Iron niobates, pure and substituted with copper (FeCuNbO with x = 0-0.15), were prepared by the solid-state method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and magnetic measurements. The results of the structural characterizations revealed the high solubility of Cu ions in the structure and better structural stability compared to the pure sample. The analysis of the magnetic properties showed that the antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic transition was caused by the insertion of Cu ions into the FeNbO structure. The pure FeNbO structure presented an antiferromagnetic ordering state, with a Néel temperature of approximately 36.81K. The increase in substitution promoted a change in the magnetic ordering, with the state passing to a weak ferromagnetic order with a transition temperature (T) higher than the ambient temperature. The origin of the ferromagnetic ordering could be attributed to the increase in super-exchange interactions between Fe/Cu ions in the Cu-O-Fe chains and the formation of bound magnetic polarons in the oxygen vacancies.

High capacity and outstanding rate performance of the FeNbO nanochain anode with both intercalation and conversion reactions for lithium-ion batteries are demonstrated. The unique one-dimensional structure and intercalation pseudocapacitive behavior of FeNbO accelerate the reaction kinetics. X-ray diffractometer measurement confirms a five-electron transfer mechanism for Li storage.

In this work, iron niobate (FeNbO) was prepared via two processes based on the sol-gel method: colloidal gel and polymeric gel. The obtained powders were submitted to heat treatments at different temperatures based on the results obtained via differential thermal analysis. The structures of the prepared samples were characterized via X-ray diffraction and the morphology was characterized via scanning electron microscopy.

ABO-type materials have shown significant potential for applications as luminescence and photocatalytic materials, and the orthorhombic FeNbO (-FeNbO) material has also shown excellent promise in catalytic electrodes, unlike other common ABO materials. However, little computational work has been carried out on the -FeNbO structure, potentially because it is disordered and thus not straightforward to simulate. In this work, we first confirmed the accuracy of the force field parameters obtained from previous studies through optimizations carried out using the GULP code.
