Nanomaterials via Single-Source Precursors: Synthesis, Processing, and Applications offers a comprehensive exploration of the latest advancements in the synthesis, processing, characterization, and applications of advanced materials for energy, electronics, biomedicine, sensors, and aerospace. This book provides a diverse range of processing methods, including vapor, liquid, and solid-state techniques, covering materials such as metals, oxides, semiconductors, sulfides, selenides, nitrides, and carbon-based materials. Expert contributors detail the production of quantum dots, nanoparticles, thin films, and composites, highlighting the rational approach to synthesis and processing that enables the customization of target materials' phase, morphology, and properties. This disruptive technology holds immense potential for electronic, energy, structural, and biomedical (nano)materials and devices. By utilizing single-source chemical precursors, materials can be produced through intimate elemental mixing, resulting in the creation of complex materials at significantly lower temperatures compared to traditional physical methods or direct element combination. This advantage allows for thin-film deposition on lightweight polymer substrates, minimizing damage to complex device structures found in power, electronics, and sensors.
