In this study, the solution combustion method was employed to synthesize perovskite PZT ceramics. Multicomponent oxides can be prepared by the solution combustion synthesis using redox exothermic reaction of precursor solutions. The results of DTA/TG showed exothermic peaks in 214$^{\circ}C$ and 350$^{\circ}C$. Those were caused by the differences of the thermal decomposition behavior of oxidizer and fuel. The combustion reaction was completed at 370$^{\circ}C$ during heating procedure, but the product was not transformed into perovskite. The thermal decomposition behavior of both oxidizer and fuel were considered during solution combustion process at 600$^{\circ}C$, which showed tetragonal single phase PZT ceramics with 50 nm crystalline size. The lattice constant a was 3.997 ${\pm}$ 0.001 ${\AA}$ and the lattice constant c was 4.147${\pm}$0.001 ${\AA}$.

Molybdenum trioxide (MoO₃) is used in various applications including sensors, photocatalysts, and batteries owing to its excellent ionic conductivity and thermal properties. It can also be used as a precursor in the hydrogen reduction process to obtain molybdenum metals. Control of the parameters governing the MoO₃ synthesis process is extremely important because the size and shape of MoO₃ in the reduction process affect the shape, size, and crystallization of Mo metal. In this study, we fabricated MoO₃ nanoparticles using a solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method that utilizes an organic additive, thereby controlling their morphology. The nucleation behavior and particle morphology were confirmed using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The concentration of the precursor (ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate) was adjusted to be 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 M. Depending on this concentration, different nucleation rates were obtained, thereby resulting in different particle morphologies.

Using SHS(Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis) method, the optimum synthetic condition of titanium carbonitride was established by controlling the parameters such as relative density of mixture (Ti+C), nitrogen pressure, additive amounts of titanium hydride(TiH1.924) and protecting heat loss. Under 1 atm nitrogen pressure, nitridation ratio with changing relative density of the sample compacts has a maximum (87.2%) at about 55%, and in the case of enveloping the pellet with a quartz tube, the highest nitridation ratio of 90% was obtained at about 68%. At relative density of 55%, nitridation ratio with the nitrogen pressure has a miximum (87.3%) at 7 atm. As the amounts of additive titanium hydride increased, nitridation ratio decreased at below 7 atm nitrogen pressure and, increased at above this pressure until percent of addition percent reached 15 wt% and decreased abruptly upon futher increases in titanium hydride. In the synthesis of TiCxNy by combustion reaction, heat transfer from combustion zone to preheating zone and nitrogen gas penetration into the compact were found to be important factors affecting the TiCxNy formation. It was difficult to obtain high nitridation ratio when the conbustion temperature was either too high or too low, and it seems that the retention of high temperature after a combustion wave sweeped through the reactant mixture pellet is critical to obtain a satisfactory nitridation ratio.

Gasless combustion is a vigorous exothermic reaction ignited directly in solid mixture, similar to Thermit reaction. The gasless combustion synthesis has the advantages of rapid processing, energy saving, low processing cost, and high purity of products. The Ti$Si_x$(x = 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 2.0) systems are prepared by the gasless combustion synthesis without external sintering process. The crystallographic structures of $Ti_5Si_3$, $Ti_5Si_4$ are hexagonal and tetragonal system, respectively. Those of TiSi, $TiSi_2$ are orthorhombic systems. The results of X-ray analysis agree with the JCPDS data. The combustion modes of all combustion reactions are steady state combustions, and the propagation velocities of the combustion waves of $Ti_5Si_3$, $Ti_5Si_4$ and TiSi are greater than 0.6 cm/sec and that of $TiSi_2$ is 0.28 cm/sec.

Titanium cabide, TiC-x mole% Al composites, and functionally-graded materials (FGMs) of TiC-x mole% Al were synthesized by an electrothermal combustion (ETC) method. TiC-70 mole% Al composite was not ignited by indirect tungsten coil heating, but can be synthesized by an electrothermal combustion. The velocity of the combustion wave decreased with increasing addition of Al and increased with an increase in the applied electric field. Functionally-graded TiC-Al materials were made from reactant layers with compositions of Ti+C+x moles Al with x ranging from zero to 70 by an electrothermal combustion. In the FGM products a nearly linear change in composition in the graded region was observed in samples with 0$\leq$ x $\leq$ 70 with x being the mole% Al.

Titinium carbide $(TiC_x)$ was produced by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) method. The morphology and non-stoichiometric number of the SHS product were observed by scanning electron microscopy and neutron diffractometry, respectively. Tubular titanium carbide with hole inside was formed with different non-stoichiometric number (x), which value increased with combustion temperature.

Sub-micrometer $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CrO_3$ powders for ceramic interconnects of solid oxide fuel cells were synthesized by the aqueous combustion process. The materials were prepared from the precursor solutions with different glycine (fuel)-to-nitrate (oxidant) ratios (${\phi}$). Single-phase $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CrO_3$ powders with a perovskite structure were obtained after combustion when ${\phi}$ was equal to or larger than 0.480. Especially, the stoichiometric precursor with ${\phi}$ = 0.555 yielded the spherical $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CrO_3$ particles with 150-250 nm diameters after calcination at $1000^{\circ}C$. When compared with the powders synthesized by the solid-state reaction, the combustion-derived, fine powders exhibited improved sinterability, leading to near-full densification at $1400^{\circ}C$ in oxidizing atmospheres. Moreover, a small quantity of glass additives was used to reduce the sintering temperature, and considerable densification was indeed achieved at temperatures as low as $1100^{\circ}C$.

Nano porous indium tin oxide (ITO) powder was synthesized employing a new route sol-gel combustion hybrid method using Ketjen Black as a fuel. The nano porous ITO powder was composed of $SnCl_4$-98.0% and $In(NO_3)_3{\cdot}XH_2O$-99.999%, produce with a $NH_4OH$ with sol-gel method as a catalyst [1,2]. Crystal structures were examined by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and those results show shaper intensity peak at $25.6^{\circ}(2{\Theta})$ of $SnO_2$ by increased sintering temperature. A particle morphology as well as crystal size was investigated by scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), and the size of the nano porous powder was found to be in the range of 20~30nm. ITO films could controlled by nano porous powder at various sintering temperature in this paper[3,4]. The sol-gel combustion method was offered simple and effective route for the synthesis of nano porous ITO powder[5].
