NanoMat@Lab, in the frame of the collaboration of Prof. Massimiliano D’Arienzo with the Prof. Simone Mascotto (University of Koblenz), Dr. Jacopo Orsilli (CNR-ESRF), Prof. Maria Goula (University of Western Macedonia), Dr. Cinzia Cepek and Dr. Enrico Berretti (CNR), recently reported on the redox behavior and exsolution kinetics of Ni and Fe in A-site-deficient Sr0.95Ti1−x+yFexNiyO3±δ, combining TPR, XAS, electron microscopy and EPR to elucidate dopant-specific contributions to defect chemistry and metal nucleation, as well as to the performance of co-doped perovskites in the RWGS reaction. Overall, the results indicate that the methodological approach developed here can be extended to other exsolvable dopants (e.g., Co), offering a pathway toward the rational design of exsolved catalysts with tunable structures and compositions for advanced energy-conversion applications.

NanoMat@Lab, in the frame of the collaboration of Prof. Barbara Di Credico with Pirelli Tyre, recently reported on the tailored preparation of SiO2 Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) by a masking approach with paraffin wax in water Pickering emulsions. The aim was to extend the applicability of the method to the modification of nanofillers, commonly employed in polymer composites. In detail, starting from micrometric silica, a procedure valid for particles of different sizes down to 30 nm was established for the first time. The NPs were functionalized on one hemisphere with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES), and the resulting APTES-JNPs were further modified with commercially available polymers. The polymer-JNPs show anisotropic characteristics that could impart interesting properties for different applications and could be further modified to create specific building blocks.
