“…Various wet-chemical methods have been developed and successfully used to synthesize pure and / or doped YAG. These involve precipitation [1,4,7,9,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] , sol-gel [1,17,[26][27][28] , citrate gel [29] , hydrothermal [30] , solvothermal [6,31] , supercritical water [32,33] , combustion [34,35] , spray-pyrolysis [36,37] , microemulsion [38] , microwave irradiation [39] and modified Pechini routes [40] . Among them, precipitation method is one of the most commonly used techniques, because homogeneous multi-element compounds from which can be prepared effectively on a large scale and final products with improving phase purity can be formed at the temperature below 1000 °C.…”
