Metal Oxide Nanomaterials for Chemical Sensors 2013th Edition

From the reviews:

“Metal Oxide Nanomaterials for Chemical Sensors is a monograph that presents the state of the art in the application of metal oxide nanostructured materials for chemical sensing. The text can be described as the result of the intersection between materials science, surface science, and analytical science, so it can be considered highly recommendable for a broad readership, including academic and industrial researchers in such fields.” (Antonio Doménech-Carbó, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 405, 2013)

This book presents a state-of-the-art account and critical analysis of of the science and technology of metal oxide nanomaterials based chemical sensors. It documents the impact of nanotechnology on sensor science by leading research laboratories and the implementation of metal oxide nanomaterial research methodologies for the discovery and optimization of new sensor materials and sensing systems. The book provides a detailed description of (i) The current understanding of metal oxide sensing principles, (ii) Advances in metal oxide nanomaterial synthesis and multi-material architectures as well as the interplay of structure/composition and function (iii) Analysis of techniques utilized for the development of advanced metal oxide nanomaterial sensors, thus enabling a broad impact into sensor applications, (iv) Advances, challenges and insights gained from the in situ/ex situ analysis of reaction mechanisms and miniaturization, and (v) Technical development and materials integration challenges in the fabrication of sensing arrays and devices.
