Recent advances in the synthesis of inorganic materials by the solvothermal reactions using high temperature and high pressure aqueous and/or nonaqueous solvents were reviewed. Especially, the formation of monodispersed particles, single crystals and thin films by the solvothermal reactions using metal chelate precursors and/or concentrated gel precursors were introduced. The control of the powder agglomeration using nonaqueous solvents followed by supercritical drying was also introduced.
