Chemically Deposited Nanocrystalline Metal Oxide Thin Films

This book guides beginners in the areas of thin film preparation, characterization, and device making, while providing insight into these areas for experts. As chemically deposited metal oxides are currently gaining attention in development of devices such as solar cells, supercapacitors, batteries, sensors, etc., the book illustrates how the chemical deposition route is emerging as a relatively inexpensive, simple, and convenient solution for large area deposition. The advancement in the nanostructured materials for the development of devices is fully discussed.

• Provides detailed and simplified fabrication techniques with images;
• Includes comprehensive discussion on the structural, optical, morphological, electrical, sensing, and electrochemical properties of the metal oxides;
• Explains how and where the materials can be used.
