“…Composites with the nickel aluminate phase (NiAl 2 O 4 ) are also used as catalysts or precatalysts for steam reforming or as electrode materials in high-temperature fuel cells due to their unusual conductivity [4]. Composites with nickel aluminate phase can be prepared by several methods, such as a powder technique [5], sol-gel method [6][7][8][9], wet chemical methods such as hydrothermal and solvothermal methods [10], powder coating process [11], conventional impregnation solid-state reaction [12]. The formation of the spinel depends on many factors, e.g., time, temperature, starting substrates used in the process, and it is not still fully described.…”
