“…Through delicate control of the reaction parameters, such as the pH value, the temperature, the time of processing, and the selection of precursors, solvents, and surfactants, etc., tuning of the dimension, size and shape of the target g-AlOOH nanomaterials as desired may be achieved. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] In addition to its technological importance, g-AlOOH is also of considerable relevance in high pressure studies. As a mineral with intrastructural hydroxyl groups, the structure and stability of boehmite under high pressures is not only relevant for the investigation of geophysical and geochemical processes in the Earth's crust and the upper mantle, but also for the preparation of new materials with specic properties via high pressure/high temperature techniques.…”
