Woodhead Publishing Noble Metal-Metal Oxide Hybrid Nanoparticles: Fundamentals and Applications (Micro and Nano Technologies)

Product Description Noble Metal-Metal Oxide Hybrid Nanoparticles: Fundamentals and Applications sets out concepts and emerging applications of hybrid nanoparticles in biomedicine, antibacterial, energy storage and electronics. The hybridization of noble metals (Gold, Silver, Palladium and Platinum) with metal-oxide nanoparticles exhibits superior features when compared to individual nanoparticles. In some cases, metal oxides act as semiconductors, such as nano zinc oxide or titanium oxide nanoparticles, where their hybridization with silver nanoparticles, enhanced significantly their photocatalytic efficiency. The book highlights how such nanomaterials are used for practical applications. Review Presents the noble metal-metal oxide nanomaterials adaptable for applications, including biomedical, antibacterial, energy storage and electronic industry sectors About the Author Assistant Professor in the School of Basic and Applied Sciences at Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, India.
