“…Different preparation methods such as precipitation and co-precipitation (BiabaniRavandi et al, 2013b,c), impregnation (Jansson, 2000), hydrotalcite route (Mokhtar et al, 2010), double complex salt decomposition (Potemkin et al, 2012), thermal decomposition (Iglesias et al, 2005), micelle-assisted hydrothermal synthesis (Teng et 3 al., 2009), sol-gel (Sun et al, 2011) and microwave-assisted hydrothermal method (Cao et al, 2012) have been investigated, but among them the precipitation method is the most common and the simplest.…”
