A Review on Thermo‐Kinetic Behavior of Some Inorganic–Organic Hybrid Material

ABSTRACT Thermal analysis techniques are helpful in determining the thermal stability of inorganic–organic hybrid material. The inorganic–organic hybrid materials play a very crucial role in applications like adsorption, biomedical applications, energy storage, catalysis, and many other fields. The thermal analysis techniques help to explore kinetic parameters, including activation energy ( E a ), pre‐exponential factor ( A ), rate constant ( r ), and reaction order ( n ). Numerous kinetic approaches based on non‐isothermal processes have been developed to evaluate these parameters. However, the accuracy of the methods depends on various factors like instrument setup, experimental design, data collection, and even the reaction environment. Therefore, selecting an appropriate non‐isothermal approach for thermal reactions requires contrast analysis and a thorough literature review. This study aims to provide an overview of various kinetic techniques for non‐isothermal analysis and their applications in processes such as crystallization, solid‐state phase changes, thermal decomposition, ignition, and curing. The review explores the fundamental concepts of kinetic theory, highlighting how heating rates and temperature dependencies influence reaction kinetics. The kinetic parameters can be quickly and efficiently determined by fitting thermal analysis data using different kinetic methods. Additionally, it examines a range of models both empirical and mechanistic used for kinetic data analysis.
