Chemical Synthesis of Functional Nanomaterials

Nanomaterials are in the forefront of research because of their unique multi-functional properties. Several methods are now a days being developed by the researchers to synthesize nanomaterials. Chemical synthesis process is a very popular and low cost method to synthesize nanomaterials. This book describes the chemical synthesis of nanomaterials in details with the specific reaction mechanism. A special chapter on various characterization of nanomaterials is also included. The basic methodologies have been discussed with reference to zinc oxide. I have also discussed the growth of various types of ZnO nanostructures. The optical absorption, emission properties and related phenomenon have also been discussed. This will be very useful to the researchers working in the area of materials science and optoelectronic devices.
