What is it about?
Spinels represent a wide range of compounds all having the same general formula, AB2O4, where A and B are divalent and trivalent metal cations that typically sit in tetrahedral and octahedral holes in the oxygen lattice, respectively.

Why is it important?
Spinels have a wide variety of uses, for example, they can be used, as catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction reduction of nitrogen oxides, oxidation of CO, hydrocarbons , decomposition of NO and hydrogenation of CO ,as thermistors and as infrared sensors
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure as it has co-authors with whom I have had long standing collaborations.we have shown that using a straightforward preparation methodology an effective CoMn2O4/MgO catalyst, with a significant surface area, can be produced. The catalyst is active for acid/base and oxidation catalysis. The reduced form may be suitable for reaction such as Fischer–Tropsch or higher alcohol synthesis.
