Abstract
Compositions made by metallothermal reduction from crystalline materials and methods of producing such compositions are provided. The compositions have novel crystalline structures in the form of three-dimensional scaffolds. Additionally, the compositions possess unusual properties that indicate possible applications in numerous applications.
Claims15
A method of forming an essentially oxygen free crystalline composition comprising:
- a. subjecting an oxygen-containing crystalline precursor to a metallothermic process;
- and
- b. removing reaction by-products to give an essentially oxygen-free crystalline composition.
