SrFexCo0.5Oδ(x=0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25) mixed metal oxides were synthesized by the citrate method. The structure and thermo-chemical stability of the obtained SrFexCo0.5Oδpowders were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD results show that the SrFexCo0.5Oδpowders are composed of perovskite-type cubic structure at both room temperature and high temperature. The crystalline phases of the SrFexCo0.5Oδpowders are dependent on the content of Fe and SrFe0.5Co0.5O3, SrFe0.19Co081O2.78are the main crystalline phases. The powders have good thermo-chemical stability at elevated temperatures in helium, which is confirmed by an in-situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction. The SEM images show that the product of the SrFexCo0.5Oδ(x=0.5, 1.0) is composed of single grain, while other two samples consist of layer structures and some open porosities.

ABSTRACTExperiments are described showing the utility of synchrotron-based time-resolved x-ray diffraction (TR-XRD) and x-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) for characterizing the physical and chemical properties of mixed-metal oxides that contain Mo and a second transition metal (Fe, Co or Ni). TR-XRD was used to study the transformations that occur during the heating of a FeMoO4/Fe2(MoO4)3 mixture and the α⇒β phase transitions in CoMoO4 and NiMoO4. The Mo LII- and O K-edges in XANES are very useful for probing the local symmetry of Mo atoms in mixed-metal oxides. The results of XANES and density-functional calculations (DMo13, DFT-GGA) show large changes in the splitting of the empty Mo 4d levels when going from tetrahedral to octahedral coordinations. XANES is very useful for studying the reaction of H2, H2S and SO2 with the mixed-metal oxides. Measurements at the S K-edge allow a clear identification of S, SO2, SO3 or SO4 on the oxide surfaces. Changes in the oxidation state of molybdenum produce substantial shifts in the position of the Mo LII- and MIII-edges.

Properties of nanoscale materials are very interesting and these are either comparable to or superior to those of bulk. These materials are interesting due to their exciting size dependent optical, electronic, magnetic, thermal, mechanical and chemical properties. Different mole ratios of nanostructured mixed metal oxides of LaCo x Fe 1-x O 3-δ (x = 0 to 1) were prepared by the sol–gel method by varying the mole ratios of iron and cobalt substrates. The compounds were sintered for 700°C in the tubular furnace for 8 h. The purity of the compounds was analyzed by TG-DTA. The compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies were employed to study the structural phases, vibrational frequencies, surface morphology of the highest humidity sensing compounds.

The transesterification of edible and non-edible oils to produce biodiesel is traditionally carried out using homogeneous catalysts (such as NaOH, KOH, and H2SO4). However, these homogenous catalysts often suffer from multiple drawbacks including their corrosive nature and solubility in the reaction mixture, and high costs associated with their recovery. Recent studies have shown that heterogeneous catalysts based on mixed metal oxides have the potential to address the issues associated with conventional homogeneous catalysts, thereby emerging as an efficient class of catalyst materials for biodiesel production. In this study, we describe a heterogeneous strontium oxide/calcium oxide (SrO-CaO) mixed metal oxides catalyst, which displays remarkable efficiency towards the ultrasonic-assisted transesterification of Jatropha oil into biodiesel. The SrO-CaO heterogeneous catalyst was prepared by the wet impregnation method, and the structural morphology of the as-synthesized catalyst was revealed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and nitrogen sorption technique coupled with the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller and Barrett–Joyner–Halenda methods. The X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the cubic structure of the SrO-CaO catalyst. The catalytic activity of this newly developed catalyst showed a high percentage conversion of triglyceride into the corresponding fatty acid methyl esters (98.19 %) as confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The chemical composition of the prepared biodiesel by this ultrasonic-assisted transesterification process was determined by the gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Five major fatty acid methyl esters were identified, of which 9-octadecenoic acid methyl ester was obtained with the highest percentage ~38.22 %. Hence, the study reveals that the SrO-CaO catalyst exhibits high efficiency towards converting Jatropha oil into biodiesel by ultrasonic-assisted transesterification.

Mg-Fe layered double hydroxides were synthesized by the coprecipitation method with different of Mg/Fe ratio (2/1, 3/1 and 4/1) and then were thermally transformed into mixed metal oxides. The obtained materials before and after the calcination at 450 oC were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, BET, TGA, ICP. The samples were used as a catalyst for Friedel-Crafts benzoylation reactions. The catalyst can be easily separated and recycled compared to the traditional one.

AbstractHigh-temperature X-ray diffraction techniques were employed to study the condensation reactions which occur when sodium orthophosphates are heated to 380°C. Crystalline Na4P2O7 and an amorphous phase were formed first from an equimolar mixture of Na2HPO4·NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4 at temperatures above 150°C. Further heating resulted in the formation of Na5P3O10-I (high-temperature form) at the expense of the crystalline Na4P4O7 and amorphous phase. Crystalline Na5P3O10-II (low-temperature form) appears after Na5P3O10-I.Conditions which affect the yield of crystalline Na4P2O7 and amorphous phase as intermediates and their effect on the yield of Na5P3O10 are also presented.

The basic building units of brownmillerite-type A 2 B 2O5 structures are perovskite-like layers of corner-sharing BO6 octahedra and zweier single chains of BO4 tetrahedra. A three-dimensional framework is formed by alternate stacking of octahedral layers and sheets of tetrahedral chains. The compound Ca2Fe2O5 is known to have Pnma symmetry at ambient conditions. The space group Imma was reported to be evident above 963 K. New high-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments at 1100 K revealed that Ca2Fe2O5 forms an incommensurately modulated structure adopting the superspace group Imma(00γ)s00, with γ = 0.588 (2). The modulation affects the sequence of the enantiomorphic (right- and left-handed) oriented tetrahedral chains within the layer, breaking the lattice periodicity along c. This ordering can be modelled with crenel occupation modulation functions for the tetrahedrally coordinated Fe, as well as for the O atom interconnecting the tetrahedra.
