Abstract
. Systematic exploration of synthesis parameters such as temperature, heating rate, solvent and reaction time reveal that they all affect the resulting product. In general, the solvent based reaction paths are different from reports on solid state calcination studies. This underlines that the solvent is an active part of the solvothermal reactions and to a high degree determines different formation mechanisms.
