Oxide material synthesis by combustion of organic-inorganic compositions

Abstract

This review analyzes and summarizes the research results for oxide material synthesis by combustion of organic-inorganic mixtures. We have outlined the range of physical and chemical factors influencing the precursor processes and the oxide material synthesis itself, as well as have shown the ways and options to control these processes and nanoscale materials' properties. We have highlighted several issues concerning the analysis methods for the resulting materials and processes. We have exemplified the practical implementation of the methods under discussion.
