Colloidal Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications is a one-stop reference for anyone with an interest in the fundamentals, synthesis and applications of this interesting materials system. The book presents a simple, effective and detailed discussion on colloidal metal oxide nanoparticles. It begins with a general introduction of colloidal metal oxide nanoparticles, then delves into the most relevant synthesis pathways, stabilization procedures, and synthesis and characterization techniques. Final sections discuss promising applications, including bioimaging, biosensing, diagnostic, and energy applications-i.e., solar cells, supercapacitors and environment applications-i.e., the treatment of contaminated soil, water purification and waste remediation.

• Provides the most comprehensive resource on the topic, from fundamentals, to synthesis and characterization techniques
• Presents key applications, including biomedical, energy, electronic and environmental
• Discusses the most relevant techniques for synthesis, patterning and characterization
