Advanced Ceramics for Versatile Interdisciplinary Applications, describes recent progress in ceramic synthesis and their applications in areas of catalysis, lithium-ion batteries, microbial fuel cells, and biomedical applications. Advancements in ceramic syntheses, such as laser additive manufacturing technologies, are also discussed. The latest developments in magnetic-based, doped and piezoelectric ceramics and their applications are also covered in detail. The book also discusses mixed ionic-electronic conducting ceramic membranes for electrochemical applications, ceramic separators for microbial fuel cells, ceramic polymer composites for lithium-ion batteries, and hybrid ceramic nanocomposites for catalysis applications. The resistance of microbes to existing antibiotics is an issue of global concern. The use of metal and metal oxide nanostructures as antimicrobial agents offer a wide range of advantages ranging from straightforward synthesis to less prone towards resistance development by microbes. The development of biocompatible ceramic materials, mechanical and chemical properties, and applications are discussed in detail. The book will be useful for new researchers, academics, and postgraduate students all working in the area of ceramics and their potential applications. Focuses on the optical and electrochemical properties of advanced ceramic materials and MXenes Covers synthesis, characterization techniques and a diverse range of applications including energy and biomaterials Contributions from diverse range of backgrounds across chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering, medical science, environmental and industrial technology, biotechnology and biomedical engineering
