Hierarchical Micro/Nanostructured Materials : Fabrication, Properties, and Applications

This book begins with a detailed discussion of the methods of mass production for hierarchical micro/nanostructured powders. It then proceeds to address structurally enhanced adsorption and photocatalytic performances, describe strategies for the fabrication of hierarchical micro/nanostructured object arrays and their devices, and examine the surface wettability, optical properties, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effects, and gas-sensing performances of the micro/nanostructured arrays. In its cutting-edge coverage, the text explores the use of hierarchical micro/nanostructured materials in environmental remediation and detection devices, commenting on future trends and applications.

Hierarchical Micro/Nanostructured Materials: Fabrication, Properties, and Applications presents the latest fabrication, properties, and applications of hierarchical micro/nanostructured materials in two sections—powders and arrays.

After a general introduction to hierarchical micro/nanostructured materials, the first section begins with a detailed discussion of the methods of mass production for hierarchical micro/nanostructured powders, including structure-directed solvothermal routes, template-etching strategies, and electrospinning technologies. It then proceeds to address structurally enhanced adsorption and photocatalytic performances.

The second section describes strategies for the fabrication of hierarchical micro/nanostructured object arrays and their devices, such as modified colloidal lithographies-based solution and electrodeposition. It also examines the structure-dependent properties and performances of the micro/nanostructured arrays, including surface wettability, optical properties, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effects, and gas-sensing performances.

In its cutting-edge coverage, Hierarchical Micro/Nanostructured Materials: Fabrication, Properties, and Applications explores the use of hierarchical micro/nanostructured materials in environmental remediation and detection devices, commenting on future trends and applications in catalysis, integrated nanophotonics, optical devices, super-high density storage media, sensors, nanobiotechnology, SERS substrates, and more.
