Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a iconic semiconductor oxide due to its wide direct band gap of 3.3 eV and large exciton binding energy of 60 meV at room temperature, high electron mobility (155 cm2.V-1.S-1), ZnO is recognized as a promising optoelectronic material in the blue-ultraviolet (UV) region and an excellent candidate for a dye-sensitized oxide semiconductor solar cell and field emitter. By controlling the reaction conditions during heterogeneous deposition of ZnO from aqueous solutions, tunable nanostructures have been readily fabricated. The potential application of nanomaterials depends on the shape of nanostructure, and controlled morphology can modulate the properties of nanomaterials. Hierarchical ZnO nanostructures reported here might provide a good candidate for solar cells, gas sensor and field emission applications. In the book we have reported synthesis of 0D, 1D, 2D, 3D and multidimensional ZnO nanostructures like nanoparticles, nanorods, nanoneedles, nanotowers, nanoflowers, nanosyringes, bottle brush, cake and cactus-like by aqueous chemical route at relatively low temperature and cost. The synthesized nanostructures have been used for dye and quantum dot sensitized sola

This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zinc oxide has attracted considerable attention due to its good optical, electrical, and piezoelectric properties and its potential applications in diverse areas. The novel functions of ZnO nanostructures arrays have been revealed successfully in the solar cells, gas sensors, piezoelectric, photodetectcors, LED, field emitters and so on. Films with well-aligned ZnO nanorods or nanowires may exhibit much larger surface areas than ZnO films prepared from randomly oriented nanoparticles. A plethora of physical and chemical methods have been used for the synthesis of ZnO nanostructures including physical and chemical techniques. Electrodeposition is of particular interest due to low cost, environmental friendly, and feasibility of room temperature growth. The central idea of this work is to test the applicability of simple and inexpensive electrodeposition technique as an update on previously studied methods for the synthesis of nanocrystalline ZnO thin films for solar cell. In this direction the attempts were made to fabricate zinc oxide nanocrystalline thin films by varying various process parameters and by using novel approaches, as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Versatility, extended compositional ranges, better homogeneity, lesser energy consumption, and requirement of nonexpensive equipments have boosted the use of sol-gel process on top of the popularity in the synthesis of nanosystems. The sol-gel technique has not only revolutionized oxide ceramics industry and/or material science but has also extended widely into multidimensional applications. The book Recent Applications in Sol-Gel Synthesis comprises 14 chapters that deal mainly with the application-oriented aspects of the technique. Sol-gel prepared metal oxide (MO) nanostructures like nanospheres, nanorods, nanoflakes, nanotubes, and nanoribbons have been employed in biomedical applications involving drug deliveries, mimicking of natural bone, and antimicrobial activities. The possibility of controlling grain size in aerogel and preparation of ultrahigh-temperature ceramic (UHTC)-based materials, fluorescent glasses, ultraviolet photosensors, and photocatalysts have been discussed in detail by the experts in the field. The usefulness of sol-gel materials as active GRIN, as textile finisher, and as leather modifier with water-repellent and oil-resistive properties would be an incentive for researchers keen to pursue the field.

This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present work deals with the investigation of Nanocrystalline semiconducting oxide thin films. We have particularly undertaken the investigation of undoped and Al, In and Co doped ZnO films. In the present work Zinc oxide films were fabricated by a homemade chemical spray pyrolysis system (CSPT) equipped with an optical set-up ensuring the in-situ control of the film growth. This CSPT has been found to be easy, inexpensive and well adapted for mass fabrication. A number of ZnO samples have been prepared by using different type of dopants having different dopant concentrations.The above prepared films have been characterized for their structural, morphological, electrical and optical properties as a function of doping concentrations and effect of change in dopants as well as doping concentrations on the physical and structural properties of ZnO films studied. In another piece of work, we have investigated the effect of ion implantation in Si particularly, the nature and concentration of defects by using positron annihilation techniques. . The results and findings of the above studies have been reported in the respective chapters.
Download or read book Multifunctional Oxide Based Materials From Synthesis to Application written by Teofil Jesionowski and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book deals with novel aspects and perspectives in metal oxide and hybrid material fabrication. The contributions are mainly focused on the search for a new group of advanced materials with designed physicochemical properties, especially an expanded porous structure and defined surface activity. The proposed technological procedures result in an enhanced activity of the synthesized hybrid materials, which is of great importance when considering their potential fields of application. The use of such materials in different technological disciplines, including aspects associated with environmental protection, allows for the verification of the proposed synthesis method. Thus, it can be stated that those aspects are of interdisciplinary character and may be located at the interface of three scientific disciplines—chemistry, materials science, and engineering—as well as environmental protection. Furthermore, the presented scientific scope is in some way an answer to the continuous demand for such types of materials and opens new perspectives for their practical use
