ABSTRACT
Porous nanostructured ceramics are a very attractive class of materials that find potential for various end applications, ranging from simple to socialite, such as bioimaging, sensors, paints, pigments, optics, and electronics. This chapter explores the possibility of using the synthesis route, especially sol-gel process, for the preparation of nanoceramic materials. The synthesis of a nanoceramic composite is quite necessary to improve various physicochemical characteristics, thereby enhancing applicability in end applications. Pyrolysis is a technique that produces various materials, including ceramics, in which a gas flows through an aerosol, where these aerosols are formed within the furnace. Ceramic material shows better thermal shock compared to alumina due to the lower thermal expansion coefficient or thermal shock resistance, which depends on multiple parameters such as size, shape, thermal, physical, and mechanical properties of the material. Ceramics have been used for the fabrication of nanoceramic-based electrode materials. Due to various properties these materials behave as excellent electrode materials in the form of nanocomposites.
