Colloidal and "wet chemistry" routes for the synthesis of nanostructured inorganic materials

A relevant part of the research activity is focused on the optimization of innovative "wet chemistry" synthesis processes through three general approaches:

  1. hydrothermal
  2. miniemulsion
  3. nucleation and growth from solution

A first approach is based on the combination of hydrothermal treatments with oxalates co-precipitation. This approach has been used for the production of nanomaterials with interesting magnetic properties, in particular ferrites and manganites, with crystallite domains with average sizes ranging between 5 and 50 nm.
