The vast majority of catalysts used in modern chemical industry are based on mixed metal
oxides. The preparation of specific tailor-made mixed oxides able to perform complex …

There is a widely‐held belief that the preparation of new solid‐state compounds based on
rational design is not possible. Herein, we present a concept that points the way towards a …

Molybdenum oxides (MoO y) exhibit quite interesting structural, chemical, electrical, optical
and electrochemical properties, which are often dependent on the synthetic procedures and …

We have demonstrated a systematic trend in the electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen
evolution reaction (HER) and its correlations with transition-metal type, structural order, and …

The origins of the metal-insulator and magnetic transitions exhibited by perovskite rare-earth
nickelates, R NiO 3 (where R is a rare-earth element), remain open issues, with charge …

The defect chemistry of foreign transition metals in perovskite oxides was investigated by
first-principles calculations with focus on Ni and Zn in Y-doped BaZrO3. Additional transition …

Pure, phosphated, and phosphonated CaO samples were prepared and characterized by X-
ray powder diffractometry, FTIR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy …

The fine details of the crystal structure of have been determined from a high-resolution
neutron diffraction study at room temperature. The powder sample, showing an excellent …

Metal sulfide and metal oxide alloys of the form Mo1–x W x S2 and Mo1–x W x O3 (0≤ x≤
1) are synthesized with varying nominal stoichiometries (x= 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.0) by …

Two kinds of oxygen-deficient phases around LaNiO 2.5 were obtained by a low-
temperature H 2 reduction of perovskite-type LaNiO 3. An antiferromagnetic LaNiO 2.5 with …
