Currently, the most common way to sinter SrTiO3 is using traditional high temperature methods, with the base material requiring temperatures > 1400 C to densify to >95% of theoretical 21. Whilst effective, this type of high temperature processing has a number of inherent drawbacks such as high energy costs and sometimes uncontrolled grain growth, meaning that any potentially desirable nanostructures (e.g. for the control of thermal conductivity in thermoelectric materials)22 are lost.
