Solution combustion is an exciting phenomenon, which involves propagation of self-sustained exothermic reactions along an aqueous or sol–gel media. This process allows for the synthesis of a variety of nanoscale materials, including oxides, metals, alloys, and sulfides. This Review focuses on the analysis of new approaches and results in the field of solution combustion synthesis (SCS) obtained during recent years. Thermodynamics and kinetics of reactive solutions used in different chemical routes are considered, and the role of process parameters is discussed, emphasizing the chemical mechanisms that are responsible for rapid self-sustained combustion reactions. The basic principles for controlling the composition, structure, and nanostructure of SCS products, and routes to regulate the size and morphology of the nanoscale materials are also reviewed. Recently developed systems that lead to the formation of novel materials and unique structures (e.g., thin films and two-dimensional crystals) with unusual...

Fine-particle metal aluminates,$MAl_20_4$ where $M = Mg$, $Ca$, $Sr$, $Ba$, $Mn$, $Co$, $Ni$, $Cu$ and $Zn$ as well as $3CaO . Al_2O_3$ $(C_3A)$, $CaAl_{12}O_{19}$ $(CA_6)$ and $MgCeAl_{11}O_{19}$ have been prepared by the combustion of mixtures of the respective metal nitrates (oxidizers) and urea or carbohydrazide (fuels) at 500 or $350^0c$ respectively, over a time of 5min. The solid combustion products were identified by their characteristic X-ray powder diffraction patterns. The fine-particle nature of these metal aluminates was investigated using SEM, TEM, particle size analysis and surface area measurements. The surface areas of the as-prepared metal aluminates using carbohydrazide fuel were higher (45 to 85 $m^2g^{-1}$) compared with urea (1 to 20 $m^2g^{-1}$).
