Metal oxide nanostructures

In conclusion, these data do not allow concluding whether or not Titania nanotubes form better catalysts due to their intrinsic nanostructure, and not simply because they have a high geometrical surface area and provide a good dispersion of supported catalysts. These properties may be found in other Titania based catalysts not having a ID nanostructure. On the other hand, it is also clear from above comments that most of the studies up to now were justified essentially from the curiosity to use a novel support more than from the rational design of advanced catalysts, which use the metal oxide nanostructure as a key component to develop...

In figure 4 we show the Raman spectra of the various metal oxide nanostructures studied by us. Raman bands are found at 332,441 and 1076 cm"1 for the ZnO nanoparticles and nanorods [20], Bulk ZnO shows Raman bands at 330 and 439 cm-1 [20, 21]. The nanoparticles and nanorods of ln203 show Raman bands at 305, 364, 495 and 630 cm-1. 

Wet Chemical Deposition of Metal Nanoparticles and Metal Oxide Nanostructured Films on Electrode Surfaces for Bioelectroanalysis... 

On the other hand, liquid phase deposition (LPD) has been demonstrated as a flexible wet chemical method for preparing metal oxide nanostructured films on electrode surfaces. By the LPD process, electroactive titanium dioxide (Ti02) films were prepared on graphite, glassy carbon and ITO. The electrochemical properties of such LPD Ti02 films were dependent upon the film thickness controlled by the deposition time. The LPD technique was easily combined with other techniques, e.g., seed-mediated growth, which could provide metal/metal oxide composite nanomaterials. Moreover, hybrid nanostructured films were facilely obtained by doping dyes, surfactants and other... 

Metal oxide nanostructures have been fabricated using different methods and preparation conditions. The most promising technique is sol-gel processing in combination with dipcoating technique.This method enables us to prepare spinel oxide thin film electrodes at ambient temperature with high level of doping and large surface area [117,118], The physical and chemical vapor deposition is another technique for metal oxide preparation [119,120],... 

Synthesis of one dimensional, two dimensional and three dimensional nanostructured metal oxides have attracted a great deal of interest for the past many years. Because of their size dependent catalytic and optoelectronic properties, they can be broadly tuned through size variation. Recently, extensive efforts have been made to synthesize one dimensional metal oxides nanostructures such as nanowires, nanobelts, nanotubes, nanorods, nanorings etc [Fig.2], Various methods have been used in literature for development of nanostructured metal oxides of varying shape and sizes are as follows. 

One- and two-dimensional metal oxide nanostructures for chemical sensing... 

While the thermal oxidation of a compact metal surface is usually limited to the growth of an oxide layer with a thickness of a few of nanometers, bulk metal nanostmctures can be fully converted into the corresponding oxide or chalcogenide. Again the relative diffusion rate of metal atoms and the oxidation agent in the oxide determine the oxidation kinetics and structure formation. A topographic transformation to a metal oxide nanostructure is observed when the mobility of the oxidation agent exceeds the one of the metal atoms. When this is not the case, the so-called nanoscale Kirkendall effect (NKE) responsible for the formation of sophisticated hollow nanostructures, such as nanospheres, nanotubes, and nanopeapods, proceeds [2-5].
