Supercritical water, which forms a homogeneous phase including organic compounds, offers an environmentally benign reaction space for producing organic-inorganic hybrid materials. Supercritical hydrothermal synthesis enables the surface modification of metal oxide nanoparticles using organic compounds. Such organic-inorganic hybrid materials provide trade-off functions such as high thermal conductivity and electrical resistance. The surface modification also affects exposed surfaces and catalytic activity of nanoparticles.
