This review highlights the significance of flash sintering, a photothermal route, in reducing graphene oxide (GO) films. Essentially, extensive efforts are devoted to form graphene electrodes due to its distinctive properties, such as high surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, and optical transparency, owing to which it finds widespread use in energy storage devices, wearable electronics, sensors, and optoelectronics. Thus, rapidly rising market demands for these applications necessitate the need of a technique offering ease of manufacturability and scalability for production of graphene electrodes. The solution-processed graphene electrodes (SPGEs) are promising to fulfil these requirements. Particularly, SPGEs are fabricated by reducing GO film to graphene/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by utilizing any reduction method, such as chemical, solvothermal, electrochemical, etc. Lately, flash sintering has garnered substantial attention as a promising reduction route for rapid, clean, and green production of graphene electrodes. This review briefly describes the underlying principle, mechanism, and parameters of flash sintering to develop an insight and advantages of this method over extensively used reduction methods. The review is a systematic summarization of the electrical, optical, and microstructural properties of rGO films/electrodes fabricated using this technique.

Ceramics are widely perceived as brittle. Recent research showed that the deformability of brittle ceramics can be improved by introducing defects, , dislocations and stacking faults, into the ceramics using flash sintering. However, many ceramic materials, including TiO, have limited room-temperature dislocation mobility.

Heating techniques have underpinned the progress of the material and manufacturing industries. However, the explosive development of nanomaterials and micro/nanodevices has raised more requirements for the heating technique, including but not limited to high efficiency, low cost, high controllability, good usability, scalability, universality, and eco-friendliness. Carbothermal shock (CTS), a heating technique derived from traditional electrical heating, meets these requirements and is advancing at a high rate.

This study focused on addressing the challenges associated with the incompatibility between sulfide solid electrolytes and Ni-rich cathode active materials (CAMs) in all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries. To resolve these issues, protective layers have been explored for Ni-rich materials. Lithium lanthanum titanate (LLTO), a perovskite-type material, is recognized for its excellent chemical stability and ionic conductivity, which render it a potential protective layer in CAMs.

Compared to conventional heating techniques, the carbon carrier-based rapid Joule heating (CJH) method is a new class of technologies that offer significantly higher heating rates and ultra-high temperatures. Over the past few decades, CJH technology has spawned several techniques with similar principles for different application scenarios, including ultra-fast high temperature sintering (UHS), carbon thermal shock (CTS), and flash Joule heating (FJH), which have been widely used in material preparation research studies. Functional nanomaterials are a popular direction of research today, mainly including nanometallic materials, nanosilica materials, nanoceramic materials and nanocarbon materials.
