Advanced hierarchical nanostructured materials / edited by Qiang Zhang and Fei Wei. [electronic resource] Zhang, Qiang (Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering), editor. Wei, Fei, 1962- editor. Nanostructured materials. TA418.9.N35 620.115 23 Includes bibliographical references and index. Online resource; title from PDF title page (Wiley, viewed on May 30, 2014). An overview of the recent developments and prospects in this highly topical area, covering the synthesis, characterization, properties and applications of hierarchical nanostructured materials. The book concentrates on those materials relevant for research and development in the fields of energy, biomedicine and environmental protection, with a strong focus on 3D materials based on nanocarbons, mesoporous silicates, hydroxides, core-shell particles and helical nanostructures. Thanks to its clear concept and application-oriented approach, this is an essential reference for experienced researchers and newcomers to the field alike. 2014 Text 1 online resource (xix, 485 pages) : http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9783527664948 eng Advanced hierarchical nanostructured materials.
