Solution Methods for Metal Oxide Nanostructures reviews solution processes that are used for synthesizing 1D, 2D and 3D metal oxide nanostructures in either thin film or in powder form for various applications. Wet-chemical synthesis methods deal with chemical reactions in the solution phase using precursors at proper experimental conditions. Wet-chemical synthesis routes offer a high degree of controllability and reproducibility for 2D nanomaterial fabrication. Solvothermal synthesis, template synthesis, self-assembly, oriented attachment, hot-injection, and interface-mediated synthesis are the main wet-chemical synthesis routes for 2D nanomaterials. Solution Methods for Metal Oxide Nanostructures also addresses the thin film deposition metal oxides nanostructures, which plays a very important role in many areas of chemistry, physics and materials science. Each chapter includes information on a key solution method and their application in the design of metal oxide nanostructured materials with optimized properties for important applications. The pros and cons of the solution method and their significance and future scope is also discussed in each chapter. Readers are provided with the fundamental understanding of the key concepts of solution synthesis methods for fabricating materials and the information needed to help them select the appropriate method for the desired application.

Spinal Ferrite Nanostructures for Energy Storage Devices provide up-to-date coverage of ferrite properties and applications, with a particular focus on electrochemical and electrocatalytic energy storage applications. The book covers the basics of ferrites, including synthesis methods, structures and properties in the first few chapters, focusing on topics such as the properties of ferrites and the electrochemical and electro catalytic energy storage applications of unitary, binary and mixed ferrite nanostructures. Limitations for using ferrites in these devices are also covered. This book is an important reference source for materials scientists and engineers who want to gain a greater understanding of how ferrites are being used to enhance energy storage devices.
