Preface
Recently, there have been a number of research accomplishments in the field of metal oxide nanocomposites and their synthesis and applications, many of which are summarized in this book. Besides discussing the state of the art in the field, new challenges and opportunities regarding their use are also presented. Along with the structure-property relationships of metal oxide nanocomposites, the book also includes introductory material on nanocomposites, graphene-based metal and metal oxide nanocomposites, carbon nanotube–metal oxide nanocomposites, and metal oxide-based nanocomposites. In addition to the application of metal oxide nanocomposites in photocatalysis and sensors, among the other topics presented are thermal analysis of the properties of metal oxide nanocomposites, semiconducting metal oxides for
