Various methods are applied to the synthesis of titania particles including sol-gel method, hydrothermal method [2], citrate gel method, flame processing and spray pyrolysis [1]. To utilize titania as a photocatalyst, the formation of ultrafme anatase titania particles with large crystallite size and large surface area by various ways has been studied [4]. 

In this work, flame spray pyrolysis was applied to the synthesis of titania particles to control the crystal structure and crystallite size and compared with the particle prepared by the conventional spray pyrolysis...

ZnO particle morphologies are very complex and diversiform in comparison with Ti02. Thus, monodispersed ZnO particles with well-defined morphological characteristics, such as spherical, ellipsoidal, needle, prismatic, and rod-like shapes, have been obtained. Aggregates composed of these basic shape particles have also been achieved. The methods used for synthesis of these ZnO powders include alkali precipitation [214-216], thermal decomposition [217], hydrothermal synthesis [218], organo-zinc hydrolysis [219], spray pyrolysis [220], and other routes. 

The photoelectrochemical behavior of a given photoanode is dependent on its method of synthesis. Various methods, some of which we now briefly consider, such as anodic oxidation, spray pyrolysis, reactive sputtering and vapor deposition are commonly employed to make polycrystalline thin films.

An interesting development of this azepine synthesis is the intramolecular addition of acylnitrenes to arenes, as exemplified in Scheme 27 for the nitrene (231) generated from benzyl azidoformate by spray pyrolysis (80CC1161).

Metal nanowires are obtained in good yields by the nebulized spray pyrolysis of a methanolic solution of metal acetates.165 This method has been employed for the synthesis of single-crystalline nanowires of zinc, cadmium and lead (see Fig. IS). The nanowires seem to grow by the vapour-solid mechanism. ZnO nanotubes... 

Aqueous methods and conversion methods In aqueous solutions, the Ce " ions would precipitate even in quite acidic solutions while the Ce " " ions would precipitate as Ce(OH)3 at much higher pH values (7-9) Ce(OH)3 precipitate could be oxidized into ceria in air. In nonaqueous solutions, ceria forms with decomposition of appropriate precursor, with or without the oxidation by air or other oxidative species. If doping is a target, the doping ions would be introduced during the synthesis, and the coprecipitation, sol-gel, combustion/spray pyrolysis, or hydrothermal techniques are usually employed for such a task. 

The design of the interstices filling in colloidal crystals with appropriate media and subsequently fluid-solid transformation is central to the whole synthesis. Fluid precursors in the voids of crystal arrays can solidify by polymerization and sol-gel hydrolysis. More recently, many methods have been developed including salt precipitation and chemical conversion, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), spraying techniques (spray pyrolysis, ion spraying, and laser spraying), nanocrystal deposition and sintering, oxide and salt reduction, electrodeposition, and electroless deposition. 

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) has been defined as a materials synthesis process whereby constituents of the vapor phase react chemically near or on a substrate surface to form a solid product. With these traditional processes a reaction chamber and secondary energy (heat) source are mandatory making them different from the Combustion CVD process. Numerous flame-based variations of CVD have been used to generate powders, perform spray pyrolysis, create glass forms, and form carbon films including diamond films. 

Four different routes were employed for the synthesis of iron-oxide-based redox water-sphtting materials Solid-State Synthesis (SSS), Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis (SHS), Gel Combustion (GC) and Aerosol Spray Pyrolysis (ASP) [8]. These synthesis methods were chosen with the rationale to exploit particular characteristics of each one for the synthesis of products with tunable oxygen vacancies concentration. The synthesis details have been reported previously [8], therefore only the general reaction concepts are reported below, where A and B denote the bivalent dopant metals Ni, Mn or Zn. 

There are numerous approaches to the synthesis of highly dispersed metal oxides in addition to those discussed. These include some methods that have been less commonly used to prepare metal oxides, such as vapor condensation methods, spray pyrolysis and templated techniques.

While there is an extensive literature dealing with the synthesis of bulk IIl-VI compounds, the fabrication of thin films has until recently been the subject of relatively few reports in the literature. One example of such is the preparation of thin films of In2- tGatS3 (x = 0-2) by the spray pyrolysis of aqueous solutions of InCl3, GaCl3 and thiourea in methanol/water [209]. Recent studies concerning the CVD growth of...
