Metal Oxides

<p>The Special Issue contains ten research papers three of which review papers. It is a miscellaneous composition encompassing several applications where metal oxides play a key role. Some papers also give insights into novel synthesis methods and processes aiming to reduce negative environmental impacts and increase materials and process efficiency thus also covering a broader concern of sustainability issues. The topics covered in this issues are: transparent conductive oxides ceramic composites for tool applications oxides nanoparticles for A-TIG welding critical raw materials saving metallurgical waste treatment oxides for high temperature applications nanostructured oxides and composites for gas sensing and desulfuration and metal oxides sorbents for CO2 capture.</p>
