Abstract
Metal-oxide nanocomposites are promising in the fields of nanotechnology and
nanoscience for a variety of application purposes, including sensors, supercapacitors, solar
cells, etc. The increase in its practical application efficiencies may be due to these increased
features. This chapter covers recent research on nanocomposites and their several possible uses.
Additionally, metal oxide-based nanocomposite synthesis techniques are gaining popularity
because they offer high production rates, high product yields, and minimal toxic waste
formation while also being cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Physical and chemical
methods have been used to synthesize metal oxide nanocomposites. This chapter provides an
overview of the various chemical methods used to synthesize metal oxides. The many reported
synthesis methods and prospective applications like solar cells, gas sensors, and supercapacitors
of metal oxide-based nanocomposites are discussed in this research.
