Single phase Al3+ doped LiMn2O4 has been prepared by flameless solution combustion synthesis method at 600oC for 1h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electric microscope (SEM) were used to determine the phase composition and micro morphology of the products. XRD analysis indicates that the purities increase and the lattice parameters of the products decrease with increasing Al3+ content. Electrochemical test indicates that the cycling performance of the products with Al3+ doping are better than that of the product without Al3+ doping. The product LiAl0.10Mn1.90O4 gets the best electrochemical performance. At the current density of 30mA/g, the initial discharge capacity of LiAl0.10Mn1.90O4 is 124.8mAh/g, and after 20 cycles, the capacity retention is more than 89%. SEM investigation indicates that the particles of LiAl0.10Mn1.90O4 are sub-micron in size and well dispersed.

Spinel LiMn2O4 have been prepared by the solution combustion synthesis method using acetate salts as raw materials and acetic acid as fuel. The phase compositions of the as-prepared products were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrochemical performance of the products was tested by using a coin-type half battery versus lithium metal foil as anode material. XRD results suggested that the purities of the products prepared at 500oC are higher than these of the products prepared at 600oC. For the products prepared at 500oC, the purities of the products increase with increasing acetic acid ratios. But for the products prepared at 600oC, the purities of the products decrease with increasing acetic acid ratios. The performance tests indicated that the electrochemical performances of the products prepared at 500oC are better than these of the products prepared at 600oC. The product prepared at 500oC with the acetic acid ratio of 1.0 gets the best performance. The initial capacity of it reaches to 124.8mAh/g at the current density of 75mA/g, and after 50 cycles, the capacity retention is 93.7%.

LiAl0.1Mn1.9O4 materials were prepared by a solution combustion synthesis method. In order to improve the purity of the products, the effect of further calcination time was investigated. The phase compositions of the as-prepared products were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrochemical performance of the products was tested by using a coin-type half battery versus lithium metal foil as anode material. XRD results suggested that the main phase of the products was LiAl0.1Mn1.9O4, and there was a trace amount Mn2O3 impurity in some of the products. The purity, crystallinity and grain size of the LiAl0.1Mn1.9O4 were increased with increasing further calcination time. Electrochemical experiments demonstrate that the initial discharge capacities of the products with further calcination time of 0, 6, 12 and 24h were 93.7, 105.7, 114.0 and 120.6mAh/g, and about 89.8, 89.5, 89.2 and 88.3% of the initial capacities were retained after 25 cycles, respectively. Further calcination time can enhance the initial capacity, but is not favorable for the cycle ability of the products.

In this paper, LiNixMn2−xO4 materials were prepared by solution combustion synthesis method using acetic salts as raw materials and acetic acid as fuel. The phase structures are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Electrochemical performances of the materials are investigated by galvanostatic charge/discharge methods. XRD results revealed that the main phase of the products with increasing Ni3+ content is LiMn2O4, and there is a trace amount of Mn3O4 found in the product with Ni3+ content of 0.05. Electrochemical experiments showed that the capacity and the cyclability of the LiNixMn2−xO4 materials decrease with increasing Ni3+ content. Ni3+ doping has no significantly improvement for the capacity and the cyclability of the LiMn2O4 spinel.

In this work, we studied possibility to obtain bimetallic nanopowders by our modified solution combustion synthesis method using citric acid as a fuel. Stoichiometric amounts of metal nitrates with metal to metal ratios 1:1 and 1:2 and fuels with final oxidizer to fuel ratio of 1.75 were used as initial components to prepare aqueous solutions. The almost complete absence of metal oxide phases was confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction analysis of obtained materials showed that all samples are pure bimetallic nanopowders with distorted cubic crystal structure of each metal. According to high resolution transmission electron microscopy the mean diameter of metallic particles are about 10 nm for all nanopowders. The calculated interplanar distances of crystals of metal particles as well as detailed scanning transmission electron microscopy studying showed uniform distribution of different metal spices into nanoparticles. Thus, we can conclude the nanopowders are bimetallic particles with co-integrated crystal structures of different metalic spices. We suppose, the possibility of solution combustion synthesis of bimetallic nanopowder in the air environment is due to a combination of type and amount of the fuels as well as technological conditions of the synthesis. These lead to rapid combustion process at low temperature. In addition, protective inert atmosphere appears above freshly synthesized metal nanopowders during thermal decompositions of the fuels that eventually prevent metal oxidation. Modified SCS method could be successfully used for one-step synthesis of complex oxide-oxide and metal-oxide core-shell nanostructures.

In this paper, LiMn2O4 materials were prepared by a solution combustion synthesis method using acetate salts as raw materials and acetic acid as fuel. The effect of further calcination at 500°C and 600°C on the phase structure and composition were investigated. The composition and phase structure are determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD results indicated that the main phase of the products was LiMn2O4,and there was a trace amount Mn2O3 impurity in the products prepared at 500°C and 600°C. The impurity Mn2O3 in the products prepared at 500°C is increased with increasing calcination time, but the Mn2O3 in the products prepared at 600°C is decreased. The grain sizes of the products prepared at 500°C and 600°C are increased with increasing calcination time, and the grain sizes of the products prepared at 600°C are larger than these of the products prepared at 500°C. The lattice parameters of the products prepared at 500°C and 600°C are smaller than that of LiMn2O4 with perfect crystal, and the lattice parameters of the products are more close to that of LiMn2O4 with perfect crystal.

The results of carbon dioxide reforming of CH4 (model biogas) on catalysts prepared by solution combustion synthesis (SCS) and impregnation of moisture capacity methods are presented. Investigation of the activity of catalysts synthesized from initial mixtures of Co(NO3)2-Al(NO3)3-urea of different compositions was carried out for the production of synthesis-gas, and SCS and traditional incipient wetness impregnation catalyst preparation methods were compared. The methane conversion reached 100%, and the conversion of CO2 increased to 86.2%, while the yield of H2 and CO was 99.2% and 85.4%, respectively, at 900 °C. It was found that CoAl2O4 spinel formation was due to substitution of Al3+ with Co2+ cations. Consequently, CoAl2O4 lattice parameters increased, since the ionic radius of Al3+ (0.51 Å) less than Cο2+ (0.72 Å). Advantages of SCS catalysts in comparison with catalysts prepared by the traditional incipient wetness impregnation method in dry reforming of methane were shown. The aim of this work is to develop a new catalyst for the conversion of model biogas into synthesis gas, which will contribute to the organization of a new environmentally friendly, energy-saving production in the future.

A study on the synthesis of black powder (La2NiO4) material using the solution combustion synthesis method at a variation of synthesis temperature of 60, 70, and 80°C was carried out. It produces a mass of black powder of 2 grams by four times of synthesis process. Then, material characterization was performed on the black powder samples obtained by using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) to determine the phases formed, Scanning Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) to determine the morphology and analyze the composition elemental on the microscale and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) to determine chemical bonds. From the whole black powder sample, XRD analysis showed the phases of Dilantanum Nickel Tetraoxide (La2NiO4), Nickel Oxide (NiO), Lanthanum Oxide (La2O3), and Lanthanum Oxide Ht x-form (La2O3 Ht (x-form)). In addition, it was seen from the visible compositions of the phases that the NiO phase looks more dominant and the variation of the synthesis temperature shows that the La2O3 phase was increasing. This was supported by the EDS analysis, which showed that the EDS spectrum contains elements La, Ni, and O where the element O indicates that oxidation occurs in the elements Ni and La. On the other hand, the SEM analysis results confirm that the black powder sample contains the elements La and Ni, based on the high and low electron images contained in the morphology of the black powder sample. In addition, it was also known that the particles in the black powder sample were micron size and had porous morphology. This occurs due to rapid thermal decomposition events and excessive gas development. In addition, FTIR analysis showed that the O-H bond had been reduced and there are still C-O and C-H bonds indicating the presence of organic elements possessed by glycine.
