Metal Oxides in Nanocomposite-Based Electrochemical Sensors for Toxic ChemicalsAuthor(s): A. Pandikumar, Perumal Rameshkumar\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc, United States\nImprint: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc\nISBN-13: 9780128207277, 978-0128207277\nSynopsis\nMetal oxide nanomaterials exhibit interesting electrical and photochemical properties because of their size, stability, and high surface area that render them as great choices in fabricating alternative electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage and sensor applications. The hybridization of metal oxides with other materials lead to the improvement in electrical conductivity, stability, and electron transfer kinetics during the electrocatalytic reactions. These key factors result in greater sensitivity of the sensor materials towards the analyte molecules. This book reviews the electrochemical determination of a variety of toxic chemical contaminants using metal oxide-based n.
