Metal Oxides for Next Generation Optoelectronic, Photonic and Photovoltaic Applications focuses on the optoelectronic, photonic, and photovoltaic behaviors of metallic oxides, closely related phenomena, from elementary principles to the latest findings. Metal oxides have been widely used in various optoelectronic devices, photonics, display devices, smart windows, sensors, optical components, energy-saving, and harvesting devices. Each application requires materials with their own specific properties. By controlling the particle size, shape, crystal structure, one can tune various properties of metal oxides viz. bandgap, absorption properties, conductivity, which alter the material for the specific application. Significant research is already made to optimize the morphology and relevant surface properties of metal oxides, and this book, therefore, summarizes the state of the art in this enormously researched field. In each chapter there is a comprehensive evaluation of the synthesis and characterization of the most relevant metal oxides nanostructures for each application. There is also a focus on methods to tune the materials' properties in order to improve devices performance. Metal Oxides for Next Generation Optoelectronic, Photonic and Photovoltaic Applications is suitable for researchers and practitioners in academia and industry working in the disciplines of materials science and engineering, chemistry and physics.
