Nanomaterials, their synthesis, and property studies have been an
obsession with modern current physicists, chemist, and materials
scientists for their vast array of technological implications and
the remarkable way their properties are modified or enhanced when
the size dimensions are reduced to the realm of nanometers.
Although nanomaterials, for a lot of practical purposes have been
in existence since the remotest past of civilization, it is only
in the last few decades that the field has been gaining the
attention that it deserves from the scientific and industrial
fraternity. A lot of this has to do with the immense improvement
we made in tools to study and characterize these materials.

2 and many more being an integral part to a variety
of technological advancements and industrial applications. From
green power issues like photovoltaic cells to rechargeable
batteries, from drug delivery agents to antimicrobial and
cosmetic products, from superconductor materials to
semiconductors and insulators, metal oxides have been omnipresent
in terms of both commercial prerogatives and research highlights.
This book is solely devoted towards this special section of
nanomaterials with an aim to partially access the science
pertaining to the oxides of metals.
