Although previously assumed to be a sole problem of complex anode systems, recent investigations on hydrocarbon dissociation on ZrO2 materials revealed that even using pure oxidic materials, formation of different carbon architectures is possible.
Within each period – formation, growth and collapse of bubbles, lies a coherent phase of material formation.
Bradley et al. have shown that for the single element material, the formation of continuous or ordered ripples is less probable as compared to the one with binary material [31].
In addition, it has been stated that the presence of heptane-soluble material inhibits formation of coke by asphaltenes.
The underlying microstructure of the material explained formation of strain gradients during evolution of full-field strain fields.
In some industrial applications of plasma such as plasma processing of materials, the formation of dusty plasma has also been observed [11, 12, 13, 14].
In the case of anode materials, the formation of a solid-electrolyte-interface (SEI) layer on which metallic lithium is deposited during a fast charge of the battery should also be a concern.

Taking into account the molar enthalpy and Gibbs energy for ZrO2, GeO2 and GeO (Table 4), one can assume that upon thermal treatment of Ge-rich ZrO2 materials the formation of ZrO2 phase is most favorable.
The research on new Pt-based compositions is generally expensive and implies important difficulties, especially concerning the high cost of the raw materials, the formation of secondary phases and the stability, in the experimental conditions, of the prepared alloys.
