ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the diverse synthesis methodologies in the context of individual applicability for each ceramic nanomaterial. Tungsten oxide (WO3) is an n-type transition metal oxide with wide extending applications. The synthesis and analysis of WO3 nanostructures have become increasingly prominent with the advent of nanotechnologies. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of the key technological semiconductor materials with a wide bandgap of ∼3.2 eV, suitable for short wavelength optoelectronic applications. The basic use of titanium dioxide (TiO2) is in the form of pigment in paints due to a high refractive index and high optical absorption to impart brightness to the pigment. Barium titanate (BaTiO3) is the oldest ceramic material belonging to the perovskite family, having the general chemical formula ABO3. Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) is popularly known as zirconia, which is a white crystalline oxide of zirconium. It is a polycrystalline ceramic material without a glassy phase, and its existence is in several forms.
