Precise Synthesis of Well ‐defined Inorganic‐organic Hybrid Particles

Abstract Synthesis of hybrid particles toward precisely designed hierarchical nanoarchitectures is summarized. In order to satisfy the demands for a variety of materials’ performances, the selection of materials, composition and synthesis is carefully done. Flow reactors are one of the useful synthetic means to prepare hybrid materials, especially those with hierarchically and precisely designed multi‐components hybrid particles, owing to the efficient mixing and heat exchange in the reactor as well as its connectable (both parallel and sequential) feature. In this review article, after the summary of the preparation of hybrids based on oxides and organics through conventional batch reactors, the application of flow reactors to the preparation of various hybrid particles is introduced to highlight the present status and future possibility of the flow reactor synthesis. The application of flow reactors to prepare well‐defined hybrid particles composed of inorganic oxide and organic compound is summarized. Thanks to the homogeneous reaction achieved by a flow reactor, compositional and structural homogeneity and, on the other hand, complex hierarchical structure are achieved. Flow reactor syntheses of some metal‐organic frameworks and graphene‐based hybrids are also introduced.
