Solvothermal processes: Definition, key factors governing the involved chemical reactions and new trends

Abstract

Solvothermal processes are defined, and the different domains of applications are described. The main physico-chemical factors playing a key role in such processes are then analyzed. The trends characterizing the current development of solvothermal processes are outlined. © 2010 Verlag der Zeitschrift für Naturforschung, Tübingen.
