New materials in hydrothermal synthesis.
In this Account we describe the hydrothermal synthesis of some new materials including microporous crystals, ionic conductors, complex oxides and fluorides, low-dimensional aluminophosphates, inorganic-organic hybrid materials, and particularly condensed materials such as diamond and inorganic helical chains. Hydrothermal synthesis in biology and environment sciences is also introduced. The increasing interest in hydrothemal synthesis derives from its advantages in terms of high reactivity of reactants, easy control of solution or interface reactions, formation of metastable and unique condensed phases, less air pollution, and low energy consumption.
