This book serves as a guide for beginners in the areas of thin films preparations, characterization, and device making, while also providing insight into the area for the experts. The advancement in the nanostructured materials for the development of devices is fully explored by the authors. Consistent with chemically deposited metal oxides' increasing prominence for development of devices such supercapacitors, batteries and sensors, the book is idea for research engineers and technical staff if fabrication facilities.

Fabian I. Ezema is a Professor at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. He obtained a PhD and MSc in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and a BSc from the then Anambra State University of Science and Technology, Enugu. His researches are on several areas of Materials Science: synthesis and characterizations of particles and thin films materials through chemical routes with emphasis on energy applications. He is interested in materials for thin film solar cells fabrication and nanoparticle synthesis. For the last 15 years, he has been working on the nano/submicron-sized materials for energy conversion and storage (cathodes, anodes, supercapacitors, thin film solar cells, DSSC, etc.), including novel methods of synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of the electrochemical and optical properties. He was a CV Raman Fellow at the Shivaji University, Kolhapur, India, in 2011 and MIF Fellow at Tokyo University of Science, Japan, in 2013. He is avisiting professor to NRSEMT (MATECSS UNESCO Chair) in Varennes, Quebec, Canada, and iThemba Labs, South Africa. He is also a Fellow of UNESCO-UNISA South Africa Chair in Nanosciences and Nanotechnology (U2ACN2). He was awarded the University of South Africa (UNISA) visiting researcher program (VRP). Fabian is a senate representative to National Center for Energy Research and Development (NCERD), University of Nigeria, and due to his commitment to research and international visibility was appointed Pioneer Acting Director, International Office of the University of Nigeria after the approval of the office by the University Senate. He has served as Coordinator, Natural Science Unit, School of General Studies, UNN. He is the Coordinator of Nano Research Group, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. He is the pioneer Dean, Faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences, Coal City University Enugu, Nigeria. Fabian has published over 180 high-impact papers in various national and international journals and gave over 50 talks at various conferences, workshops, and seminars. His h-index is 50, i10 index of 213 with over 9608 citations as in google scholar.
