This exciting new book is a unique compilation of data from a wide range of chemical and spectroscopic instrumentation and the integration of nanostructure characterisation drawn from physical, chemical, electrochemical, spectroscopic and electron microscopic measurements. It fills a gap in the current nanomaterials literature by documenting the latest research from scientific journals to provide a concise yet balanced and integrated treatment of an interesting topic: titanium oxide nanostructures within the emerging and fashionable area of nanomaterials.
