This paper presents some investigations on the hydrothermal synthesis of nano-CuCrO2. Several successively altered synthesis protocols are used to investigate effects of changing the mineralizer amount, lowering reaction temperature and addition of a reducing agent. As a result modified protocols for the hydrothermal synthesis of pure and Mg-doped CuCrO2 are presented. Different washing and annealing steps are used to perform a comparative XRD-study on these materials.
