Description
The first and foremost purpose of this book is to encapsulate the state-of-the-art in multidisciplinary research on the metal chalcogenide semiconductor nanostructures (nanocrystals, nanoparticles, nanorods, nanowires, nanobelts, nanoflowers, nanoribbons etc. Tailoring of size, shape, surface area, architecture and assembly properties of nanostructured materials are fundamental steps towards their study in basic research and their realization in advanced and miniatured nanosytems. Semiconductor metal chalcogenide nanostructures are emerging materials for various applications such as nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, energy storage and conversion, catalysis, sensors, actuators, biomedical applications, photocatalysis, microelectronics and so on.In this book we will focus on the synthesis of metal chalcogendie nanostructures, their growth mechanism, optical, electrical, and other important properties and their applications in different diverging fields like photovoltaics, hydrogen production, theromelectrics, lithium battery, energy storage, photocatalysis, sensors.
