Solid-State Reactions: Mechanistic Insights, Kinetic Behavior and Emerging Applications in Advanced Materials
Abstract: Solid-state reactions are fundamental to the synthesis and transformation of inorganic materials, playing a crucial role in the development of ceramics, semiconductors, catalysts, and energy storage systems. Unlike reactions in liquid or gaseous phases, they are limited by restricted atomic mobility and typically require elevated temperatures to enhance diffusion and overcome activation energy barriers. These reactions proceed through interfacial contact between solid reactants, followed by nucleation of product phases and …
