Introduction Surfactant-directed Synthesis of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Solvent-directed Synthesis of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Chemical Formation Mechanisms (Organic Reaction Pathways) Crystallisation Mechanisms Characterisation Physical Properties Assembly Applications Conclusions and Outlook. Includes bibliographical references and index. The synthesis of nanoparticles with control over particle size, shape, and crystalline structure, has long been one of the main objectives in chemistry - and yet these materials are only beginning to be used in nanotechnology. Metal oxides play a significant role in many fields of technology including catalysis, sensing, energy storage and conversion, and electroceramics. It is expected that they could show enhanced or even new properties at the nanoscale. Metal Oxide Nanoparticles in Organic Solvents discusses recent advances in the chemistry involved for the controlled synthesis and assemb |
