Solvothermal synthesis
Solvothermal synthesis is a process used to create new materials, often at the nanoscale, by heating chemical solutions in a sealed container called an autoclave. The high temperature and pressure inside enable chemical reactions to occur that might not happen under normal conditions, allowing precise control over the material's size, shape, and properties. This method is commonly used to produce advanced materials like ceramics, nanoparticles, and specialized coatings, making it valuable in industries such as electronics, energy, and medicine.
