Anisotropic Metallic and Metallic Oxide Nanostructures-Correlation Between Their Shape and Properties

Abstract

In this chapter, we highlight recent innovations from our laboratory by featuring uniquely shaped nanostructures and how their morphology and dimension affect their physico-chemical properties and subsequently their applications. We aim to cover a wide range of applications including optical and plasmonic applications, sensing and imaging, catalytic and photocatalytic applications, bio-medical and environmental implications as well as energy related applications.
