The evolution of 'sol-gel' chemistry as a technique for materials synthesis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors classify different types of sol-gel precursors and how these can influence a solgel process, from self-assembly and ordering in the initial solution, to phase separation during the gelation process and finally to crystallographic transformations at high temperature.
Iron-catalyzed graphitization of biomass
TL;DR: In this paper, a single-step transformation of raw lignocellulosic biomass into graphitic carbon is described. But the method is not suitable for large-scale and sustainable synthesis of carbon for electrode or filtration applications.

Fluorescent liquid pyrene derivative-in-water microemulsions
TL;DR: A fluorescent liquid pyrene derivative with a high fluorescence quantum yield (65%) in the bulk state is reported and with this as the sole oil phase, stable luminescent oil-in-water microemulsions have been prepared.

In Situ Synchrotron X-ray Diffraction Study of the Sol–Gel Synthesis of Fe3N and Fe3C
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the complex phase transformations occurring in a transition-metal carbide (Fe3C, cementite) synthesis using in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction.
