Electrochemical water splitting is considered a promising way of producing hydrogen and oxygen for various electrochemical energy devices. An efficient single, bi-functional electrocatalyst that can perform hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs) and oxygen evolution reactions (OERs) is highly essential. In this work, Co@NC core-shell nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple, eco-friendly, solid-state synthesis process, using cobalt nitrate and with pyrazole as the N and C source. The morphological analysis of the resulting Co@NC nanoparticles was performed with a scanning and transmission electron microscope, which showed Co nanoparticles as the core and the pyrolysis of pyrazole organic ligand N-doped carbon derived shell structure. The unique Co@NC nanostructures had excellent redox sites for electrocatalysis, wherein the N-doped carbon shell exhibited superior electronic conductivity in the Co@NC catalyst. The resulting Co@NC nanocatalyst showed considerable HER and OER activity in an alkaline medium. The Co@NC catalyst exhibited HERs overpotentials of 243 and 170 mV at 10 mA∙cm−2 on glassy carbon and Ni foam electrodes, respectively, whereas OERs were exhibited overpotentials of 450 and 452 mV at a current density of 10 and 50 mA∙cm−2 on glassy carbon electrode and Ni foam, respectively. Moreover, the Co@NC catalyst also showed admirable durability for OERs in an alkaline medium.

Single phase YIG powders were synthesized successfully using Fe2O3 and Y2O3 as starting materials by solid state reaction, and YIG ceramics were prepared by pressureless sintering. The influence of synthesizing temperature and Fe2O3 content on the final production were studied The effect of Fe2O3 content on volume density and microstructure of the sintered YIG was also investigated. The results showed that single phase YIG powders were synthesized by solid state reaction at 1400°C for 3h. When Fe2O3 content was excessive 3 wt%, YIG ceramics with a density of 5.294g·cm-3 was fabricated by sintering at 1480°C for 2.5h.

ABSTRACTSr-substituted perovskite LaCo0.4Fe0.6O3 is known to have excellent mixed ionic and electronic conductivity and increased O2 sorption characteristics. These perovskites are usually prepared by lengthy solid-state reactions of the component oxides at temperatures near 1150°C, and often produce inhomogeneous, multi-phase powders. Presently, it has been prepared by the calcination of combustion-derived fine mixed oxides at 850°C in 6 hrs. Combustion reactions are carried out using precursor solutions containing the corresponding metal nitrates (oxidizers) and glycine (fuel) at 250°C. The metal oxides produced by this process and subsequent calcination were characterized by XRD, TEM and BET surface area analysis.

The biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) concept was introduced to overcome disadvantages of single phase biomaterials. In this study, we prepared BCP from nanoHA and β-TCP that were synthesized via a solid state reaction. Three different ratios of pure BCP and collagen-based BCP scaffolds (%HA/%β-TCP; 30/70, 40/60 and 50/50) were produced using a polymeric sponge method. Physical and mechanical properties of all materials and scaffolds were investigated. XRD pattern proved the purity of each HA, β-TCP and BCP. SEM showed overall distribution of macropores (80-200 µm) with appropriate interconnected porosities. Total porosity of pure BCP (93% ± 2) was found to be higher than collagen-based BCP (85%± 3). It was observed that dimensional shrinkage of larger scaffold (39% ± 4) is lower than smaller one (42% ± 5) and scaffolds with higher HA (50%) ratio experienced greater shrinkage than those with higher β-TCP (70%) ratio (45% ±3 and 36% ±1 respectively). Mechanical properties of both groups tend to be very low and collagen coating had no influence on mechanical behavior. Further studies may improve the physical properties of these composite BCP.
