Oversized hardcover, xxiii + 558 pages. Weight 1215g. Missing the title page. A couple of blank labels inside the front board. Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps. Binding gently loosened, remains secure and stable. Issued without a dust jacket. -- Metal nanoparticles exhibit unique properties diverging from their bulk counterparts due to large surface area-to-volume ratios and quantum size effects. Their characteristics are highly sensitive to composition, size, and morphology, with the latter offering features difficult to achieve through simple size tuning. Recent advances have enabled precise control over nanoparticle morphology, yielding complex shapes such as polyhedrons, plates, prisms, rods, wires, hollow/porous structures, heterodimers, and branched multipods. This book compiles state-of-the-art reviews on the bottom-up synthesis of metal nanoparticles with complex morphologies, emphasizing principles underlying chemical, electrochemical, template-directed, and biosynthetic methods. Detailed discussions cover thermodynamic and kinetic factors governing morphology evolution, including nucleation, growth mechanisms, and the role of defects, additives, and reaction parameters. Theoretical models and simulations elucidate symmetry-breaking mechanisms in metals like silver, gold, and platinum, which crystallize in face-centered cubic structures. The text also explores morphology-dependent properties and applications: catalysis and electrocatalysis exploiting high-energy facets; localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) and their enhancements in sensing, spectroscopy, and biomedical applications; shape-anisotropic magnetic nanoparticles for data storage and biomedicine; thermoelectric efficiencies of low-dimensional nanoparticles; and ordered/nonordered superstructures for nanophotonics, membranes, and advanced devices. Bridging experimental breakthroughs with theoretical descriptions, the book addresses the physicochemical basis of morphology control, nanoparticle assemblies, and their transformative impact on catalysis, photonics, optoelectronics, sensing, and information storage. …

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to killarneybooks, Inagh, Clare, Ireland, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
