This compact handbook describes all the important methods of
synthesis employed today for synthesizing inorganic
materials.
Some features:
* Focuses on modern inorganic materials with applications in
nanotechnology, energy materials, and sustainability
* Synthesis is a crucial component of materials science and
technology; this book provides a simple introduction as well as an
updated description of methods
* Written in a very simple style, providing references to the
literature to get details of the methods of preparation when
required
