Title

Nanostructures Of Metal Oxides

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the description of nanostructured metal oxides representing the most common, diverse, and richest class of materials in terms of electronic structure and structural, chemical, and physical properties. Among such properties one can mention electrical, optical, optoelectronic, magnetic, thermal, photoelectrochemical (PEC), photovoltaic, mechanical, and catalytic ones. In this chapter nanostructures based on TiO2, Al2O3, ZnO, SnO2, and CuO are reviewed. These nanomaterials with controlled composition, surface terminations, and crystalline structures are important for furture applications in novel devices. Their properties and surface effects due to nanosized dimensions will also be discussed.
