Hydrothermal

Hydrothermal   Hydrothermal synthesis includes the various techniques of crystallizing substances from high-temperature aqueous solutions at high vapor pressures; also termed “hydrothermal method”. The term “hydrothermal” is of geologic...

Thermolysis

Thermolysis Thermal decomposition, or thermolysis, is a chemical decomposition caused by heat. The decomposition temperature of a substance is the temperature at which the substance chemically decomposes. The reaction is usually endothermic as heat is required to...

Precipitation

Precipitation Precipitation is the creation of a solid in a solution or inside another solid during a chemical reaction or by diffusion in a solid. When the reaction occurs in a liquid solution, the solid formed is called the ‘precipitate’.The chemical...

Chemical Vapour Deposition

Chemical Vapour Deposition Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a chemical process used to produce high quality, high-performance, solid materials. The process is often used in thesemiconductor industry to produce thin films. In typical Chemical Vapour Deposition, the...
