ABSTRACT

To experimentally study a material’s properties for an application, the first step is to synthesize the material. A variety of techniques have been used for the synthesis of inorganic perovskite oxide materials, with diverse choices of their structure, size, and shape. Based on the nature of precursors, the synthesis can be classified as a solid-state, liquid-phase, and gas-phase reactions. The selection of the right synthesis method is important to match the functionalities of the perovskite materials since the structure and morphology of the materials can significantly affect their performance. For example, to synthesize high-performance perovskite catalysts, one has to select a synthesis technique suitable for the fabrication of nanostructured perovskite oxide catalysts with controllable structures.
