METAL OXIDE NANOCOMPOSITE THIN FILMS FOR OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICE APPLICATIONS The book provides insight into the fundamental aspects, latest research, synthesis route development, preparation, and future applications of metal oxide nanocomposite thin films. The fabrication of thin film-based materials is important to the future production of safe, efficient, and affordable energy as the devices convert sunlight into electricity. Thin film devices allow excellent interface engineering for high-performance printable solar cells as their structures are highly reliable and stand-alone systems can provide the required megawatts. They have been used as power sources in solar home systems, remote buildings, water pumping, megawatt-scale power plants, satellites, communications, and space vehicles. Metal Oxide Nanocomposite Thin Films for Optoelectronic Device Applications covers the basics of advanced nanometal oxide-based materials, their synthesis, characterization, and applications, and all the updated information on optoelectronics. Topics discussed include the implications of metal oxide thin films, which are critical for device fabrications. It provides updated information on the economic aspect and toxicity, with great focus paid to display applications, and covers some core areas of nanotechnology, which are particularly concerned with optoelectronics and the available technologies. The book concludes with insights into the role of nanotechnology and the physics behind photovoltaics. Audience The book will be an important volume for electronics and electrical engineers, nanotechnologists, materials scientists, inorganic chemists in academic research, and those in industries, exploring the applications of nanoparticles in semiconductors, power electronics, and more.

This volume of the "Journal of Nano Research" has been collected from the peer-reviewed articles reflecting the practical research results in the synthesis and properties analysis of nanomaterials and nanostructures for various cases of industrial and technical applications. The research results will find practical use in micro- and optoelectronics, chemical production, technologies of wastewater treatment, nanomechatronics, and biomedicine.

The 63rd volume of the "Journal of Nano Research" contains peer-reviewed manuscripts depicting the research results in the field of synthesis and properties analysis of various nanomaterials and nanostructures for the ecological goals and industrial applications in microelectronics and mechatronics. This volume of the journal can attract and may be useful for a wide range of engineers, scientists, and students whose activity is related to the usage of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies in various manifestations.
