Solid State Synthesis of Mixed Metal Oxides is a study that aims to synthesize new compounds from combinations of metals through solid-state synthesis and heat treatment. The researchers obtained some oxide powders but not the crystal structures they expected. They synthesized various ternary and quaternary combinations of metals from groups 13, 14, 15 and chalcogens in a furnace, then analyzed the results microscopically. Future work will involve trying new combinations and further analysis to obtain novel compounds with unique properties.
