Fig. 4 Schematic diagrams of some selected less conventional synthesis methods. a Laser pyrolysis,
which uses a laser for the decomposition of materials by heating gas-phase reactants in an oxygen-poor
environment. b Flame spray pyrolysis, which is the latest of the flame aerosol technologies, and consists
in a one-step combustion process with self-sustaining flame where less volatile precursors are in liquid
form, with significantly higher combustion enthalpy (> 50% of total energy of combustion), usually in an
organic solvent. c Electrospraying technique, which is similar to electrospinning with the exception that it
forms nanoparticles rather than nanofibres. Reproduced with permission from Ref. [17]. Copyright Royal
