The method of deposition-precipitation has been known for a long time in the industry (Table 14.1), but it has been more recently extensively studied from a

fundamental point of view to understand the underlying chemical phenomena, mainly by Geus and colleagues (1-3), then by Burattin and colleagues (4-7). Several reviews were published on this preparation method (8, 9). The purpose of this new review is to summarize what has been published since the publication of the last one in 1997 (9). We will see that sonication (Section 14.5) and evaporation of ammine (Section 14.6) can be considered as other alternatives to the deposition-precipitation. In contrast, deposition-precipitation at a fixed pH (Section 14.3.b) can be considered as a distortion of the pristine principle of deposition-precipitation.
