Nanostructured Zinc Oxide [EPUB ebook] 
Synthesis, Properties and Applications

Nanostructured Zinc Oxide covers the various routes for the synthesis of different types of nanostructured zinc oxide including; 1D (nanorods, nanowires etc.), 2D and 3D (nanosheets, nanoparticles, nanospheres etc.). This comprehensive overview provides readers with a clear understanding of the various parameters controlling morphologies. The book also reviews key properties of Zn O including optical, electronic, thermal, piezoelectric and surface properties and techniques in order to tailor key properties. There is a large emphasis in the book on Zn O nanostructures and their role in optoelectronics. Zn O is very interesting and widely investigated material for a number of applications. This book presents up-to-date information about the Zn O nanostructures-based applications such as gas sensing, p H sensing, photocatalysis, antibacterial activity, drug delivery, and electrodes for optoelectronics. – Reviews methods to synthesize, tailor, and characterize 1D, 2D, and 3D zinc oxide nanostructured materials- Discusses key properties of zinc oxide nanostructured materials including optical, electronic, thermal, piezoelectric, and surface properties- Addresses most relevant zinc oxide applications in optoelectronics such as light-emitting diodes, solar cells, and sensors
