This groundbreaking book uniquely focuses on the exploration of the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles and their characterization and applications. Metal nanoparticles are the basic elements of nanotechnology as they are the primary source used in the design of nanostructured devices and materials. Nanomaterials can be manufactured either incidentally, with physical or chemical methods, or naturally; and the high demand for them has led to their large-scale production by various toxic solvents or high energy techniques. However, due to the growing awareness of environmental and safety issues, the use of clean, nontoxic and environment-friendly ways to synthesize metal nanoparticles has emerged out of necessity. The use of biological resources, such as microbes, plant parts, vegetable wastes, agricultural wastes, gums, etc., has grown to become an alternative way of synthesizing metal nanoparticles. This biogenic synthesis is green, environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and nontoxic. The current multi-authored book includes recent information and builds a database of bioreducing agents for various metal nanoparticles using different precursor systems. Green Metal Nanoparticles also highlights different simple, cost-effective, environment-friendly and easily scalable strategies, and includes parameters for controlling the size and shape of the materials developed from the various greener methods.

Metal Oxide Nanoparticles in Organic Solvents discusses recent advances in the chemistry involved for the controlled synthesis and assembly of metal oxide nanoparticles, the characterizations required by such nanoobjects, and their size and shape depending properties. In the last few years, a valuable alternative to the well-known aqueous sol-gel processes was developed in the form of nonaqueous solution routes. Metal Oxide Nanoparticles in Organic Solvents reviews and compares surfactant- and solvent-controlled routes, as well as providing an overview of techniques for the characterization of metal oxide nanoparticles, crystallization pathways, the physical properties of metal oxide nanoparticles, their applications in diverse fields of technology, and their assembly into larger nano- and mesostructures. Researchers and postgraduates in the fields of nanomaterials and sol-gel chemistry will appreciate this book’s informative approach to chemical formation mechanisms in relation to metal oxides.

This book combines theoretical description of the metal–oxide interface and its fabrication with the current state of the art in characterization and applications. The book takes a holistic approach that allows the reader to approach this complex field of research from many different angles, to reach new conclusions and develop new methods and materials. Metal oxide supported metal particles are used in multiple environmental and pharmaceutical applications in the areas of materials engineering, physics, and catalysis, but their performance varies depending on the particular synthesis methods, applications, the size and kind of oxides and metal clusters, and surface properties. Metal oxides display various crystalline structures and morphologies (such as nanorods and nanosheets) each of which can result in different properties. While multiple ways of producing and characterizing metal oxide-supported nanomaterials and interfaces have been developed, depending on the application scientists often tend to use familiar methods that are traditionally applicable to their field. This book presents approaches to these materials from a diverse range of perspectives to provide a ready resource for researchers in materials science, engineering, physics, and chemistry to learn about the latest developments in the field. It elaborates how different synthesis techniques from different fields can be applied to metal oxide supported metal nanoparticles, in the belief that presenting knowledge from different perspectives can offer new insights into nanomaterials design. In addition to synthesis and characterization, recent uses of metal oxide supported metal nanoparticles are presented, including applications in the catalysis, photocatalysis, energy, and sensor fields.• Provides a theoretical description of the metal–oxide interface and its atomic phenomena• Describes synthesis methods and the physical background of relevant experimental techniques• Explores advanced characterization of metal oxide supported metal nanoparticles and their use at the forefront of current research• Discusses the main applications of metal oxide supported metal nanoparticles
