In this critical review we consider the large literature that has accumulated in the past 5–10
years concerning solution-mediated crystallisation of complex oxide materials using …

The processes occurring during the early stages of the formation of crystalline solids are not
well understood thus preventing the rational synthesis of new solids. The investigation of the …

Perovskite ferroelectric nanowires have rarely been used for the conversion of tiny
mechanical vibrations into electricity, in spite of their large piezoelectricity. Here we present …

Single-phase cool white-light emitting BaNb2O6: Dy3+ phosphors have been synthesized
via a conventional solid-state reaction method and characterized using X-ray diffraction …

H2O2 is an environmentally friendly chemical for a wide range of water treatments. The
industrial production of H2O2 is an anthraquinone oxidation process, which, however …

Environmental contamination with radioactive ions that originate from, eg, tailings and heap
leaching residues of uranium mining (such as 226Ra ions), byproducts of nuclear fusions …

Perovskite oxides with general composition ABO3 are a large group of inorganic materials
that can contain a variety of cations from all parts of the Periodic Table and that have diverse …

Expanding the light-harvesting range and suppressing the quick recombination of
photogenerated charge carriers are of paramount significance in the field of photocatalysis …

Electrostatic capacitors with high power density have been demonstrated as efficient power
sources in modern electrical and electronic devices. Nevertheless, the low energy density …

Titanate nanofibers with two formulas, Na2Ti3O7 and Na1. 5H0. 5Ti3O7, respectively,
exhibit ideal properties for removal of radioactive and heavy metal ions in wastewater, such …
