Popis: This chapter presents a brief description of basic concepts of nanostructured materials, with a focus on metal oxides, including its synthesis, microstructure, properties, and applications. Nanostructured metal oxides represent one of the most important and studied class of materials, because they offer a broad range of unique properties, which differ to a great extent to those observed in their bulk analogues. As examples of nanostructured metal oxides, case studies are included: Fe3O4 hollow nanospheres, ZnO and CuO nanorods, and CuFeO2 thin films. Their synthesis conditions via aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD), their characterization and applications for water remediation and H2 generation are also depicted.
