Transition Metal Oxides at Low Dimensions

This book covers enhanced properties and cutting-edge applications of transition metal oxides (TMOs) at low dimensions (2D, 1D, and 0D). The electronic bandgap modification and emergence of novel and fascinating properties due to reduced dimension are discussed in detail. It covers various synthesis procedures and advanced technical tools for the characterization of the TMOs at lower dimensions and enhanced properties of the TMOs at lower dimensions realizing ground-breaking applications in advanced energy storage and energy harvesting, catalysis, and chemical sensing.Features: Covers applications and possible devices made of nanoclusters/quantum dots (QDs) and 1D and 2D TMOs Discusses low-dimensional TMOs for advanced properties Explores next-generation advancement in green energy, gas/chemical sensing and photocatalysis Reviews low-cost TMO-based devices with advantage over electronic-grade transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) Details physics of 1D TMOs including perspectives from spin wave and charge density wave This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in materials science.
