“Synthesis and Applications of Classes of Non-carbonaceous Nanostructures”
Stanislaus S. Wong
Associate Professor, State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook, Department of Chemistry
(VIDEO CONFERENCED FROM SUNY AT STONY BROOK)
Abstract:
We describe a number of advances that have been made in the reproducible synthesis
of non-carbonaceous metal oxide nanostructures. Nanoscale structures, such as
nanoparticles, nanorods, nanowires, nanocubes, and nanotubes, have attracted
extensive synthetic attention as a result of their novel size-dependent properties.
Ideally, the net result of a successful nanoscale synthesis using environmentally
friendly methodologies is the production of structures that achieve monodispersity,
stability, and crystallinity with a predictable morphology. Many of the synthetic
methods used to attain these goals have been based on principles derived from
semiconductor technology, solid state chemistry, and molecular inorganic cluster chemistry.
