Computers and ever more powerful processor chips are an obvious manifestation of the drive to miniaturization, but there are other applications for which miniaturization is desirable, in the electronics and optoelectronics industries as well as more generally in the quest for new functional and smart materials.

Such materials depend largely on the possibility of controlling the formation of the material at the nanoscopic scale.

Electrochemistry of Nanomaterials presents nine chapters—of interest in electrochemistry, materials physics, and materials science—that consider electrochemical methods used for the preparation of nanoparticles and the properties of such nanomaterials.

Contents:

1. Hybrid Electrochemical/Chemical Synthesis of Semiconductor Nanocrystals on Graphie
2. Electrodeposition of Semiconductor Quantum Dot Films
3. Electrodeposition of Superlattices and Multilayers
4. Porous-etched Semiconductors: Formation and Characterization
5. Electrochemical Formation and Modification of Nanocrystalline Porous Silicon
6. Charge Transport in Nanostructured Thin-film Electrodes
7. Dye-sensitized Solar Cells: Principles of Operation
8. Electrochromic and Photoelectrochromic Aspects of Semiconductor Nanostructure-Molecular Assembly
9. Electron Transfer and Charge Storage in Ultrathin Films Layer-by-layer Self-assembled from Polyelectrolytes, Nanoparticles, and Nanoplatelets
