Tin Oxide Materials--Synthesis, Properties, and Applications

In recent years metal oxides have emerged as important electronic materials. As more is learned about this important materials system, more functionalities and more applications have been revealed. The proposed work will be a key reference on one important material within this materials system, key for materials scientists, materials engineers and materials chemists who have been introduced to metal oxides as a general category of materials, but want to take the next step to learn more about a specific material. Provides a complete resource on tin oxide materials systems, including in-depth discussions of properties, their synthesis, modelling methods, and applicationsPresents information on the well-investigated SnO2, but also includes discussions on its emerging stoichiometries, such as SnO and Sn3O4Includes the most relevant applications in varistors, sensing devices, fuel cells, transistors, biological studies, and much more INDICE: 1.
