AbstractThe purpose of this work was the synthesis of the perovskites with rare earth, by gel combustion method with pigmenting, magnetic and luminescent properties. The synthesis of perovskite structure is important for material development, with multi features. In this work, the synthesis was from metal oxides by the method of combustion of gels at 500 °C, for 10 s. Color of perovskites obtained, with nanometric particle size (31-44 nm) was analysed by CIEL*a*b* with tonalities ranged from white to pink except for Pr-perovskites with yellow and brown. Its paramagnetic properties were verified by magnetic susceptibility. Its luminescence was at 260 nm, except for Pr-perovskites. This work opens an important opportunity to develop ceramic pigments with perovskites structures integrating other properties as luminescence and paramagnetism by combustion sol-gel method.

In the present work materials alternative to Ni/YSZ cermets anodes for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) have been studied in order to overcome the problems related to catalytic deposition of carbon and the limited tolerance to sulphur. Anodes consisting of (La0.75Sr0.25)(Cr0.5Mn0.5)O3-δ (LSCM25) have been investigated with regard to synthesis and processing related problems. Single phase LSCM25 perovskites were synthesized by urea/nitrates gel combustion method and the as prepared powders were used to produce green tapes by tape casting processing. Thick LSCM25 substrates, suitable as anodes in anode supported SOFC fabrication, were successfully obtained by sintering of green LSCM25 laminates.

Thermoluminescence  properties of ultraviolet irradiated Y2O3:Eu3+, Gd2O3:Eu3+ and Gd2O3:Er3+ nanophosphors have been reported. The materials were synthesized by gel- combustion method with EDTA- Na2 as organic agent. This method allows production of very fine white powder at low temperature with very high efficiency. XRD has been studied to determine the structure of the prepared nano powders. The obtained materials exhibit sufficient sensibility to UV radiation and may be useful in UV light measurements.

Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2material with high rate capability was synthesized by a novel gel-combustion method using polyvinylpyrrolidone as a polymer chelating agent and a fuel. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were used to study the structure, morphology and element distribution of the Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2material. XRD analysis showed that all samples were α-NaFeO2structure and Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2prepared at 900 °C had the highest c/a of 4.977 indicating the highest layered-ness. EDS scan demonstrated that the precursor was homogeneous. SEM images indicated all samples were well crystallized. Charge and discharge tests showed all samples had good rate capability. Among them, Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2prepared at 900 °C had the highest capacity and the best rate capability. It delivered 162.1 mAh•g−1at 0.25 C between 2.5 and 4.3 V and the capacity retention was about 81% compared to that of 0.25C rate.

Sr4Si3O8Cl4:Eu2+blue-green phosphors were synthesized by the gel-combustion method. The as-synthesized phosphors were analyzed and characterized by X-ray diffraction and fluorescence spectrophotometer. The results indicate that orthorhombic phaseSr4Si3O8Cl4:Eu2+has been formed after the precursor calcined at 900°C reductive temperature. The excitation spectrum ofSr4Si3O8Cl4:Eu2+is a broad band in the range of 250 ~ 450 nm and the main peak at 324 nm. The emission spectrum is also a broad band with the main emission peak at about 484 nm, which is ascribed to the typical 4f5d1to 4f7transition ofEu2+. Moreover, the effects of the concentration ofEu2+, the reductive temperature, and the doping amount ofMg2+on luminescent properties were discussed.

In this paper, low temperature, economical sol–gel combustion method was adopted to synthesize wollastonite ceramic. Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate and tetraethyl orthosilicate were taken as source for Ca and Si, while citric acid and nitric acid were used as chelating/combustion agents. The yielded powder calcined at 600[Formula: see text]C for 4 h was characterized by FTIR, XRD and SEM techniques. Results showed that the citrate combustion method was the most efficient method to prepare wollastonite at low temperature. Moreover, in vitro bioactivity test performed in simulated body fluid (SBF) showed good bioactivity of synthesized wollastonite ceramics.
