First, 0.02 mol lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate (La(NO3)3∙6H2O), ferric nitrate nonahydrate (Fe(NO3)3∙9H2O), and nickel nitrate hexahydrate (Ni(NO3)2∙6H2O) were dissolved in deionized water to form the mixed solution. Various photocatalysts with different molar ratios of Fe/Ni were manipulated at

• ]. Intentionally, we have not mentioned before another synthesis technique, which is known as solution combustion synthesis (SCS) or self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). In fact, this method is relatively inexpensive and effective for the production of various industrially useful materials [42][43

Recently, several kinds of inorganic nanomaterials have been prepared in our research group using a developed reaction coupling self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (RC-SHS) technology [9][10][14]. The results showed that the heat of the reaction intensity

• TiB2/(TiB2–TiN) samples could be effectively controlled through the in situ reaction coupling self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (RC-SHS) method. The results were found to be in agreement with that of our previous studies [9][10][14]. Chemical reactions and growth mechanism During the growth
