Nanoscale Materials in Chemistry

<b>A comprehensive reference on nanoscale materials chemistry—now revised and updated.</b> <p>This extensive text provides twenty-two revised chapters on the preparations, applications, and characterization as well as the environmental and toxicological aspects of nanoscale materials, with an emphasis on the chemistry component. This <i>Second Edition</i> contains core topics including:</p> <ul> <li>New synthetic methods for nanomaterials<br /> </li> <li>Nanostructured solids<br /> </li> <li>Organized two- and three-dimensional nanocrystals<br /> </li> <li>Nanotubes, ribbons, and sheets<br /> </li> <li>Nanocatalysts, sorbents, and energy applications<br /> </li> <li>Unique physical properties of nanomaterials<br /> </li> <li>Photochemistry of nanomaterials<br /> </li> <li>Biological and environmental aspects of nanomaterials</li> </ul> <p>With input from top experts in the field, such as Bruce Dunn, Vicki Grassian, Warren Ford, and Chris Sorensen, among others, <i>Nanoscale Materials in Chemistry</i> presents a balanced survey of different topics in basic nanoparticle science, and includes helpful end-of-chapter questions and answers. Significantly expanded, the <i>Second Edition</i> remains a key text for understanding the fundamentals of nanoscale materials chemistry and a reliable resource for scientists and researchers.</p>
