Hydrothermal Synthesis

Hydrothermal synthesis is a method used to create materials, like crystals or nanoparticles, by dissolving substances in water at high temperatures and pressures. This process mimics conditions found deep within the Earth, allowing chemicals to react more effectively and form desired structures. The advantages of hydrothermal synthesis include better control over the size and shape of the produced materials and the ability to create complex compounds. This technique is widely used in fields like materials science, chemistry, and nanotechnology for developing advanced materials with specific properties.
