Abstract: Development in recent years,definition,classification,and advantages of microreactors were briefly introduced.Application progress of microreactors in synthesis of inoganic materials was reviewed and the influence of some controllable factors on products during the synthesis process were discussed in detail.Differences between inorganic materials prepared by certain microreactor and by batch reactor were emphatically elaborated.Prospect of the application of microreactors in synthesis of inorganic materials was also forecasted.

Key words: microreactor, microchannel, inorganic materials
