1. A method for synthesis of crystalline material comprising:
forming a sol-gel composition of precursors, reagents, water and water-soluble oxidized disulfide oil (ODSO) effective for the crystalline material; and
heating the sol-gel composition under conditions and for a time effective to form a precipitate suspended in a supernatant, wherein the precipitate comprises a crystalline material, and wherein
the crystalline material is characterized by a relative crystallinity that is greater than that of a comparative material, and/or crystalline material is formed at a crystallization rate that is greater than that of a comparative material, and wherein the comparative material is formed of approximately equivalent composition of components except for water instead of the added ODSO, and under approximately equivalent conditions and time.
