Synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials for enhanced solar water disinfection and energy generation

Abstract

Nanostructured materials are the foundation for nanoscience and nanotechnology Nanoscience is a broad and interdisciplinary area of research that has been explosively growing worldwide in newlinethe past few year Synthesizing matter on a nanometer size is of great interest because properties at that level are strongly size dependent and can be tuned sensitively In nanosized crystals a newlinelarge number of surface atoms and quantum size effects influence the optical magnetic electronic and chemical properties which differ significantly from those of the atomic molecular or the bulk materials of the same composition newline newline
