“…[21] The properties of zinc gallates in general are a function of their preparation and of the resulting morphology, such as nanowires, [12,22,23] polyhedron-related, rod-like or irregular shapes. [24] The prevailing synthetic approaches to pristine and substituted ZnGa 2 O 4 materials are solid-state reactions, [5,7,13,20,[25][26][27] sol-gel methods, [18,28,29] pulsed laser deposition techniques, [30] co-precipitation, [7] chemical transport, [31] thermal evaporation, [12,22,23,32] the Pecchini approach [19] and hydrothermal methods [24,26,27,[33][34][35][36][37] (for a survey see Supporting Information, Table S.1). Among these techniques, hydrothermal syntheses are of special interest, because they can provide homogeneous phases and particle size distributions as well as tuneable particle morphologies in a single reaction step.…”
