Glass and Ceramics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

The study reviews the current progress in the sol-gel method for the synthesis of ferroelectric powders, thin films, and rods in the lead zirconate-titanate system. In addition, it examines methods for obtaining controlled particle morphology, primarily rod-like. The synthetic approaches in the sol-gel process and heat treatment conditions for obtaining lead zirconate-titanate ceramics of pre-defined morphology are the primary focus of the present review.
