Tin Oxide Materials: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications

by Marcelo Ornaghi Orlandi (Editor)

Overview

Tin Oxide Materials: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications discusses the latest in metal oxides, an emerging area in electronic materials. As more is learned about this important materials system, more functionalities and applications have been revealed. This key reference on the topic covers important material that is ideal 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 and 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 applications - Presents information on the well-investigated SnO2, but also includes discussions on its emerging stoichiometries, such as SnO and Sn3O4 - Includes the most relevant applications in varistors, sensing devices, fuel cells, transistors, biological studies, and much more

About the Author

Dr. Orlandi received his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at the Federal Unviersity of São Carlos in Brazil in 2005 studying nanostructures based on SnO2. He was a Visiting Scientist at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the years 2011, 2012, 2014, and 2015. He is now the head of the Electron Microscopy Center of the Chemistry Institute of Araraquara and Associate Professor at the Chemistry Institute at São Paulo State University. His main research focus is ceramic materials, studying the growth mechanism and properties of semiconductors.
