title: Oxide nanomaterials: synthesis, microstructure, optical characteristics and bio-applicability.
abstract: In this study, some of important findings pertaining to ZnO, TiO2, WO3, CuO, CdO and Al2O3, on novel growth morphologies and related spectroscopic, optical, electrochemical performance and bio-applicability have been elucidated. In this context, some of the important results of the nanotubes of carbon and boron nitride are also illustrated. The importance of electron microscopy and spectroscopy in the investigation of nanomaterials has been discussed.
