“…REE-doped thoria (REE = rare-earth element) is of great interest in view of its promising applications in various areas of energy technology such as oxygen sensors [1][2][3][4] or as potential nuclear fuel in several future concepts [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Indeed, due to the promising resources of thorium ores and to the possibility to achieve a nuclear fuel cycle which considerably reduces the amount of longlive radioactive wastes, a renewal of interest of thoria-based nuclear fuel cycles recently emerged.…”

Electrolytic grade yttria-doped thoria (YDT) was synthesized by a novel combustion method. Sintering studies were carried out with polyvinyl alcohol as binder or ZnO as sintering aid to obtain high-density product. The sintering temperature has been optimized as 1,923 K. The results showed that when ZnO was used and sintered at 1,923 K, high-density YDT pellets were obtained, which met the required helium leak rate of the order of ∼10 −9 std. l/s.

“…This will impact the auto ignition temperature, the degree of crystallinity and physical properties of the synthesised final products. Extensive research activities in optimizing the fuel/ oxidizer ratio (φ) for the synthesis of various metal oxides have been reported in the literature . Each and every type of fuel behaves uniquely in the combustion process and hence it is necessary to optimize the fuel/ oxidizer is essential.…”

Metal oxide nanostructures receive great interest due to their unique size and shape dependent physicochemical and functional properties. With the rapid growth of metal oxide nanotechnology, their chemical synthesis processes have become the most promising one due to their simplicity and versatility. Among the various available chemical processes such as sol‐gel, hydrothermal, polyol and precipitation, the combustion process receives significant attention. In particular, the combustion process has been extensively explored for the synthesis of various nanostructured materials including metal oxides, which involves in the exothermic reaction upon thermal heating of precursor chemicals. Recently, the combustion process has been reinvented by using the various renewable resource‐based organic fuels, which receives increasing interest among global researchers. A wide range of plant/ leaf, fruit, flower, seed, peel, latex and tuber extracts along with the plant‐derived products have been explored in combustion process for the synthesis of various metal oxides. Hence, the present review is aimed to focus the recent advances in the combustion process by using renewable fuels for the synthesis of metal oxide nanostructures and also the emerging opportunities.
