Metal Oxide-Based Heterostructures: Fabrication and Applications

Metal Oxide-Based Heterostructures: Fabrication and Applications provides information on synthesis strategies and structural and hierarchical and morphological characteristics of metal oxide heterostructures and their diverse applications. The book begins with an introduction to the various multidimensional heterostructures and synthesis aspects and techniques used to control the formation of heterostructures. Then, the impact of synthesis routes on the formation of mixed metal oxide heterostructures and their properties are analyzed. The effect of non-metal doping, metal doping and composites of metal oxide heterostructures on properties of heterostructures is also addressed, including opportunities for optimization of the material’s performance for specific applications. Special attention is given to the surface characteristics of the metal oxide heterostructures and their impact on the performance of the material and the applications of metal oxide heterostructures in various fields such as environmental remediation, sensing, organic catalysis, photovoltaics, light emitting materials and hydrogen production.
