	abstract = {<p>Nano and microcrystalline, Mn/CeO2 solid solutions (5 mol.\% Mn) have been prepared by solution combustion synthesis using urea, glycine or polyethylene glycol (PEG) as fuel. The nature of the fuel and its concentration (fuel to metal mole ratio, F/M have a strong influence on the physical and chemical characteristics of the resulting Mn/CeO2 solid solutions. The variations in the physicochemical properties are attributed to differences in (i) the adiabatic/real flame temperature realized with these fuels at different F/M ratios; (ii) the sustenance of the temperature or the quenching effect of the fuel at higher F/M ratios; (iii) combustion or decomposition of the precursors as the main course of the reaction; and (iv) the generation of gaseous products during combustion. Since the addition of the fuel to the initial precursor solution does not change the pH of the medium, the differences in the type of Mn species formed are mainly attributed to the combustion process.

	abstract = {<p>High sulfide conversion and predominant sulfoxide yield has been observed with 0.1\% vanadium doped disordered mesoporous Ti1-xVxO2 material at ambient and sub ambient temperatures using environmentally green H2O2 oxidant. Ti1-xVxO2 materials were prepared by one-pot solution combustion method in less than 15 min and thoroughly characterized by X-ray diffraction, HRTEM, Raman spectra and other physicochemical techniques. Different sulfides, such as, phenylsulfide, methyl-p-tolylsulfide, ethylsulfide, thioanisole, were converted into the corresponding sulfoxide. Isolated V5+ incorporated in the TiO2 lattice is likely to be the active species for the sulfide oxidation reaction. Catalyst recycling studies indicates the robustness of the catalyst.
