MnCo spinel oxide catalysts were successfully synthesized by the calcination of bimetallic Mn/Co-MOFs as sacrificial templates. The derived catalysts exhibited optimal catalytic activity, reusability and thermal stability for toluene oxidation, which was ascribed to their large specific surface area, higher number of octahedral metal ions and the weakest metal-oxygen bonds.

Designing well-defined magnetic nanomaterials is crucial for various applications, and it demands a comprehensive understanding of their magnetic properties at the microscopic level. In this study, we investigate the contributions to the total anisotropy of Mn/Co mixed spinel nanoparticles. By employing neutron measurements sensitive to the spatially resolved surface anisotropy with sub-Å space resolution, we reveal an additional contribution to the anisotropy constant arising from shape anisotropy and interparticle interactions.

Alkaline water electrolysis is regarded as a promising technology for sustainable energy conversion. Spinel oxides have attracted considerable attention as potential catalysts because of their diverse metal valence states. However, achieving the required current densities at low voltages is a challenge due to its limited active sites and suboptimal electron transport.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have focused on enhancing ion diffusion channels in transition metal oxides for improving ammonium-ion batteries (AIBs) and analyzed how microstructural features affect NH storage and diffusion.
- By optimizing bond lengths in MnCoO spinel, they found that smaller channel sizes lead to reduced NH adsorption energy and faster hydrogen bond dynamics, facilitating NH movement.
- The modified MnCoO, combined with oxygen vacancies and carbon nanotubes, showed high specific capacity and impressive cycle stability, resulting in a full cell with excellent energy density and retention after multiple cycles.

In this study, we investigated the optoelectronic performance of magnesium spinel chromites with nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) substitutions. Using the sol-gel method, we synthesized two spinel chromites: MgNiCrO (MNCO) and MgCuCrO (MCCO). We extensively characterized these samples to analyze their thermal, structural, elastic, and optical properties.

Coupling hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR) with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has been widely concerned for high efficiency of green hydrogen preparation with low energy consumption. However, the lacking of bifunctional electrodes with ampere-level performance severely limits its industrialization. Herein, we put forward an efficient active site anchored strategy for MnCoO nanosheet arrays on nickel foam (NF) by introducing Pt species (denoted as Pt-MnCoO/NF), which is standing for excellent bifunctional electrodes.
