The atrane route constitutes a very versatile technique to obtain ordered mesoporous materials. A wide diversity of silica and silica-doped materials can be prepared by bringing into play fundamental synthesis parameters (like temperature, concentration and pH) which, in turn, allow modulation of the resulting material topology.
Barium zirconate is an interesting material for refractory applications as well as a good substrate for the manufacturing of high temperature superconductors. However, its solid state synthesis requires high temperature and provides inhomogeneous powder with a broad particle size distribution. In order to avoid these disadvantages, soft solution routes are of growing importance in the ceramic powder...
