Description
Current oxide nanomaterials knowledge to draw from and buildon
Synthesis, Properties, and Applications of Oxide Nanomaterialssummarizes the existing knowledge in oxide-based materialsresearch. It gives researchers one comprehensive resource thatconsolidates general theoretical knowledge alongside practicalapplications. Organized by topic for easy access, thisreference:
* Covers the fundamental science, synthesis, characterization,physicochemical properties, and applications of oxidenanomaterials
* Explains the fundamental aspects (quantum-mechanical andthermodynamic) that determine the behavior and growth mode ofnanostructured oxides
* Examines synthetic procedures using top-down and bottom-upfabrication technologies involving liquid-solid or gas-solidtransformations
* Discusses the sophisticated experimental techniques andstate-of-the-art theory used to characterize the structural andelectronic properties of nanostructured oxides
* Describes applications such as sorbents, sensors, ceramicmaterials, electrochemical and photochemical devices, and catalystsfor reducing environmental pollution, transforming hydrocarbons,and producing hydrogen
With its combination of theory and real-world applications plusextensive bibliographic references, Synthesis, Properties, andApplications of Oxide Nanomaterials consolidates a wealth ofcurrent, complex information in one volume for practicing chemists,physicists, and materials scientists, and for engineers andresearchers in government, industry, and academia. It's also anoutstanding reference for graduate students in chemistry, chemicalengineering, physics, and materials science.
