Tailored Functional Oxide Nanomaterials

Tailored Functional Oxide Nanomaterials A comprehensive exploration of the preparation and application of metal oxide nanomaterials

Tailored Functional Oxide Nanomaterials: From Design to Multi-Purpose Applications delivers a one-of-a-kind discussion of the fundamentals and key applications of metal oxide nanomaterials. The book explores everything from their preparation to the mastering of their characteristics in an interdisciplinary view. The distinguished authors address theoretical research and advanced technological utilizations, illustrating key issues for the understanding and real-world end-uses of the most important class of inorganic materials.

The interplay between the design, preparation, chemico-physical characterization, and functional behaviors of metal oxide nanomaterials in a variety of fields is presented. Up-to-date work and knowledge on these materials is also described, with fulsome summaries of important applications that are relevant to researchers pursuing safety, sustainability, and energy end-uses.

Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to vapor phase growth of metal oxide thin films and nanostructures
• Comprehensive explorations of addressing complex transition metal oxides at the nanoscale, including bottom-up syntheses of nano-objects and properties
• Practical discussions of nanosized oxides supported on mats of carbon nanotubes, including synthesis strategies and performances of Ti/CNT systems

• In-depth examinations of computational approaches to the study of oxide nanomaterials and nanoporous oxides
  Perfect for materials scientists, inorganic chemists, physicists, catalytic chemists, and chemical engineers, Tailored Functional Oxide Nanomaterials will also earn a place in the libraries of solid-state chemists.

Auteur

Chiara Maccato obtained her PhD degree in Chemical Sciences in 1999 at Padova University, Italy. She is currently Professor of General and Inorganic Chemistry for students in Molecular Biology and Environmental Sciences at Padova University. Her research activity is focused on the synthesis and characterization of multi-functional hybrid/inorganic nanosystems. Accordingly, she has been responsible for several research projects/industrial contracts. Since 2005 she is the coordinator of a morphological characterization laboratory and responsible for a research group on multi-functional inorganic nanomaterials. Davide Barreca received his PhD in Chemical Sciences at Padova University, Italy in 2000. Since 2001, he is a Senior Research Scientist at CNR-ICMATE and Contract Professor at Padova University. For his activity on multi-functional inorganic nanosystems, documented by > 290 papers (H-index = 48), he received various awards, such as the Vincenzo Caglioti-Accademia dei Lincei Prize (2008) and the SAPIO Junior Prize (2010). He was local coordinator in national/EU projects, and is member of the International EUROCVD Board and European Editor of Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.
