Transition metal dichalcogenides have been extensively studied during last two decades. These materials range from insulators to conductors and have a diversity of properties including charge density waves, superconductivity, activity and a rich intercalation chemistry. Tungsten Dichalcogenides find a wide range of applications in the field of catalysis and as a lubricant at high temperature and pressure.WTe2 has been widely used for solar energy conversion in Photoelectrochemical (PEC) solar cell due to small band gap and high chemical stability.

The work in this book is based on experimental aspects. Author describes the characterizations of Molybdenum Ditelluride Single Crystals. The microscopic examinations of the surface of these crystals have revealed layered growth mechanism. These crystals have applications in the field of catalysts. MoTe2 has been used for solar energy conversion in photoelectrochemical (PEC) solar cell due to small band gap and high chemical stability.

Nanoparticulate systems have great potentials,being able to convert poorly soluble, poorly absorbed and labile biologically active substance into promising deliverable drugs. The core of this system can enclose a variety of drugs, enzymes, genes and is characterized by a long circulation time due to the hydrophilic shell which prevents recognition by the reticular-endothelial system. To optimize this drug delivery system, greater understanding of the different mechanisms of biological interactions, and particle engineering, is still required. Further advances are needed in order to turn the...
