Post-synthesis TGA - Before Calcination: If the synthesis process involves calcination or any other thermal treatment, it can be useful to perform TGA on the synthesized material before calcination. This allows for the characterization of the as-synthesized material's thermal stability, decomposition pathways, and volatile content. Understanding these properties can help in determining appropriate calcination conditions and prevent undesired reactions during the thermal treatment. Post-synthesis TGA - After Calcination: Alternatively, TGA can be conducted on the material after calcination to evaluate the effectiveness of the calcination process, assess changes in thermal stability, phase transformations, and residual impurities. This information is crucial for verifying the success of the synthesis and ensuring that the desired properties of the final product are achieved.

It is advisable to conduct TGA after synthesizing the material. The need for TGA before or after calcination depends on the objective of your work.
