| Abstract Scope |
Nanomaterials relating to the synthesis-structure-property need to be further studied to tailor the properties. The functional properties in energy and environment of these materials will be used to illustrate the crystallographic relationship.Titania has a great potential to contribute to the green energy technology. For an efficient photocatalytic reaction, high surface area is one of the prime goals in synthesis of nanomaterials. In the synthesis of titania nanoparticles in an aqueous medium, entrapment of extraneous protons in the crystal lattice can affect the catalytic properties. The way to extract the protons without sacrificing the surface area will be presented.
Energy storage is another critical area for the green energy. High permittivity materials have been used for capacitors and for storage of electrical charges. In this talk, synthesis and fabrication of barium titanate nano-material and its composite structure with enhanced energy storage will be presented as an example. |
