Abstract

In this chapter, we highlight recent innovations from our laboratory by featuring uniquely shaped nanostructures and how their morphology and dimension affect their physico-chemical properties and subsequently their applications. We aim to cover a wide range of applications including optical and plasmonic applications, sensing and imaging , catalytic and photocatalytic applications, bio-medical and environmental implications as well as energy related applications.
