Metal Oxide Nanocomposites

Discusses the state-of-the-art in metal oxide nanocomposites and presents new challenges and opportunities regarding their use. There have been a number of recent research accomplishments in the field of metal oxide nanocomposites and their synthesis and applications, many of which are summarized in this book. Besides discussing the state-of-the-art in the field, new challenges and opportunities regarding their use are also presented. Along with the structure-property relationships of metal oxide nanocomposites, the book also includes introductory material on nanocomposites, graphene-based metal and metal oxide nanocomposites, carbon nanotube-metal oxide nanocomposites, and metal oxide-based nanocomposites. In addition to the application of metal oxide nanocomposites in photocatalysis and sensors, among the other topics presented are thermal analysis of the properties of metal oxide nanocomposites, semiconducting metal oxides for photocatalytic and gas-sensing applications, applications of metal oxide-based nanocomposites, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) based on polymer nanocomposites, and metal oxide nanocomposites for water purification. Audience The book will be read by inorganic chemists, nanotechnologists, polymer and materials scientists, as well as engineers in industry and R&D laboratories working in the area of metal oxide nanocomposites.
