“…To date, a variety of methods, such as hydrothermal (HT), − sonochemical, ultrasonic-assisted coprecipitation, solid-state, microwave-hydrothermal, coprecipitation, , sol–gel, solvothermal, microwave, mechanochemical, solution combustion, microemulsion, and wet chemical method, have been successfully reported. However, these methods, except for HT, require severe reaction conditions such as a high temperature, surfactants, complicated procedures, a long reaction time, and difficulties in large-scale synthesis.…”
