Doping of Metal Oxides

Doping of Metal Oxides: From Fundamentals to Applications covers the concepts, synthesis, characterization, and applications of doped metal oxides. The book begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of doping, including electronic structure, band gap engineering, and types of dopant agents before delving into various synthesis methods and detailed accounts of characterization techniques. It discusses, in detail, the applications of doped metal oxides such as energy, electronic devices, optoelectronics, sensors, catalysis and photocatalysis, photoelectrochemical water splitting, environmental remediation, dye degradation, batteries, and solar cells.

The book also explores the challenges and limitations in doping metal oxides and offers insights into emerging trends and future prospects, adopting a systematic and logical approach focused on providing an in-depth understanding of the concept of doping, synthesis, and characterization techniques.
