This review article summarizes recent seminal research works on optical properties of
inorganic pigments. A comprehensive state-of-art on rare earth-transition metal oxide …

We performed a comprehensive review of the state of the art of synthesis methods for
pigments employed for cool roof. The aim is to present the best synthesis method, among …

In the last decades, the development of new ceramic pigments has been a very pursuit goal,
mainly since the emergence of the inkjet technology applied to ceramic tiles. The digital …

In this study, the light absorption of the pure ZrO 2 and three types of colorful ZrO 2 mixtures
were investigated. It was found that the absorbance of colored ZrO 2 powder increases with …

Paraffin wax used as a latent heat energy storage substance has a little heat transfer rates
while melting/freezing processes due to its low thermal conductivity. In this paper, enhancing …

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited on soda lime glass substrates by the ultrasonic
spray pyrolysis technique (USP), starting from zinc acetylacetonate. A novelty process was …

Iron ore tailings (IOTs) are in urgent need of utilization. Here, a series of novel red composite
pigments with bright color (L*= 42.6, a*= 35.3, and b*= 25.7) and high thermostability (1000° …

Yellow inorganic pigments Pr x Zr 1-x SiO 4 (x= 0–0.08) have been prepared by a novel non-
hydrolytic sol-gel (NHSG) method at 750° C for 2 h. Replacing Pr 4+ for Zr 4+ in ZrSiO 4 …

A zircon-based black pigment, which consists of in-situ carbon transformed from cotton
cellulose as core and zircon as shell (C@ ZrSiO 4), was prepared via non-hydrolytic sol–gel …

Silica layer coated γ-Ce 2 S 3 red pigments were successfully prepared based on a Stober
method followed by a hydrogen-argon atmosphere heat treatment at 700° C. The effect of …
