Product Description: Inorganic materials show a diverse range of important properties that are desirable for many contemporary, real-world applications. Good examples include recyclable battery cathode materials for energy storage and transport, porous solids for capture and storage of gases and molecular complexes for use in electronic devices...read more

Product Description: Inorganic materials are at the heart of many contemporary real-world applications, in electronic devices, drug delivery, bio-inspired materials and energy storage and transport. In order to underpin novel synthesis strategies both to facilitate these applications and to encourage new ones, a thorough review of current and emerging techniques for materials characterisation is needed...read more

Product Description: In an age of global industrialisation and population growth, thearea of energy is one that is very much in the publicconsciousness. Fundamental scientific research is recognised asbeing crucial to delivering solutions to these issues, particularlyto yield novel means of providing efficient, ideally recyclable,ways of converting, transporting and delivering energy...read more

Product Description: In the past few decades, the increasingly routine use of advancedstructural probes for studying the structure and dynamics of thesolid state has led to some dramatic developments in the field ofporous solids. These materials are fundamental in a diverse rangeof applications, such as shape-selective catalysts forenergy-efficient organic transformations, new media for pollutantremoval, and gas storage materials for energy technologies...read more

With physical properties that often may not be described by thetransposition of physical laws from 3D space across to 2D or even1D space, low-dimensional solids exhibit a high degree ofanisotropy in the spatial distribution of their chemical bonds.This means that they can demonstrate new phenomena such ascharge-density waves and can display nanoparticulate (0D), fibrous(1D) and lamellar (2D) morphologies. This text presents some of the most recent researchinto the synthesis and properties of these solids and covers:Metal Oxide NanoparticlesInorganic Nanotubes and NanowiresBiomedical Applications of Layered Double HydroxidesCarbon Nanotubes and Related StructuresSuperconducting BoridesIntroducing topics such as novel layered superconductors,inorganic-DNA delivery systems and the chemistry and physics ofinorganic nanotubes and nanosheets, this book discusses some of themost exciting concepts in this developing field.Additional volumes in the Inorganic Materials BookSeries:Molecular MaterialsFunctional OxidesPorous MaterialsEnergy MaterialsAll volumes are sold individually or as comprehensive 5Volume Set.

Product Description: The Inorganic Materials series contains five volumes, based on the physical properties of each material: Functional Oxides, Molecular Materials, Low-Dimensional Solids, Porous Materials, and Energy Materials. Each themed volume is a self-contained reference, containing four to five topical review chapters...read more

Product Description: “… the book does an excellent job of puttingtogether several different classes of materials. Many common pointsemerge, and the book may facilitate the development of hybrids inwhich the qualities of the “parents” areenhanced.” –Angew...read more
