Metal Oxide Nanostructures

Metal oxide nanostructures are tiny, often at the scale of nanometers (billionths of a meter), structures made from metal oxides, which are compounds of metal and oxygen. These materials have unique properties due to their small size and large surface area, making them useful in various applications, including electronics, sensors, catalysts, and energy storage. For example, they can improve the efficiency of solar cells or enhance the sensitivity of gas sensors. Researchers are exploring their potential to solve environmental problems, improve technological devices, and advance healthcare. Their versatility makes them a key area of interest in materials science.
