Abstract:
We successfully demonstrated the effect of a membrane reactor for methanol synthesis to improve one-pass CO2 conversion. An Si-rich LTA membrane for dehydration from a methanol synthesis reaction field was synthesized by the seed-assisted hydrothermal synthesis method. The H2O permselective performance of the membrane showed 1.5 × 10−6 mol m−2 s−1 Pa−1 as H2O permeance and around 2000 as selectivity of H2O/MeOH at 473 K. From the results of membrane reactor tests, the CO2 conversion of the membrane reactor was higher than that of the conventional packed-bed reactor under the all of experimental conditions. Especially, at 4 MPa of reaction pressure, the conversion using the membrane reactor was around 60%. In the case of using a packed-bed reactor, the conversion was 20% under the same conditions. In addition, the calculated and experimental conversion were in good agreement in both the case of the membrane reactor and packed-bed reactor.

Abstract:
The process of ammonia oxyethylation was studied in a microchannel reactor at wide ranges of temperature (70–180 °C) and contact time (0.47–3.3 min). Monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), and the target triethanolamine (TEA) were the main products of the reaction between ethylene oxide (EO) and ammonia. The EO conversion was shown to increase with lengthening contact time (τ), it being 90 % at τ = 3.3 min. The highest selectivity to MEA and DEA was observed at 70 °C and τ = 3.3 min. A high selectivity to TEA (84 %) was reached at short τ (0.47 min) and maximal temperature (180 °C). The yield of TEA increased as temperature was elevated and contact time lengthened to reach 62 % at τ = 3.3 min and 155–180 °C. Mathematical modeling of the process allowed kinetic constants of individual stages to be calculated. The difference between the calculated and literature kinetic parameters could be accounted for by the specific features of the microchannel reactor providing, unlike traditional reactors for synthesis of triethanolamine, high heat and mass transfer.

Abstract:
Water-selective membrane reactors are proposed in the literature to improve methanol yield for a standalone reactor. However, the methanol productivity is not a precise metric to show the system improvement since, with this approach, we do not consider the amount of energy loss through the undesirable co-permeation of H2, which could otherwise remain on the reaction side at high pressure. In other words, the effectiveness of this new technology should be evaluated at a process flowsheet level to assess its advantages and disadvantages on the overall system performance and, more importantly, to identify the minimum required properties of the membrane. Therefore, an equation-based model for a membrane reactor, developed in Aspen Custom Modeler, was incorporated within the process flowsheet of the methanol plant to develop an integrated process framework to conduct the investigation. We determined the upper limit of the power-saving at 32% by exploring the favorable conditions wherein a conceptual water selective membrane reactor proves more effective. Using these suboptimal conditions, we realized that the minimum required H2O/H2 selectivity is 190 and 970 based on the exergy analysis and overall power requirement, respectively. According to our results, the permselectivity of membranes synthesized for this application in the literature, showing improvements in the one-pass conversion, is well below the minimum requirement when the overall methanol synthesis process flowsheet comes into consideration.

Abstract:
Chemical looping gasification (CLG) is a novel gasification technique, allowing for the production of a nitrogen-free high calorific synthesis gas from solid hydrocarbon feedstocks, without requiring a costly air separation unit. Initial advances to better understand the CLG technology were made during first studies in lab and bench scale units and through basic process simulations. Yet, tailored process control strategies are required for larger CLG units, which are not equipped with auxiliary heating. Here, it becomes a demanding task to achieve autothermal CLG operation, for which stable reactor temperatures are obtained. This study presents two avenues to attain autothermal CLG behavior, established through equilibrium based process simulations. As a first approach, the dilution of active oxygen carrier materials with inert heat carriers to limit oxygen transport to the fuel reactor has been investigated. Secondly, the suitability of restricting the air flow to the air reactor in order to control the oxygen availability in the fuel reactor was examined. Process simulations show that both process control approaches facilitate controlled and de-coupled heat and oxygen transport between the two reactors of the chemical looping gasifier, thus allowing for efficient autothermal CLG operation. With the aim of inferring general guidelines on how CLG units have to be operated in order to achieve decent synthesis gas yields, different advantages and disadvantages associated to the two suggested process control strategies are discussed in detail and optimization avenues are presented.

Abstract:
Silver nanowires (AgNWs) have a broad range of applications including nanoelectronics, energy conversion, health care, solar cells, touch screens, sensors and biosensors, wearable electronics, and drug delivery systems. As their characteristics depend strongly on their size and morphology, it is essential to find the optimal and most cost-effective synthesis method with precise control over the size and morphology of the wires. Various methods for AgNW synthesis have been reported along with process optimization and novel techniques to increase the yield and aspect ratios of synthesized AgNWs. The most promising processes for synthesis of AgNWs are wet chemical techniques, in which the polyol process is low cost and simple and provides high yield compared to other chemical methods. Reaction mechanism is one of the most important factors in strategies to control the process. Our purpose here is to provide an overview on the main findings regarding synthesis, preparation, and characterization of AgNWs. Recent efforts in the polyol synthesis of AgNWs are summarized with respect to product morphology and size, reaction conditions, and characterization techniques. The effect of essential factors such as reagent concentration and preparation, temperature, and reaction atmosphere that control the size, morphology, and yield of synthesized AgNWs is reviewed. Moreover, a review on the novel modified polyol process and reactor design such as continuous millifluidic and flow reactors to increase the yield of synthesized AgNWs on large scales is provided. The most recent proposed growth mechanisms and kinetics behind the polyol process are addressed. Finally, comparatively few available studies in green and sustainable development of 1D silver nanostructures through the application of natural products with inherent growth termination, stabilization, and capping characteristics are reviewed to provide an avenue to natural synthesis pathways to AgNWs. Future directions in both chemical and green synthesis approaches of AgNWs are addressed.

Abstract:
A systematic study was made on the synthesis of nanocalcite using a hydrodynamic cavitation reactor. The effects of various parameters such as diameter and geometry of orifice,CO2flow rate, andCa(OH)2concentration were investigated. It was observed that the orifice diameter and its geometry had significant effect on the carbonation process. The reaction rate was significantly faster than that observed in a conventional carbonation process. The particle size was significantly affected by the reactor geometry. The results showed that an orifice with 5 holes of 1 mm size resulted in the particle size reduction to 37 nm. The experimental investigation reveals that hydrodynamic cavitation may be more energy efficient.

The reaction was carried out in a SHS reactor under static argon gas at a pressure of 0.5 MPa. The standard Gibbs energy minimization method was used to calculate the equilibrium composition of the reacting species. The effects of carbon mole ratio in precursor mixture and diluents of NaCl and Al2O3 on the Al2O3-WC conversion were investigated using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope technique. The as-synthesized products of Al2O3-WC2-WC powders were concurrently formed and the reduction of W2C phase was found when added diluents in precursors.

Abstract:
The problem of analytical synthesis of synergetic control system of chemical reactor for realization of a complex series–parallel exothermal reaction has been solved. The synthesis of control principles is performed using the analytical design method of aggregated regulators. A chemical reactor is one of the common apparatuses in chemical industry. Despite a large number of the works related to automation and control of chemical reactors, the problem of synthesizing control systems that provide the maintenance of optimal modes of their operation remains practically unsolved. This is related to the principal feature of chemical reactors as controlled objects, namely, manifold, non-linearity, and multi-coupling. An outcome from this situation is to develop a physical theory of control, in particular synergetic control theory. The use of synergism ideas in the problems of control assumes the development and realization of a method of directed target self-organization of dissipative non-linear systems “object-regulator”. Furthermore, the aim of the motion of a system is formulated as the desired invariant manifold in a phase space of the object, which acts as a target attractor. The paper deals with continuous stirred tank reactor equipped with a mechanical stirrer and cooling jacket. The reactor operates in the polytropic mode. The multistep series-parallel exothermic process is carried out in the reactor. The objective of chemical reactor operation is to obtain the key product of specified concentration. The aim of chemical reactor control system is to maintain both concentration of desired product and temperature of reaction mixture in the device at the given values under the action of disturbances on the object. Using the analytical design method of aggregated regulators on the basis of parallel-series combination of invariant manifolds, a non-linear control algorithm was synthesized, which solves the problem of stabilization of the concentration of the target component and mixture temperature. Computer simulation of the object–regulator isolated system confirmed these properties of synthesized control system as the disturbance invariance, covariance to the given actions, and asymptotic stability. These facts make synergetic control theory very promising for application for such complex, manifold, and nonlinear objects of chemical engineering as chemical reactors.

Abstract:
Hydrogen peroxide is an important chemical of increasing demand in today’s world. Currently, the anthraquinone autoxidation process dominates the industrial production of hydrogen peroxide. Herein, hydrogen and oxygen are reacted indirectly in the presence of quinones to yield hydrogen peroxide. Owing to the complexity and multi-step nature of the process, it is advantageous to replace the process with an easier and straightforward one. The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from its constituent reagents is an effective and clean route to achieve this goal. Factors such as water formation due to thermodynamics, explosion risk, and the stability of the hydrogen peroxide produced hinder the applicability of this process at an industrial level. Currently, the catalysis for the direct synthesis reaction is palladium based and the research into finding an effective and active catalyst has been ongoing for more than a century now. Palladium in its pure form, or alloyed with certain metals, are some of the new generation of catalysts that are extensively researched. Additionally, to prevent the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water, the process is stabilized by adding certain promoters such as mineral acids and halides. A major part of today’s research in this field focusses on the reactor and the mode of operation required for synthesizing hydrogen peroxide. The emergence of microreactor technology has helped in setting up this synthesis in a continuous mode, which could possibly replace the anthraquinone process in the near future. This review will focus on the recent findings of the scientific community in terms of reaction engineering, catalyst and reactor design in the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract:
The synthesis of high-quality monodispersed nanocrystal is very important. Typical synthetic method is rapid nucleation by injection of an organometallic precursor into a solvent maintaining the reaction temperature. Since these methods are discontinuous processes, they are not efficient for large-scale production of monodisperse nanocrystals. In this study, continuous microchannel reaction technique is presented for synthesis of monodisperse lead selenide nanocrystals in a diphenyl ether as high-temperature organic media. The microchannel reactor was used due to its possibility of continuous process and reproducibility of narrow size distribution in nanocrystal synthesis. The synthesis was carried out in microchannel reactor (800 μm diameter) made from PTFE. Lead oleate and TOP-Se were used as organic precursor and diphenyl ether as high-temperature organic solvents. Lead selenide particles with a size of less than 10nm could be continuously prepared by this method. The nanocrystals have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, TEM and optical absorption spectrometer.

Abstract:
The water-gas shift (WGS) is one of the major steps for H2 production from gaseous, liquid and solid hydrocarbons. It is used to produce hydrogen for ammonia synthesis, to adjust the hydrogen-to-carbon monoxide ratio of synthesis gas, to detoxify gases. The WGS reactor is widely used as a part of fuel processors which produce hydrogen-rich stream from hydrocarbon-based fuels in a multi-step process. The WGS unit is placed downstream the fuel reformer in order to increase overall efficiency of hydrogen production and to lower CO content in reformate. Fuel processors stand for considerable option for fuelling PEM fuel cells for both portable and stationary applications. Micro-structured reactors are used with benefits of process miniaturization, intensification and higher heat and mass transfer rates compared with conventional reactors. Micro-structured reactor systems are essential for processes where potential for considerable heat transfer exists as well as for kinetic studies of highly exothermic reactions at near-isothermal conditions. Modelling and simulation of a microchannel reactor for the WGS reaction is presented. The mathematical models concern a single reaction channel with porous layer of catalyst deposited on the metallic wall of the microstructure unit. Simplified one-phase and more sophisticated two-phase models, with separate mass and energy balances for gas and solid phase at different levels of complexity, were developed. The models were implemented into gPROMS process modelling software. The models were used for an estimation of parameters in a kinetic expression using experimental data obtained with a new WGS catalyst. The simulations provide detailed information about the composition and temperature distribution in gas phase and solid catalyst inside the channel.

This article introduces a novel laboratory-scale process for the electrochemical synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The process aims at an energy-efficient, decentralized production, and a mathematical optimization of it is presented. A dynamic, zero-dimensional mathematical model of the reactor is set up in Aspen custom modeler®. The proposed model constitutes a reasonable compromise between complexity and convergence. After thoroughly determining the reaction kinetics by adjustment to experimental data, the reactor unit is embedded in an Aspen Plus® flowsheet in order to investigate its interaction with other unit operations. The downstream contains another custom module for membrane distillation. Electricity appears as a resource in the process, and optimization shows that it reaches product purities of up to 3 wt.-%. Both the process optimization and the adjustment of the reaction kinetics are treated as multi-criteria optimization (MCO) problems.

Abstract:
The oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of butene has been recently developed as a viable alternative for the synthesis of 1,3-butadiene due to its advantages over other conventional methods. Various catalytic reactors for this process have been previously studied, albeit with a focus on lab-scale design. In this study, a multi-tubular reactor model for the butadiene synthesis via ODH of butene was developed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). For this, the 3D multi-tubular model, which combines complex reaction kinetics with a shell-side coolant fluid over a series of individual reactor tubes, was generated using OpenFOAM®. Then, the developed model was validated and analyzed with the experimental results, which gave a maximum error of 7.5%. Finally, parametric studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of thermodynamic conditions (isothermal, non-isothermal and adiabatic), feed temperature, and gas velocity on reactor performance. The results showed the formation of a hotspot at the reactor exit, which necessitates an efficient temperature control at that section of the reactor. It was also found that as the temperature increased, the conversion and yield increased whilst the selectivity decreased. The converse was found for increasing velocities.

Abstract:
Mechanochemical approaches to chemical synthesis offer the promise of improved yields, new reaction pathways and greener syntheses. Scaling these syntheses is a crucial step toward realizing a commercially viable process. Although much work has been performed on laboratory-scale investigations little has been done to move these approaches toward industrially relevant scales. Moving reactions from shaker-type mills and planetary-type mills to scalable solutions can present a challenge. We have investigated scalability through discrete element models, thermal monitoring and reactor design. We have found that impact forces and macroscopic mixing are important factors in implementing a truly scalable process. These observations have allowed us to scale reactions from a few grams to several hundred grams and we have successfully implemented scalable solutions for the mechanocatalytic conversion of cellulose to value-added compounds and the synthesis of edge functionalized graphene.

Abstract:
Synthetic fuels play an important role in the defossilization of future aviation transport. To reduce the ecological impact of remote airports due to the long-range transportation of kerosene, decentralized on-site production of synthetic paraffinic kerosene is applicable, preferably as a near-drop-in fuel or, alternatively, as a blend. One possible solution for such a production of synthetic kerosene is the power-to-liquid process. We describe the basic development of a simplified plant layout addressing the specific challenges of decentralized kerosene production that differs from most of the current approaches for infrastructural well-connected regions. The decisive influence of the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis on the power-to-liquid (PtL) process is shown by means of a steady-state reactor model, which was developed in Python and serves as a basis for the further development of a modular environment able to represent entire process chains. The reactor model is based on reaction kinetics according to the current literature. The effects of adjustments of the main operation parameters on the reactor behavior were evaluated, and the impacts on the up- and downstream processes are described. The results prove the governing influence of the Fischer–Tropsch reactor on the PtL process and show its flexibility regarding the desired product fraction output, which makes it an appropriate solution for decentralized kerosene production.

Abstract:
Wax esters are high value-added products and widely used in a broad range of commercial fields. The enzymatic synthesis of wax ester from plant oil is more attractive than the traditional chemical method due to being environmental-friendly and limiting the use of hazardous chemicals. However, the high mass transfer resistance from the high viscous substrate leads to a low conversion and long reaction time in the continues stirred tank reactor (CSTR). The rotating packed bed reactor (RPBR) offers high mass transfer and can be used to enhance the enzymatic wax ester synthesis process. From the results, it could be concluded that the mass transfer was enhanced with the optimization of the centrifugal factor of the RPBR. Under the optimal process conditions, the wax ester yield of 96.4% was obtained after 4 hours reaction, and the half-life of the catalyst corresponded with 64 hours, while nine batches achieved of yields above 90%. The investigation proved that the RPBR is an attractive and effective reactor for heterogeneous bio-catalysis in high viscosity of 7.39~12.27 Cst at 40 °C.

Catalytic dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene charge in a two-stage continuous-action adiabatic reactor is the main stage of the styrene production process. The analysis of this technological process existing automated control systems revealed the following main drawback, that these systems require great efforts from production personnel to ensure a change of the reactor temperature regime in the stages of the reactor in accordance with styrene concentration drop, which is caused by deactivation catalytic layer deactivation. Therefore, the synthesis of the target product concentration at the reactor outlet predictive control system is actual task in the field of technical cybernetics.

Abstract:
We present an electrochemical microsensor for the monitoring of hydrogen peroxide direct synthesis in a membrane microreactor environment by measuring the hydrogen peroxide and oxygen concentrations. In prior work, for the first time, we performed in situ measurements with electrochemical microsensors in a microreactor setup. However, the sensors used were only able to measure at the bottom of the microchannel. Therefore, only a limited assessment of the gas distribution and concentration change over the reaction channel dimensions was possible because the dissolved gases entered the reactor through a membrane at the top of the channel. In this work, we developed a new fabrication process to allow the sensor wires, with electrodes at the tip, to protrude from the sensor housing into the reactor channel. This enables measurements not only at the channel bottom, but also along the vertical axis within the channel, between the channel wall and membrane. The new sensor design was integrated into a multiphase microreactor and calibrated for oxygen and hydrogen peroxide measurements. The importance of measurements in three dimensions was demonstrated by the detection of strongly increased gas concentrations towards the membrane, in contrast to measurements at the channel bottom. These findings allow a better understanding of the analyte distribution and diffusion processes in the microreactor channel as the basis for process control of the synthesis reaction.

Abstract:
In recent years, various modular micro channel reactors have been developed to overcome limitations in challenging chemical reactions. Direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from hydrogen and oxygen is a very interesting process in this regard. However, the complex triphasic process (gaseous reactants, reaction in liquid solvent, solid catalyst) still holds challenges regarding safety, selectivity and productivity. The membrane micro reactor system for continuous liquid phase H2O2 direct synthesis was designed to reduce safety issues by separate dosing of the gaseous reactants via a membrane into a liquid-flow channel filled with a catalyst. Productivity is increased by enhanced mass transport, attainable in micro channels and by multiple re-saturation of the liquid with the reactants over the length of the reaction channel. Lastly, selectivity is optimized by controlling the reactant distribution. The influence of crucial technical features of the design, such as micro channel geometry, were studied experimentally in relationship with varying reaction conditions such as residence time, pressure, reactant ratio and solvent flow rate. Successful continuous operation of the reactor at pressures up to 50 bars showed the feasibility of this system. During the experiments, control over the reactant ratio was found to be crucial in order to maximize product yield. Thereby, yields above 80% were achieved. The results obtained are the key elements for future development and optimization of this reactor system, which will hopefully lead to a breakthrough in decentralized H2O2 production.

The Bohlmann–Rahtz pyridine synthesis and the Hantzsch dihydropyridine synthesis can be carried out in a microwave flow reactor or using a conductive heating flow platform for the continuous processing of material. In the Bohlmann–Rahtz reaction, the use of a Brønsted acid catalyst allows Michael addition and cyclodehydration to be carried out in a single step without isolation of intermediates to give the corresponding trisubstituted pyridine as a single regioisomer in good yield. Furthermore, 3-substituted propargyl aldehydes undergo Hantzsch dihydropyridine synthesis in preference to Bohlmann–Rahtz reaction in a very high yielding process that is readily transferred to continuous flow processing.

The target compounds could be obtained in high (~90%) yields without any catalyst in simple alcohols as the solvent. The flow process elaborated required shorter reaction times and lower excess of the reagent, as compared to the “traditional” batch reactions, and allowed the synthesis of the α-aminophosphonates on a somewhat larger scale.

Synthesis of control algorithms is carried out by the method of analytical design of aggregated regulators (ADAR). The first variant assumes synthesis of temperature controller by classic ADAR method on the basis of a sequential set of invariant manifolds. The second one is based on the cascade control system structure. Computer simulation is used to study and compare the synthesized control systems.

Abstract:
The development of an innovative and sustainable high-throughput reaction platform allows optimizing a wide range of chemical processes (materials synthesis and catalysis, among others) to tackle the Green Deal. This tool unifies, for the first time, the benefits of mechanical energy, thermal and pressure activation in continuous flow with an induction in situ heating system, facilitating the incorporation of inputs (liquids, solids and gases) with controlled pressure. As a result of the synergistic effect of this simultaneous activation, this technology will: (i) shorten reaction times; (ii) decrease temperature; (iii) improve reactions kinetics as mass transfer limitations are reduced; (iv) minimize the use of solvents; (v) decrease the reaction steps; (vi) increase the volume treated, enabling a real scale-up; and (vii) enhance the yields and/or selectivity. This new high-throughput reactor is used for the synthesis of calcium diglyceroxide (CaDG), minimizing the reaction steps and cost, to obtain a pure CaDG. This heterogeneous catalyst is used for biodiesel production and valorization of the glycerol generated as a by-product. An efficient synthesis protocol of CaDG has been developed, requiring shorter time, without heating, and no need for a solvent. This new process facilitates oil–methanol mixing in the transesterification process, thus minimizing the mass transfer limitations associated with the immiscibility of reactants. In addition, this process has been optimized by using CaDG as a solid catalyst.

Abstract:
The synthesis of aluminum nitride (AlN) powders is traditionally completed through a thermal nitridation process, in which the reacting aluminum powders are combined with nitrogen at high temperatures with a long reaction time (usually several hours). Moreover, the occurrence of agglomeration within the melting Al particles results in a poor dispersibility of AlN powders, with a low efficiency of nitridation. In this study, an atmosphere-pressure microwave plasma preceded the rapid gas-gas synthesis process. In the reactor, the gaseous aluminum chloride (AlCl3) reactant was fed at different positions (R1, R2, R3) to react with nitrogen at various reaction temperatures (690~1150°C) to rapidly produce AlN nano powders (in several seconds). The process was operated at a total flow rate of 13 slm with NH3 gas content of 0 or 0.77% and an applied power of 1200/1400 W. Results showed that the high purity and dispersibility of AlN powders were found at a AlCl3 feeding position closer to the resonant cavity of the reactor (R3, 1150°C). The AlN particle size was in the range of 25-50 nm. The experiments indicated that the gas-gas reaction for rapidly synthesizing AlN nanopowders can be successfully carried out via an AlCl3-N2 plasma-chemical approach.

Abstract:
Abstract Hazard and operability (HAZOP) analysis is a highly disciplined process hazard analysis (PHA) technique based on the exploration of the effects of process variables deviations. Inconveniences of a conventional HAZOP study are its time-consuming character and high cost. The principal objective of this paper is to present a new methodology for hazard identification of a selected chemical production process. Model-based HAZOP study is a very robust tool for predicting a systems response to deviations from design or operation conditions. An approach based on the mathematical modelling of a process can help to identify sources of hazard that could be overlooked by conventional PHA techniques. A case study focused on the multiple steady states phenomenon in an ammonia synthesis reactor is presented. The process simulation was performed using the Aspen HYSYS v8.4 process modelling environment. Nonlinear behaviour of the investigated fixed-bed reactor system was confirmed by an accident in an industrial ammonia synthesis reactor. The analysed system exhibited the feed temperature and pressure dependence of various operation parameters. This fact indicates the presence of multiple steady states. From the safety analysis point of view, switching between steady states can lead to process hazards.

Abstract:
Abstract Inexpensive synthesis of electroceramic materials is required for efficient energy storage. Here the design of a scalable process, flame spray pyrolysis (FSP), for synthesis of size-controlled nanomaterials is investigated focusing on understanding the role of air entrainment (AE) during their aerosol synthesis with emphasis on battery materials. The AE into the enclosed FSP reactor is analysed quantitatively by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and calculated temperatures are verified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Various Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) particle compositions are made and characterized by N2 adsorption, electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction while the electrochemical performance of LTO is tested at various charging rates. Increasing AE decreases recirculation in the enclosing tube leading to lower reactor temperatures and particle concentrations by air dilution as well as shorter and narrower residence time distributions. As a result, particle growth by coagulation - coalescence decreases leading to smaller primary particles that are mostly pure LTO exhibiting high C-rate performance with more than 120 mAh/g galvanostatic specific charge at 40C, outperforming commercial LTO. The effect of AE on FSP-made particle characteristics is demonstrated also in combustion synthesis of LiFePO4 and ZrO2.
