Abstract
Electrochemical synthesis methods have gained substantial consideration for synthesis of metal oxide/hydroxide nanostructures owing to their simple, convenient and inexpensive approach, for extensive synthesis. Different conducting substrates such as fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO), indium doped tin oxide (ITO), Ni-foam, Cu-foam, stainless steel can be used. Electrochemical deposition is used to form a thin layer of desired metal oxide on to the surface of substrates by simple electrolysis. Deposition of metal oxides/hydroxides on substrates is dependent of applied conditions, like, concentration of electrolyte solution, external applied voltage, etc. In the present chapter, we have focused on, electrochemical synthesis method of metal oxide/hydroxide nanostructures, along with advantages and disadvantages. The necessary theoretical background for the electrochemical synthesis is also discussed in detail.
