The books in this series are practical guides for chemical synthesis of nanomaterials. Each volume covers detailed experimental procedures for synthesis and characterization of nano materials of a specific type. With recipes for each category of nanomaterials these books represent the ultimate "cook books" for this area.

This book presents latest research results on synthesis and application of metallic nanomaterials. Fabrication techniques, analytic properties, as well as theoretical aspects are discussed. Size- and shape-controlled synthesis of silver, gold, copper, ruthenium, tellurium, selenium and palladium nanoparticles are reviewed. Further topics are the synthesis from microplasma and shape-control for electrocatalytic applications.
