Multi-component oxide nanosystems by Chemical Vapor Deposition and related routes: challenges and perspectives

摘要: In the broad scenario of multi-component nanomaterials, oxide-based systems are primary technological importance for various applications current interest, spanning from optoelectronics to catalysis, chemical sensing energy conversion and storage. Such a range functional utilizations results joint features nano-organized synergistic combination constituent properties, which, in turn, can be tailored by means flexible scalable preparative strategies. An amenable synthetic option potentially meeting these standards is Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), either as such or with other fabrication routes. To this regard, present highlight provides an overview on CVD-based growth applicative potential nanocomposite systems. Special attention devoted three different categories, i.e. metal/oxide, oxide/oxide carbon/oxide nanomaterials. For each them, selected synthesis/applications composite architectures morphology presented, trying address actual challenges future trends field.
