Synthesis of classes of ternary metal oxide nanostructures.
Nanoscale structures, such as nanoparticles, nanorods, nanowires, nanocubes, and nanotubes, have attracted extensive synthetic attention as a result of their novel size-dependent properties. Ideally, the net result of nanoscale synthesis is the production of structures that achieve monodispersity, stability, and crystallinity with a predictable morphology. Many of the synthetic methods used to attain these goals have been based on principles derived from semiconductor technology, solid state chemistry, and molecular inorganic cluster chemistry. We describe a number of advances that have been made in the reproducible synthesis of various ternary oxide nanomaterials, including alkaline earth metal titanates, alkali metal titanates, bismuth ferrites, ABO(4)-type oxides, as well as miscellaneous classes of ternary metal oxides.
