Inorganic materials show a diverse range of important properties that are desirable for many contemporary, real-world applications. Good examples include recyclable battery cathode materials for energy storage and transport, porous solids for capture and storage of gases and molecular complexes for use in electronic devices.

In order to underpin novel synthesis strategies both to facilitate typical inorganic materials applications and to encourage new ones, Local Structural Characterisation provides thorough review of current and emerging techniques for materials characterisation.

The special properties of inorganic materials can be used for a wide range of applications in electronics such as semiconductors, magnetic alloys, insulators, and optical and display materials.

the book does an excellent job of putting together several different classes of materials. Many common points emerge, and the book may facilitate the development of hybrids in which the qualities of the parents are enhanced. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.

Functional oxides have a wide variety of applications in the electronic industry. The discovery of new metal oxides with interesting and useful properties continues to drive much research in chemistry, physics, and materials science.

Porous Materials focuses on the exciting field of porous materials, in which there have been a number of significant breakthroughs in the design and processing of novel porous materials.

While knowledge of the origin of physical properties of many simple solids is comprehensive, this is not the case for low-dimensional solids. This field, however, has seen tremendous development in the last couple of years and the materials have a wide range of applications such as in display devices.

The Inorganic Materials series contains five volumes, based on the physical properties of each material: Functional Oxides, Molecular Materials, Low-Dimensional Solids, Porous Materials, and Energy Materials. Each themed volume is a self-contained reference, containing four to five topical review chapters.

Given the recent expansion in materials chemistry, this book addresses several of the vigorous areas of research in this field, where inorganic materials are central to the research. Each chapter provides an introduction to the subject under discussion and then develops the field to provide a sensible overview, with certain topics being expanded.
