  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Theoretical and Experimental Sonochemistry Involving Inorganic Systems

Abstract

Sonochemical synthesis, an energy efficient processing technique to induce a variety of physical and chemical transformations is on the rise. A variety of simple and mixed metal oxides and sulfides have been obtained using this technique. The present chapter reviews the types of oxides and sulfides obtained in the last few years.
