Yes, bulk heterogeneity can be controlled to some extent through careful design and optimization of the synthesis process:
Optimized Synthesis: Using controlled precipitation, sol-gel methods, or hydrothermal synthesis can help achieve more uniform bulk structures. Post-Synthesis Treatments: Techniques such as calcination, reduction, or doping can be used to modify the bulk properties. Characterization and Feedback: Continuous monitoring and feedback during the synthesis process can help in achieving desired bulk properties.
