their intrinsic size, shape, and composition.
First-principles density functional theory calculations, for the first time, was used to predict the Mg3TeO6-to-perovskite type phase transition in Mn3TeO6 at around 5 GPa.
Perovskite-type metal oxides have been widely investigated and applied in various fields in the past several decades due to their extraordinary variability of compositions and structures with targeted physical and chemical properties (e.g., redox behaviour, oxygen mobility, electronic and ionic conductivity).
Four anti-perovskite-type compounds, ZnNNi3, ZnCNi3, SnNCo3, and SnCCo3, are synthesised through reactions between metal oxides and organic compound melamine (C3H6N6).
