Hydrothermal synthesis of fine oxide powders

This is a review and an overview on hydrothermal synthesis of fine oxide po wders. The term hydrothermal today includes methods which involve water at pressures (from 1 atm-several kilobars) and high temperatures from 100-10,0 00 degreesC. Hydrothermal is one of the best methods to produce pure fine o xide powders. The authors describe (i) hydrothermal decomposition, (ii) hyd rothermal metal oxidation, (iii) hydrothermal reaction, (iv) hydrothermal p recipitation and hydrothermal hydrolysis, (v) hydrothermal electrochemical, (vi) reactive electrode submerged are, (vii) hydrothermal microwave, (viii ) hydrothermal sonochemical, etc and also ideal and real powders.
