Inorganic and metallic nanotubular materials: recent technologies and applications

This book describes the synthesis, characterization and applications of inorganic and metallic nanotubular materials. It cover a wide variety of nanotubular materials excluding carbon nanotubes, ranging from metal oxides, sulfides and nitrides such as titanium oxide, tungsten sulfide, and boron nitride, as well as platinum and other noble-metals to unique nanotubes consisting of water, graphen or fulleren. Based on their structural and compositional characteristics, these nanotubular materials are of importance for their potential applications in electronic devices, photocatalysts, dye-sensitized solar cells, nanothermometer, electrodes for fuel cells and batteries, sensors, and reinforcing fillers for plastics, among others. Such materials are also having a great impact on future developments, including renewable energy sources as well as highly efficient energy-conversion and energy-saving technologies. This book will be of particular interest to graduate students in chemistry and physics as wellas experts in the fields of nanotechnology, material science and inorganic and solid-state chemistry. Covers the major developments in the various kinds ofinorganic nanotubes Integrates physics and materials science aspects Explainsthe potential of inorganic nanotubes for future technologies Serves as a valuable reference to researchers and self-study text to graduate students INDICE: 1.
