The chemical design of new functional materials for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is of great interest as a means for overcoming the disadvantages of traditional materials. Redox stability, carbon deposition and sulfur poisoning of the anodes are positioned as the main processes that result in the degradation of SOFC performance. In this regard, double perovskite molybdates are possible alternatives to conventional Ni-based cermets. The present review provides the fundamental properties of four members: Sr2NiMoO6-δ, Sr2MgMoO6-δ, Sr2FeMoO6-δ and Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6-δ. These properties vary greatly depending on the type and concentration of the 3d-element occupying the B-position of A2BB’O6. The main emphasis is devoted to: (i) the synthesis features of undoped double molybdates, (ii) their electrical conductivity and thermal behaviors in both oxidizing and reducing atmospheres, as well as (iii) their chemical compatibility with respect to other functional SOFC materials and components of gas atmospheres. The information provided can serve as the basis for the design of efficient fuel electrodes prepared from complex oxides with layered structures.

AbstractTwisted bilayered systems such as bilayered graphene exhibit remarkable properties such as superconductivity at magic angles and topological insulating phases. For generic twist angles, the bilayers are truly quasiperiodic, a fact that is often overlooked and that has consequences which are largely unexplored. Herein, we uncover that twisted n-layers host intrinsic higher dimensional topological phases, and that those characterized by second Chern numbers can be found in twisted bi-layers. We employ phononic lattices with interactions modulated by a second twisted lattice and reveal Hofstadter-like spectral butterflies in terms of the twist angle, which acts as a pseudo magnetic field. The phason provided by the sliding of the layers lives on 2n-tori and can be used to access and manipulate the edge states. Our work demonstrates how multi-layered systems are virtual laboratories for studying the physics of higher dimensional quantum Hall effect, and can be employed to engineer topological pumps via simple twisting and sliding.
