Metal Oxide Nanostructures: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications
Description
In recent years, nanostructured materials have attracted wide attention due to their fascinating optical and electrical properties, which make these materials potentially suitable for applications in electronics, optics, and photonics. Some metal oxides have a wide variety of morphologies such as nanowires, nanorods, nanotubes, nanorings, and nanobelts. Synthesis and investigation of these metal oxide nanostructures are beneficial not only for the understanding of the fundamental phenomena in low dimensional systems, but also for development of new-generation nanodevices with high performance.
We invite authors to submit original research as well as review articles on the synthesis, properties, and applications of metal oxide nanostructures.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Synthesis techniques of metal oxide nanostructures: metal organic chemical vapor deposition, solid-vapour phase technique, electrochemical deposition, hydrothermal method, sol-gel method, and so forth
- Properties of metal oxide nanostructures: optical, electrical, mechanical, and ferromagnetic properties
- Applications of metal oxide nanostructures in light-emitting devices, gas sensors, biosensors, solar cells, ultraviolet detectors, photocatalyst, nanocantilevers, field effect transistors, nanoresonators, and so forth
