YFeO3 and its solid solutions responding to visible light were prepared by a self-propagating combustion method using yttrium nitrate and iron nitrate as precursors and glycine as a fuel.

Composite photocatalysts Fe/ZnO-TiO2 with 12~48 nm in grain size and pure titanium dioxide powder were prepared with self-combustion process of citric acid sol.

33Ge6O26 was synthesized by the sol–gel–self-combustion method using citric acid and ethylene alcohol as chelating reagents and fuels,nitrate as oxidant and ammonia to adjust the pH value of the system.

The mechanism and synthesis metholds of AlN powders by self-propagating high-temperature(SHS) was summarized in this paper.

Synthesis of Bi_(0.5)Na_(0.5)TiO_3 nanopowder with gel-selfcombustion process;

HA powder prepared by the auto-combustion method and its electrophoretic co-deposition on the surface of a titanium plate;

Potassium titanyl phosphate(KTP) nanocrystalline powders were successfully synthesized by auto-combustion of nitrate-citrate gel.

In this paper,a new method to prepare CLST ceramics by auto-combustion of citrate nitrate Gel was studied and V2O5 doped low temperature sintered CLST ceramics was also investigated in the aspects of sintering properties,structure and phase composition,microstructure and dielectric properties.
