Microwave‐hydrothermal (M‐H) processing was compared with conventional‐hydrothermal (C‐H) processing in the crystallization of BiFeO 3 and CsAl 2 PO 6 phases. The presence of the microwave field led to accelerated kinetics of the crystallization of both these phases as detected by powder X‐ray diffraction. The acceleration of reaction rates under microwave field is expected to lead to energy savings during ceramic processing.
