Abstract

This part presents a comprehensive analysis of previous and recent research and advances related to the thermo-optical properties of metal oxide nanoparticles. Modern nanotechnologies produce various nanoparticles from different oxides with unique properties. Metal oxide nanoparticles have significant advantages over other nanoparticles due to their special optical properties and high oxide melting and evaporation temperatures, which allows them to be stable in a high-temperature surrounding. The thermo-optical properties of oxide nanoparticles have recently received significant attention due to their various applications in solar energy conversion, laser processing, photocatalytic applications, photothermal therapies. The development of modern high-temperature photonics, photocatalysis, and laser technologies in recent years requires the study and use of the optical parameters of metal oxide nanoparticles. The analysis of thermo-optical properties of oxide Al2O3, TiO2, NiO, ZnO and other conventional oxide nanoparticles and their dependences on temperature has been carried out. These results can be used for the development and application of various optical and laser devices and technologies based on the use of thermo-optical properties of metal oxide nanoparticles, as well as for high-temperature nanophotonics and nanotechnology.
