Abstract

Nowadays, oxide nanomaterials have received great attention due to their unique semiconducting, optical and electrical properties. Oxide nanomaterials exhibit these properties due to their small size, high surface area to volume ratio and great biocompatibility. The chemical activity of the oxide nanomaterials is highly enhanced by the presence of oxygen vacancies in these materials. This review article outlined the unique properties, synthesis techniques and applications of oxide nanomaterials.The important and unique properties of TiO₂ and ZnO nanomaterials with their possible crystal structures have been discussed. In application part, the oxide nanomaterials especially ZnO has been discussed for memory device applications. To control the performance of oxide nanomaterials for memristor device application, a better understanding of their properties is required.Table of Contents
