Nanostructured Multifunctional Materials: Synthesis, Characterization, Applications and Computational Simulation

The development of nanomaterials plays a fundamental role in current and future technology applications, particularly nanomaterials that have multiple functionalities. This book provides a broad overview of the effect of nanostructuring in the multifunctionality of different widely studied nanomaterials. This book is divided into four sections constituting a road map that groups materials sharing certain types of nanostructuring, including nanoporous, nanoparticled, 2D laminar nanomaterials, and computational methods for characterizations of nanostructures. This structured approach in nanomaterials research will serve as a valuable reference material for chemists, (bio)engineers, physicists, nanotechnologists, undergraduates, and professors.

Esteban A. Franceschini is Researcher in CONICET (Argentina) in the INFIQC and the National University of Cordoba. He is the co-author of over 30 peer-reviewed journal articles, patents, and book chapters. He did his doctorate and post-doctorate at the National Atomic Energy Commission in nanomaterials synthesis for fuel cells applications and is currently working on the development of composite materials for the generation of hydrogen in alkaline electrolyzers, development of prototypes and integration into renewable energy sources.
