This book provides a deep insight into recent achievements in
synthesis, investigation, and applications of the low-dimensional
chalcohalide nanomaterials. The large number of interesting
phenomena occur in these compounds, including ferroelectric,
piezoelectric, pyroelectric, electrocaloric, Seebeck, photovoltaic,
and ferroelectric-photovoltaic effects. Furthermore, the
outstanding photoelectrochemical, photocatalytic, and
piezocatalytic properties of the chalcohalide nanomaterials have
been revealed. Since many chalcohalide semiconductors possess both
photoactive and ferroelectric properties, they are recognized as
photoferroelectrics. It presents an overview of fabrication of
chalcohalide nanomaterials using different methods: mechanical
milling of bulk crystals, liquid-phase exfoliation, vapor phase
growth, hydro/solvothermal methods, synthesis under ultrasonic
irradiation, microwave synthesis, laser/heat-induced
crystallization, electrospinning, successive ionic layer adsorption
and reaction. The strategies of the chalcohalide nanomaterials
processing for construction of functional devices are presented.
The book describes solution processing for thin films preparation,
spin-coating deposition of polymer composites, solution casting,
films deposition via drop-casting, high pressure compression of
nanowires into the bulk samples, pressure assisted sintering, and
electric field assisted alignment of nanowires. The applications of
the chalcohalide nanomaterials for mechanical/thermal energy
harvesting and energy storage are presented. Major challenges and
emerging trends in fabrication, characterization, and future
applications of low-dimensional chalcohalide nanomaterials are
discussed. A wealth of information for scholars, graduate students,
and engineers involved in research of nanomaterials.
