Abstract:
A method for preparing an inorganic material comprising:a. imbibing onto the surface of an organic substrate a reactive blend comprising: at least one metal cation; at least one oxidizing agent; and at least one precursor anion oxidizable by said oxidizing agent to form an oxoanion; b. conducting an initial heating step to react said reactive blend while imbibed in the organic substrate under conditions of temperature and pressure effective to initiate an oxidation-reduction reaction between said oxidizing agent and the precursor anion; c. said reaction evolving at least one gaseous product, giving rise to said oxoanion and forming the inorganic material; and d. performing a subsequent heating step of said inorganic shaped body to remove any residue of said organic substrate.
