Opis

Metal Oxides: Chemistry and Applications offers a timely account of transition-metal oxides (TMO), one of the most important classes of metal oxides, in the context of catalysis. The first part of the book examines the crystal and electronic structure, stoichiometry and composition, redox properties, acid-base character, and cation valence states, as well as new approaches to the preparation of TMO. The second part compiles some practical aspects of TMO in materials science, chemical sensing, nanotechnology, environmental decontamination, and fuel cells, among others, and emphasizes the connection between properties of oxides and their reactivity in various types of reactions.
