ZnO Nanostructures and their Applications
Pan Stanford Publishing Pte. Ltd, Oct 2011, Pages: 400
As a multifunctional oxide semiconductor, ZnO has attracted substantial interest for a wide range of applications, including transparent conductors, UV light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes, chemical and biochemical sensing, field-emitting devices, dye-sensitized solar cells, and host for diluted magnetic semiconductor. On the other hand, nanostructures made of various materials, including ZnO, such as nanowires, nanobelts, and nanoribbons, are an emerging class of one-dimensional and quasi-one-dimensional materials that have been extensively studied as fundamental building blocks for nano-scale science and technology.
This book focuses on the various functional properties and potential applications of one-dimensional ZnO nanostructures, from basic principles to our most recent discoveries. It comprises the experimental analysis of various properties of ZnO nanostructures, preparation techniques, research methods, and some promising applications. The areas of focus include ZnO-based gas/biochemical sensing devices, field emitters, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, e-papers, and single-nanowire-based transistors.

Reviews
This is a concise, well-written, and well-illustrated book on the fundamentals of and the latest development of the technological applications of ZnO nanostructures. It is based on the authors' excellent work as well as over 450 major literature references. The book is a must-read for students and researchers involved in photovoltaics, (opto)nanoelectronics, and sensing devices.
