Over the past decade, one of main challenges in industry concerns reusing/recycling wastewater, mainly due to its high treatment cost and complexity. The integration waste-to-hydrogen strategy proposes a potential revalorization waste into value-added products towards circular economy model. Integrating industrial wastewater (IWW) electrolysis supply chain potentially represents sustainable approach for H2 production treatment. This critical review analyses current status evaluates variables...
Abstract Cation ordering in ABO 3 perovskites adds to their chemical variety and can lead properties such as ferrimagnetism magnetoresistance Sr 2 FeMoO 6 . Through high‐pressure high‐temperature synthesis, a new type of “double double perovskite” structure has been discovered the family MnRMnSbO (R=La, Pr, Nd, Sm). This tetragonal 1:1 order cations on both A B sites, with A‐site Mn 2+ R 3+ ordered columns Sb 5+ having rock salt sites. The are ferrimagnetic at low temperatures additional...

We report the magnetic properties and structure of zircon-type compound ${\mathrm{GdVO}}_{4}$, together with isostructural ${\mathrm{NdVO}}_{4}$. At $T\ensuremath{\simeq}2.5$ K, ${\mathrm{GdVO}}_{4}$ undergoes a phase transition to antiferromagnetic ${G}_{z}$, driven mainly by exchange interactions, while anisotropy dipolar interactions are minor contributions. Near liquid-helium boiling temperature, magnetocaloric effect is nearly as large that structurally closely related...
Perovskite oxides, with an ABO3 general formula, have attracted much attention as effective peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activators because of their composition adjustability and chemical stability.
