Advances in Metal Oxides and Their Composites for Emerging Applications

초록

Different metal oxide nanostructures can be composited with semiconducting or insulating metal oxides to develop new functionalities, which are very capable for a broad range of applications. Composite metal oxides have a distinct place in nanoscience and nanotechnology because of their extraordinary physiochemical properties. This chapter provides an overview of the recent advancement in the synthesis and characterization of metal oxide-based composite nanostructures. Composite metal oxide nanostructures are applicable in catalysis, sensors, biomedical, and environmental remediation. Composite metal oxides provide a promising way for the development of functional nanostructures. Nanotechnology encourages researchers to develop the modified synthesis of structure-diversified nanostructures and their combined metal–oxide nanostructures. © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
