Perovskite nanoparticles were obtained by treating alkali or alkaline‐earth metals dissolved in benzyl alcohol with transition metal alkoxides, which is a novel and generally applicable route to nanosized perovskites and related materials. In the picture, the synthetic route to BaTiO 3 nanocrystals is superimposed on a high‐resolution TEM image of a single nanoparticle.
