The purpose of this study was to use a spinel structure to improve the performance and stability of chemical looping combustion processes. The oxygen carrier employed was Fe2MnO4, in which Ni was substituted at the Fe sites. Fe2-xNixMnO4 spinel particles were successfully synthesized by a sol-gel method.

Layered perovskite SrTiO photocatalyst was synthesized by using sol-gel method with citric acid. In order to increase the surface area of layered perovskite SrTiO, and thus to improve its photocatalytic activity for CO reduction, its surface was modified via hydrogen treatment or exfoliation. The physical and chemical properties of the prepared catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, elemental mapping analysis, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, N adsorption-desorption, UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and electrophoretic light scattering.
