Thin Film Metal Oxide Nanocomposite: Synthesis to Innovative Applications via Chemical Route

Abstract

Metal-oxide nanocomposites are promising in the fields of nanotechnology and nanoscience for a variety of application purposes, including sensors, supercapacitors, solar cells, etc. The increase in its practical application efficiencies may be due to these increased features. This chapter covers recent research on nanocomposites and their several possible uses. Additionally, metal oxide-based nanocomposite synthesis techniques are gaining popularity because they offer high production rates, high product yields, and minimal toxic waste formation while also being cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Physical and chemical methods have been used to synthesize metal oxide nanocomposites. This chapter provides an overview of the various chemical methods used to synthesize metal oxides. The many reported synthesis methods and prospective applications like solar cells, gas sensors, and supercapacitors of metal oxide-based nanocomposites are discussed in this research.
