A process for the preparation of transition metal/ceramic composites has been developed. This method was initially used to prepare silver/Y BaCuO composites and is currently being used to prepare other transition metal/ceramic superconductors and metal nitrides. An ammonium soap of 2-ethylhexonate is used to prepare a metallorganic in solution that is rapidly gelled or precipitated around a suspended and dispersed ceramic. This step is followed by a low temperature heat treatment in hydrogen or oxygen to produce the desired composite.
