The present invention relates to new multiferroic materials. More particularly, the present invention relates to new multiferroic single phase ceramic materials as well as to thin films formed from these materials, methods of preparing these materials and their use as multiferroic materials in electronic components and devices.

Multiferroic materials

Perovskite structures are provided for use in fuel cells. Specifically, perovskite structures are provided for use as electrodes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and methods of making the same. The perovskite structure may include a first element X, strontium, iron, cobalt, oxygen and tungsten; wherein the first element X is barium, a lanthanide, or a mixture thereof, and wherein the structure comprises a region of single perovskite and a region of double perovskite.

Perovskite structure for fuel cell

A method is described for preparing a catalyst precursor suitable for use in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of hydrocarbons including 10 to 40% by weight of cobalt oxide crystallites and 0.05 to 0.5% by weight of a precious metal promoter, dispersed over the surface of a porous transition alumina wherein the surface of the transition alumina has been modified by inclusion of 0.25 to 3.5% wt magnesium, including the steps of:

Fischer-tropsch catalyst comprising cobalt, magnesium and precious metal
