In this research, the aluminate spinel type materials, MAl2O4, are synthesised by solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method to investigate the effect of the element (M = Ca and Ba) on their structural, mainly crystallinity and optical properties. The characterisations are examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS). The XRD and FT-IR results showed the formation of the single-phase spinel structure of CaAl2O4 and BaAl2O4. The band gap energy was investigated using the Tauc method, and the obtained values were 3.93 eV and 3.77 eV for CaAl2O4 and BaAl2O4, respectively. The results showed a good agreement with the data as reported in the literature.

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.

The microwave assisted combustion synthesis (MACS) as a new, quick and low cost synthesis method was used for preparation of niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) powders. The present paper investigated the effect of reactant concentrations (ammonium niobium oxalate, urea and ammonium nitrate) on the characteristics of Nb2O5 nanoparticles. Three samples were synthesized with stoichiometric ratio between the fuel and oxidant (C1), excess of oxidant (C2) and excess of fuel (C3). In all samples, Nb2O5 crystalline nanoparticles with irregular morphology were detected. The synthesis of nanoparticles with smaller diameter in the C2 and C3 samples was confirmed by greater values of band gap energy measured through UV-Visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (indicating quantum confinement) and by the Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction patterns. The results showed that the amounts of oxidant and fuel can change synthesis temperature, influencing the final characteristics of the particles, such as size and existent phases. In these cases the excess of oxidant and fuel in the C2 and C3 samples, respectively, decreases the average synthesis temperature and decelerates the particle growth and the formation of the monoclinic phase.

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%.

Spinel LiMn2O4 powders were prepared by solution combustion synthesis using nitrate and acetate salts as raw materials and urea as fuel. The phase composition of as-synthesized powders was identified by XRD and the microscopic structure was examined by SEM. Single-phase spinel LiMn2O4 was prepared when acetate salts were used, and the incorporation of nitrate salts resulted in the formation of Mn2O3. The products consisted of slight agglomerations of fine particles with the size of 50-200nm. It was found that the addition of nitrate salts increased the reaction rate and the yield of LiMn2O4 was depressed when more nitrate salts were used as a reactant.

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.
