Synopsis

Zinc oxide (ZnO) in its nanostructured form is emerging as a promising material with great potential for the development of many smart electronic devices. This book presents up-to-date information about various synthesis methods to obtain device-quality ZnO nanostructures. It describes both high-temperature (over 100° C) and low-temperature (under 100° C) approaches to synthesizing ZnO nanostructures; device applications for technical and medical devices, light-emitting diodes, electrochemical sensors, nanogenerators, and photodynamic therapy; and the concept of self-powered devices and systems using ZnO nanostructures. The book emphasizes the utilization of non-conventional substrates such as plastic, paper, and textile as new platforms for developing electronics.

About the Author

Magnus Willander is professor in the Department of Science and Technology at Linköping University, Sweden. He received his PhD in physics from the Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, in 1984. He conducted pioneering research on Si/SiGe, SiC, and polymer devices between 1984 and 1994. Since 2002, Prof. Willander has concentrated on metal oxides and their applications, particularly ZnO nanostructures. He has also studied various III–V materials, carbon-based materials and devices, and fundamental physical problems both theoretically and experimentally. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the Institute of Physics (UK).
