Abstract

In recent years, spinel oxides (i.e., AB₂O₄) have gained attention for energy and fuel applications due to their inherent structural stability and unique functional properties, making them strong contenders for advancing different energy systems. The intrinsic structural flexibility of AB₂O₄ permits targeted modification of their electrical, magnetic, chemical, thermal, and structural characteristics to meet various operational requirements. This review focuses on recent research (from 2020 to the present) on how such a big family of materials can be tailored and leveraged for use in energy and fuel applications, such as batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, electrolysis, CO₂ conversion, and chemical catalysts. We focus on experimental strategies for modifying spinels to better exploit their key attributes while minimizing known drawbacks. This review aims to evaluate the use of key modification approaches to tune the structures and properties of AB₂O₄, including doping, defect engineering, and nanostructuring, to drive improvements in energy and fuel applications. Additionally, we discuss diverse emerging applications where continued innovation could significantly enhance the role of spinels in advanced energy systems.

期刊介绍： Energy & Fuels publishes reports of research in the technical area defined by the intersection of the disciplines of chemistry and chemical engineering and the application domain of non-nuclear energy and fuels. This includes research directed at the formation of, exploration for, and production of fossil fuels and biomass; the properties and structure or molecular composition of both raw fuels and refined products; the chemistry involved in the processing and utilization of fuels; fuel cells and their applications; and the analytical and instrumental techniques used in investigations of the foregoing areas.
