Synthesis method
Advantages
Disadvantages
Large-scale application
Bibliographic references
Solution combustion synthesis Short reaction times of synthesis
Ability to fabricate nanoscale
powders with the desired crystal
structure in one step
Wide size distribution (from nanoto sub-micrometer irregular
particles)
Particle aggregation
High energy consumption
No prospective feasibility, due to
the high energy demand
[80, 83, 84]
Ultrasound
No chemical reducing agent is
needed
Reaction rates are reasonably fast
Very small catalyst particles are
produced
High energy consumption
Possible, if no expensive metal
precursor are used
