Supercritical fluid processing: a new route for materials synthesis

Abstract

Supercritical fluids exhibit a range of unusual properties that can be exploited for new reactions which are qualitatively different from those involving classical solid state chemistry. After giving a brief introduction to these fluids we describe their use in inorganic chemistry and related fields. We then present two examples concerning different areas of solid state chemistry: (i) the formation of novel inorganic nanoparticles; (ii) the preparation of new open-structure oxy(hydroxy)fluorides, thus showing the advantages of this supercritical fluid processing that can be seen as an alternative method to regular solution chemistry or solid-gas reactions.
