摘要 |
Metal and mixed metal oxides are prepared using a redox reaction among components mixed at an atomic level in solution, and irradiating the solution with an appropriate energy source. In one aspect of preferred embodiments, the redox reaction is initiated using microwave energy directed at the solution. In another aspect of preferred embodiments, the metal precursor salt provides an oxidizing ligand. In yet another aspect of preferred embodiments, the solution is aqueous. |
