Nanomaterials for Sensing and Optoelectronic Applications explores the recent trends in nanomaterials and devices for chemical and biosensing applications. The synthesis, properties and applications of metal oxide nanostructures, as well as two-dimensional layered materials are discussed. The contents of the book include the fabrication of optoelectronic devices, such as chemical sensors, biosensors, core-shell nanostructures-based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates, luminescent nanoparticles, memory devices, and thin film transistors. Aiming at researchers in these respective areas, the fundamental principles and mechanisms of the optoelectronic phenomena behind every application mentioned.

Materials scientists are looking for new synthesis routes and characterize them well, while those working on the application side may not be aware of the intricacies of the synthesis procedure. This book bridges the gap between those two. The book will be helpful in solving problems related to the synthesis and growth of various nanostructures and the application of these materials for various devices, and how a specific synthesis route promotes a specific application.
