Spinel LiMn 2 O 4 was synthesized by a modified solid state reaction. We pretreated the reactants using tartaric acid as complexing agent through a grinding process to obtain uniform distribution of metal ions at atomic level. The structures, morphologies and electrochemical properties of the products were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and galvanostatic charge-discharge test. The results show that adding tartaric acid during the chemical pretreatment plays an important role in the formation of regular and uniform particles, which is beneficial to the electrochemical performance of LiMn 2 O 4. At the current density of 100 mA g-1, the discharge capacity is 118 mAh g-1 after 50 cycles with the capacity retention of 97%.

Spinel LiMn2O4 was prepared by solid state reaction from composite carbonate precursors Li2CO3 and MnCO3, which were obtained by coprecipitation method. The physicochemical properties of spinel LiMn2O4and its precursor were investigated by simultaneous thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micrographs (SEM) and galvanostatic charge-discharge test, respectively. The carbonate precursors demonstrate the porous spherical flower-like morphology, and spinel LiMn2O4shows the rod or rod clusters-like one with different particle sizes. The spinel LiMn2O4prepared from composite carbonate precursors delivers an initial discharge capacity of 115 mAh/g with excellent capacity retention, indicating an attractive application in the high-power lithium-ion batteries.

In the present work, strontium iron niobate SrFe0.5Nb0.5O3 ceramics doped with aluminum were synthesized by a solid-state reaction technique. Phase formation investigation by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD) revealed that all ceramics exhibited pure perovskite phase with orthorhombic symmetry. Grain size observed by electron microscopy (SEM) was found to increase with increasing sintering temperature. The electrical properties and related parameters of the ceramics were also measured. The ceramics exhibit very good dielectric behavior and have a significant potential for dielectric applications.

As a new candidate material for the ceramic layer in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) system, La3NbO7 was synthesized with La2O3 powder and Nb2O5 powder by solid state reaction. The stating powders with a mole ratio of La to Nb of 3:1 were mixed and then the mixture was calcined under the different temperatures(800°C, 1000°C, 1200°C) and dwell times(2h, 6h, 10h). The phase structure of the powder was observed by X–ray diffraction(XRD), and the microstructure of the sample was observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM). The effect of calcination temperature and dwell Time on the phase formation were examined. The results indicate that the La3NbO7 powder with single phase can be synthesized successfully at 1200°C for 10h in air, and the La3NbOsub>7 powders synthesized have an ultra-fine particle size of 0.5˜1µm with a granular particle shape. With the temperature increasing, LaNbO4/sub> was synthesized firstly and then La3NbO7 was synthesized with a mole ratio of La2O3 to LaNbO4 of 1:1.

The paper is focused on one of the most important component of Portland clinker-on the tricalcium silicate. The study reported in this article is focuses on the changes in crystallite size of synthetic tricalcium silicate obtained using solid state reaction method. Crystallite size changes are monitored during the grinding in three types of laboratory mills in two different conditions. Changing in crystallite size at various grinding time up to 120 minutes are studied with the aid of X-ray diffraction and using the Scherrer equation. It has been found that the most efficient laboratory mill in terms of speed and fineness of the material was the planetary mill.

The lithium-cobalt oxide LixCoO2 is a promising candidate as highly active cathode material of lithium ion rechargeable batteries. The crystalline-layered lithium cobaltite has attracted increased attention due to recent discoveries of some extraordinary properties such as unconventional transport and magnetic properties. Due to layered crystal structure, Li contents (x) in LixCoO2 might play an important role on its interesting properties. LiCoO2 crystalline cathode material was prepared by using solid-state reaction synthesis, and then LixCoO2 (x<1) has been synthesized by deintercalation of produced single-phase powders. Structure and morphology of the synthesized powders were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Infrared spectroscopy, Impedance analyzer etc. The influence of lithium composition (x) on structural, electronic and optical properties of lithium cobaltite was studied. Temperature dependent electrical resistivity was measured using four-probe technique. While LixCoO2 with x = 0.9 is a semiconductor, the highly Li-deficient phase (0.75 ? x ? 0.5) exhibits metallic conductivity. The ionic conductivity of LixCoO2 (x = 0.5 – 1.15) was measured using impedance spectroscopy and maximum conductivity of Li0.5CoO2 was found to be 6.5×10-6 S/cm at 273 K. The properties that are important for applications, such as ionic conductivity, charge capacity, and optical absorption are observed to increase with Li deficiency.

The high temperature superconductor’s compounds are one of the hot spot field of science, due to their applications in industries. Hg0.8Sb0.2Ba2Ca2Cu3O8+δ and Hg0.8Sb0.2Ba2Ca1Cu2O6+δ, were manufactured using a doable-step of solid state reaction method. The samples were sintered at 800 ° C. The transition temperatures Tc are found from electrically resistively by using four probe techniques. The resistivity become zero when the transition temperature Tc(offset) have 131 and 119 K, and the onset temperature Tc(onset) have 139 K for Hg0.8Sb0.2Ba2Ca2Cu3O8+δ and 132 K for Hg0.8Sb0.2Ba2Ca1Cu2O6+δ. Analysis of X-ray diffraction showed a tetragonal structure with lattice parameters changes for all samples.

The synthesis of strontium metastannate (SrSnO3) has been performed by coupling mechanical activation with thermal activation of SnC2O4-SrCO3 mixtures. The solid-state reaction has been studied by TG-DSC analysis and powder X-ray diffraction. By annealing experiments performed on physical mixtures (no mechanical activation) it has been assessed that the formation of SrSnO3 occurs through the intermediate Sr2SnO4 and is complete only after annealing at 1400 °C. By performing the annealing experiments on activated mixtures it has been established that the formation of SrSnO3 takes place directly at temperatures between 800 and 1000 °C. The SrSnO3 samples obtained at 800 and 900 °C show, by TG analysis, mass loss processes that suggest that SrSnO3 obtained at these temperatures absorbs H2O and CO2 from the air so that its use as gas sensor can be envisaged. This is no longer true for the sample obtained at 1000 °C or above
