Prospects of Soft Mechanochemical Synthesis

Analysis of the works recently published on the soft mechanochemical synthesis of oxide compounds is presented in the review. Specific features and advantages of this method in comparison with other ones are considered. The possibilities of this method in obtaining materials through easier and readily realizable procedures avoiding solvents are demonstrated. Specific examples of the synthesis of fireproof oxides, spinels, catalysts, lithium-containing compounds, pigments are presented, and the prospects of their implementation are considered.
