Sol-Gel Method
Advantages: Precise control over composition, low temperature processing, and versatility.
Limitations: Long processing times and potential cracking during drying.
Hydrothermal Synthesis
Advantages: High crystallinity, controlled morphology, and suitability for complex oxides.
Limitations: Requires high pressure equipment and longer reaction times.
Microwave-Assisted Synthesis
Advantages: Rapid heating, shorter reaction times, and energy efficiency.
Limitations: Limited to materials that can absorb microwaves and potential uneven heating.
Sonochemical Synthesis
Advantages: Simple setup, uniform particle size, and high reaction rates.
Limitations: Scale-up challenges and potential equipment erosion.
Biological Synthesis
Advantages: Eco-friendly, biocompatible, and cost-effective.
Limitations: Limited control over particle size and purity, and slower synthesis rates.
