solid-state synthesis

Solid-state synthesis is a chemical manufacturing process where compounds are formed directly from solid materials, rather than using liquids or gases. In this method, two or more solid reactants are ground together and then heated to facilitate chemical reactions, leading to the formation of a new solid compound. This approach is commonly used to create ceramics, magnetic materials, and other solid-state products in various industries. It is valued for its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and ability to produce high-purity materials, making it a key technique in materials science and engineering.
