To date, conventional solid-state techniques are unable to provide this level of control. Herein, we present a synthetic approach in which dense inorganic thermoelectric materials are produced by the consolidation of well-defined nanoparticle powders. The idea is that controlling the characteristics of the powder allows the chemical transformations that take place during consolidation to be guided, ultimately yielding inorganic solids with targeted features. Different from conventional methods, syntheses in solution can produce particles with unprecedented control over their size, shape, crystal structure, composition, and surface chemistry. However, to date, most works have focused only on the low-cost benefits of this strategy. In this perspective, we first cover the opportunities that solution processing of the powder offers, emphasizing the potential structural features that can be controlled by precisely engineering the inorganic core of the particle, the surface, and the organization of the particles before consolidation. We then discuss the challenges of this synthetic approach and more practical matters related to solution processing. Finally, we suggest some good practices for adequate knowledge transfer and improving reproducibility among different laboratories.","lang":"eng"}],"oa":1,"has_accepted_license":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","related_material":{"record":[{"status":"public","relation":"dissertation_contains","id":"12885"}]},"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"file_date_updated":"2023-01-30T07:35:09Z","publication":"Chemistry of Materials","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0897-4756"],"eissn":["1520-5002"]},"doi":"10.1021/acs.chemmater.2c01967","month":"09","department":[{"_id":"MaIb"}],"date_published":"2022-09-20T00:00:00Z","quality_controlled":"1","scopus_import":"1","article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","date_updated":"2023-08-04T09:38:26Z","intvolume":"        34","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","citation":{"ieee":"C.
