\r\n\t● Can varying levels of privacy assurance be built into DP models, to accommodate varying willingness to share personal information than others, especially if this results in more utility for them.
\r\n\r\n\t
\r\n\t● How is differential privacy able to address evolving statistical distributions of model features in streaming data use-cases?
\r\n\t
\r\n\t● How shall we statistically account for excess randomness introduced by privacy-preserving methods?
\r\n\tThis book aims to provide an account of the current state-of-the-art in DP and developments in this strategically important area.

The nature of bonding present among metal and oxygen can be fluctuating from partially ionic to extremely covalent (or metallic). Owing to possess outer d-electron nature the properties of TMO are unusual. The remarkable wonder of TMO is its phenomenal array of electronic as well as magnetic properties. Therefore, oxides exhibiting metallic behavior such as RuO2, LaNiO3, and ReO3 are found at one class while oxides displaying extremely insulating properties including BaTiO3 are recognized as the other one [1, 2]. TMOs can be documented as the class of oxides that comprises of cation which has incompletely or partially filled d shell. This nature is due to their marvelous feature as they are motivating and scientifically supreme category of versatile solids. This class contains a wide-range of color, magnetic, and electric properties along with most researched classes to progress their understanding of nature. As mentioned, their bonding fluctuates from partially ionic as in case of NiO and CoO to highly covalent such as OsO4, and RuO4.
\nFurthermore, metallic bonding also arises such as TiO, ReO3, and NbO. The crystal structure of TMOs varies from cubic symmetry to triclinic [3, 4, 5]. Further, binary oxides with the composition pattern of MO are commonly found to attain rock salt structure; but MO2 type composition involves rutile, fluorite, distorted rutile (complex structure). Possibly, significant features of TMOs are their aptitude to bear huge withdrawal from stoichiometry that is result of cations with variable valency. As an example, a portion of cuprous ion in copper (I) oxide (Cu2O) can be oxidized to cupric form that resulted in Cu2-xO which is a metal deficient composition. Similarly, ferric ion in iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) can be reduced to resulted ferrous form, resulted in Fe2 + xO3 which are metal-rich composition [6, 7, 8]. Withdraw from stoichiometry in the case of non-TMOs that includes MgO is usually appeared as small and in the order of 10−4% even at an extreme temperature usually greater than 1700 °C. Other than this, TiO2 can put up roughly 1% of oxygen vacancies as well as titanium interstitials. There are exemptions to precede this generalization, as an example, ZnO which does not correspond to the tree of TMOs can provide a departure from the stoichiometric composition that varies from the range 10−2 to 10−1 at the temperature of 1000 °C [9, 10, 11].
\nThis exhibition from ZnO is due to its wurtzite crystal structure that involves unoccupied interstices in the lattice of oxygen which is accomplished of acquiescent interstitial zinc. This phenomenon exhibits the importance of variable valency and crystal structure for the determination of specific oxide to bear substantial non-stoichiometry. This involves the zone of defect chemistry that solid-state chemist has focused devotion to the TMOs, in certain with the impartial of classifying the kinds of defect that are existing and their equilibrium concentrations as well. At the low concentrations conditions such as ~10−4% and point defects that comprise vacant sites (interstitial ions or atoms) are effectively treated via statistical thermodynamics [8, 11]. Furthermore, at the higher concentrations conditions such as ~10−2%; where certain association arises, the same method can be allowed to legal. This is due to the ionic defects that origins disturbances to the crystal’s electronic structure. Moreover, an influential instrument in the study of defect chemistry contains the measurement of variations in semi-conductivity that is subsequent from fluctuations in defect concentration. These variations are followed as a function of temperature, and equilibrium oxygen partial pressure [8, 12].
\nStatistical thermodynamic handling of the defect equilibrium is typically unsuitable at the range of high defect concentrations that turn into the development of an identifiable superlattice. Owing to these conditions, the area of oxide covering the superlattice can be viewed as a different segment and the whole non-stoichiometry of oxide can be viewed as ascending from the mixture of such segments (two or more), instead of the arbitrary circulation of defects through single segment [8, 9]. These sorts of super-lattice assembling are thought to occur in high-temperature segment CeO2-x; this involves the dissociation upon chilling into a two-phase mixture that comprises CeO2 and Ce32O58. Meanwhile, in 1950, the idea about the crystallographic shear has been familiarized as well as recognized to designate the great withdrawals from stoichiometry detected in certain TMOs. Magnéli pronounced the nature of non-stoichiometry in the MoO3 employing these shear structures [12, 13, 14].
\nThe bulk MO structures have been regulated with broad and extremely precise XRD crystallographic plane studies [15]. Unluckily, inorganic structural chemistry related to MO dehydrated surface around oxide sustenance cannot be evaluated with XRD owing to the nonexistence of extensive range order which is greater than 4 nm in the surface MO over the layers. Native structures of MO dehydrated surface possibly bring into being via in situ molecular approaches of MO dehydrated supported with respect to spectroscopic analysis: Raman [16], UV–vis, infrared, chemi-luminescence, NMR established with solid-state assembly and XANES or EXAFS, for certain nuclei including 51V, 95Mo, 1H, etc. These characterizations approachs offer structural particulars about numeral of O atoms coordinated to a cation for example MO4, MO5, MO6, and finally, M–O–M like symmetry that represent the incidence of adjacent neighbors. These kind of bridging among M–O–M bonds linkage are effortlessly obvious with Raman analysis; furthermore, this is likewise infrequently obvious for the overtone section of IR. Coupled Raman, the IR fingerprints, as well as isotopic oxygen exchange readings, are capable to begin the numeral of M = O which is pronounced as terminal bonds as an example for mono-oxo its linkage is M = O, dioxo bridging is related to O = M = O and finally tri-oxo M(=O)3 [17]. The isolated mono-oxo structures consist M = O symmetric stretch v\ns and it seems at a similar frequency for both approaches including Raman and IR analysis. Additionally, overtone section of IR reveals simply one band around 2v\ns. Subsequently, isolated di-oxo structures consist of the O = M = O functionality owns both stretching modes firstly, v\ns termed as symmetric and secondly, v\nas pronounced as asymmetric mode that can be disconnected through 10 cm−1. IR overtone region displays three bands around ∼2v\ns, v\ns + v\nas, and ∼2v\nas with extent upto ∼20 cm − 1 assortments. For isolated tri-oxo functionalities, more complex vibrational spectra appear and several bands will usually present in overtone, and stretching regions. Raman is normally quite sensitive to v\ns whereas IR is sensitive to v\nas. The moment when O = M = O bonds are detached through 90°, then splitting of bands will not be perceived and the vibrations will degenerate [18]. Isotopic 16O or 18O exchange readings are capable to divide such kinds of degenerate vibrations through isotopic scrambling for oxygen. Mono-oxo structures correspond to two kinds of bands that are associated with symmetrical stretching mode and it will be existing owing to the vibration of M = 16O, and M = 18O as well. For di-oxo structures, three kinds of bands (symmetric stretching) will perform owing to firstly, 16O = M = 16O secondly, 18O = M = 18O, and thirdly, 16O = M = 18O vibrations. Besides, these fourth bands (symmetric stretching) should seem for tri-oxo functionalities which contains the vibrations of firstly M16O3, secondly, M18O16O2, thirdly, M18O16\n2O, and lastly M18O3\n). Additionally, isotopic swings owing to the replacement of the heavier 18O with the 16O isotope can correspondingly evaluated for oscillators based upon diatomic materials and it also matched with the detected isotopic shifts. Therefore, grouping of such sorts of measurements taken from the analysis of molecular spectroscopy which is combined with isotopic O atom exchange readings stay mandatory to achieve structures that are absolutely linked with MO dehydrated surface [3, 15, 19].
\nInorganic chemistry of bulk vanadium with respect to its structural analysis that possesses the oxidation state of +5 is the greatest diverse between bulk MO. Additionally, this analysis has been evaluated from the broad-ranging examination of XRD. Further, Bulk vanadate (VO6) ions comprise of firstly, isolated orthovanadate (\n
Structures of (a) dehydrated isolated and (b) polymeric surface monoxo VO4 species [15].
Bulk chromates hold CrO4 coordination in isolated mono-chromate (CrO4), dichromate (Cr2O7) that termed as dimer, tri-chromate (Cr3O10) which is designated as trimer, and tetr-achromate (Cr4O13) which is named as tetramer with infinite chain CrO3 (polychromate or metachromate) structures [22]. In contrast to the respective bulk vanadates, bulk non-CrO4 comprising structures are unidentified as an example CrO5 and CrO6 (see Figure 2). The crystalline structure of CrO3 is assembled up of countless chains via connecting CrO4 entities comprised of two short bonds (0.160 nm) and two extended bonds (0.175 nm). These entities are lonely apprehended with each other via van der Waal interactions. Infrequent short MP of CrO3 is 197 °C reveals weak van der Waal forces between poly-chromate chains. Bulk CrO3 attaining faint thermal stability is also reflected in its superficial lessening and the decomposition to respective bulk Cr2O3, which contains only Cr with +3 oxidation state as cations. The Cr with an oxidation state of +6 is generally unchanging through the existence of non-reducible cations that include As, K, P, Rb, and Na. Chromium oxy-halides that correspond to gas-phase are also recognized and vibration of mono-oxo F4Cr = O are detected around 1028 cm−1, while the vibrations associated with di-oxo F2Cr(=O)2 are identified around 1006 cm−1 for v\ns as well as 1016 cm−1 for v\nas. Additionally, vibrations of di-oxo Cl2Cr(=O)2 are noticed around 984 cm−1 for v\ns as well as 994 cm−1 for v\nas. Lastly, vibrations of tri-oxo CsBrCr(=O)3 around 908 for v\ns, 933, 947, and 955 cm−1 for v\nas [23]. These vibrational frequency swings as a function of the M = O bonds are pointedly away from the expected value that was imagined for dissimilar halide ligands as the gas-phase vanadyl oxy-halide complexes swing downward to 23 cm−1 by reflecting the shift from F-Cl ligands and downward to 10 cm−1 by considering the shift from Cl-Br ligands. Thus, aggregation of the amount of chromyl bonds swings leads to the corresponding vibrations to inferior wavenumbers and gradually upturns the sum of vibrational bands. In summary, inorganic chemistry of Cr with respect to structural analysis that owns an oxidation state of +6 chromates essentially consists of CrO4 units with different extents of polymerization [24, 25] .
\nStructures of (a) dehydrated isolated and (b) polymeric surface monoxo CrO4 species [15].
Spectroscopic measurements of the dehydrated supported chromates with EXAFS or XANES, UV–vis, and chemiluminescence, exposed that dehydrated surface chromates hold CrO4 coordination and are stabilized as Cr(+6) at prominent temperatures through oxide supports under monolayer surface exposure. Above the monolayer surface coverage, the excess chromium oxide that resides on the surface chromium monolayer becomes reduced at elevated temperatures in the oxidizing environments and forms Cr(+3) Cr2O3 crystallites. Thus, the surface species of Cr with oxidation of +6 are lonely steady around elevated temperatures by coordination to the oxide substrates. For non-SiO2 supports, the Raman measurements and the IR fingerprints reveal two resilient bands around 1005–1010 cm−1, as well as 1020–1030 cm − 1 and the corresponding overtone, ranges for these two bands in vibrational regions of 1986–1995 plus 2010–2015 cm−1. The vibrational alteration is reliable with di-oxo functionality however; it lies faintly on the higher side [26, 27].
\nThe bulk rhenium regarding its inorganic chemistry that possesses +7 oxidation states is slightly sparse. Numerous ortho-rhenate compounds covering isolated units of ReO4 which are somewhat common: KReO4, NaReO4, and NH4ReO4. Bulk Re2O7 holds a layered structure comprising of interchanging groups of ReO4 and ReO6, along with subunits of rings that are constituted two groups of both ReO4 and ReO6. The weak bonding among rhenium oxide groups in the layered structure of Re2O7 consequences in the effective vaporization of Re2O7 dimers that hold two groups of ReO4 bridged through one O atom for example gaseous O3Re–O–ReO3. The supreme possible surface ReO\nx\n attention on oxide supports is permanently reduced than monolayer attention due to the surface ReO\nx\n species association to produce volatile dimers (Re2O7) at extreme surface coverage. Moreover, crystalline Re2O7 is not ever perceived as this MO is not stable to higher calcination values along with the introduction to ambient moisture. Therefore, mono-layer ReO\nx\n with its surface coverage is not ever gotten because crystalline Re2O7 and volatilization does certainly not exist. Hence, supported ReO\nx\n catalysts are exceptional between the sustained MO catalysts. In this materialization, only surface ReO\nx\n attention below single-layer can be accomplished deprived of the occurrence of crystallites [15, 28, 29].
\nBulk polymolybdate chains typically comprise MoO6 coordinated units that are different from the chains of polyvanadate as well as polychromate and these chains are respectively possessed with VO4 and CrO4 groups. This reveals the liking of molybdates for greater coordination groups in comparison with vanadates and chromates units in the respective polymeric structures. Yet, certain exemptions occur to this tendency in the structural chemistry of bulk molybdate. Short coordinated molybdates exist in the dimer of MoO4 which is MgMo2O7 and in the chain of interchanging MoO4 and MoO6 units which are NaMo2O7. Coordination of isolated MoO4 is still somewhat mutual for ortho-molybdates as an example MgMoO4, CuMoO4, Na2MoO4, MnMoO4, K2MoO4, and CaMoO4. Extremely misleading coordination of isolated MoO4 is discovered in Gd2(MoO4)3, Fe2(MoO4)3, Cr2(MoO4)3, and Al2(MoO4)3. Whereas, extremely misleading units of MoO5 are existing in Bi2(MoO4)3 [20, 30]. Further, clusters of polymolybdate are constituted with 6 to 8 MoO6; whereas coordinated units are also recognized for example (NH4)4Mo8O26, (NH4)6Mo7O24, and [NH3P3(NMe2)6]2Mo6O19. Bulk MoO3 (alpha) is comprised of a 3D structure prepared up of extremely misleading units of MoO6. The great misleading existing in bulk MoO3 (alpha) origins the sixth O atom to be positioned extremely distant respected to Mo and, therefore, the structure of the relevant bulk MoO3 (alpha) is well pronounced as comprising of MoO5 units. The bulk MoO3 (beta) crystalline period is one more MoO3 3D structure fabricated up of minute misleading of MoO6 units [31]. Numerous gas-phase mon-oxo molybdenum oxyhalides (X4Mo = O) are also recognized, structural analysis illustrated in Figure 3. The Mo = O vibrations fluctuate in the range 1008–1039 cm−1 with the increment in electronegativity of halide in the order Cl < F. The gas-phase di-oxo Br2Mo(=O)2 growths to the bands at 995 (v\ns) as well as 970 (v\nas) cm−1 owing to an order of electronegativity as Br < Cl < F. Therefore, the structure of molybdenum oxides with respect to its inorganic chemistry involves the coordinated units as MoO4, MoO5, and MoO6, with a first choice in polymolybdates for MoO6 latter [32].

For non-SiO2 supported MoO\nx\n catalysts, MoO\nx\n coordination for the dehydrated surface is subjected to the exposure of surface molybdena and particular oxide support. At faint surface coverage of molybdena that ranges from 5–15% of a monolayer, mainly surface coordinated groups of MoO4 are exist on Al2O3 and TiO2. The parallel Raman spectrum of the above-discussed catalysts also agrees to the extent of minute surface coverage. In addition, MoO4 surface species are correspondingly isolated on both oxide supports. This phenomenon is also authenticated through UV–vis spectra that display huge bandgap energy related to isolated classes. Species with monolayer owns the surface exposure of molybdena, sustained MoO3/TiO2 was establishing to hold MoO6 coordinated groups, and sustained MoO3/Al2O3 was set up to retain a combination of MoO4 as well as MoO6 coordinated species. For monolayer MoO3/Al2O3, the supplementary occurrence of surface MoO6 was also revealed in minor bandgap value of this catalyst. Therefore, UV–vis analysis and Raman measurements for samples discussed above (dehydrated MoO3/ZrO2 and MoO/Al2O3) were quite alike and recommend the similar surface species such as MoO\nx\n occur on the supports together by a certain surface exposure. Measurements are taken from Raman approach also discloses characteristics of linking Mo–O–Mo bonds existing in polymolybdates [33, 34, 35].
\nThe structure of tungsten oxide concerning its inorganic chemistry carefully reflects molybdenum oxide. Numerous ortho-tungstate compounds such as Cs2WO4, Li2WO4, Rb2WO4, Na2WO4, and Na2WO4 holds isolated sites for WO4that are identified. Infrequently tungstate compounds procedure polymeric WO4 compounds as illustrated in Figure 4. One exception related to it is MgW2O7 that involves couples of distributing WO4 units. Interchanging polymeric sites of WO4 and WO6 are existing in the poly-tungstate chains of Na2W2O7 as well as (NH4)2W2O7. Ca3(WO5)Cl2 is the compound in which presence of an isolated WO5 coordinated site has been governing. Coordinated units of Isolated WO6 are found in the Wolframite structure such as ZnWO4, FeWO4, NiWO4, MnWO4, and CoWO4. Poly-tungstate chains are consistent with coordinated units of WO6 which are existing in Li2W2O7 and Ag2W2O7. Clusters of Tungsten oxide comprises polymeric units of WO6 which have been recognized with fluctuating the number of tungstate units: 12-membered includes para-tungstate (NH4)10(H2W12O42.10H2O and meta-tungstate (NH4)6(H2W12O40), 10-membered involves NH4BuW10O32, 6-membered comprises (NBu4)2W6O19, and 4-membered consist of Ag8W4O16. Furthermore, bulk WO3 is assembled up of 3D structure of somewhat misleading WO6 units. Numerous gas-phase mono-oxo tungsten oxyhalides (X4W=O) are identified such as X = F, Cl, and Br [36, 37]. The gas-phase complex of F4W=O displays its W=O vibrations at 1055 cm−1 unfortunately the vibrations of the gas phase monoxo complexes Cl4W=O and Br4W=O have not been experimentally determined. However, it is probable to approximate the vibrational frequency through the likeness with the corresponding oxy-halides such as X4Mo = O and X3V=O that are correspondingly guided via electronegativity order of the halide ligands. This kind of assessment proposes the mono-oxo W=O vibrations for oxy-halides such as Cl4W=O and Br4W=O must arise respectively around 1024 and 1010 cm−1. Furthermore, vibrational spectra analysis of X2W(=O)2 oxy-halides (di-oxo) have not been regulated, but IR fingerprints for Br2Mo(=O)2 have been reported and display their v\ns/v\nas vibrations in the range 995/970 cm−1. Same values for the ions such as [Se2Mo (=O)2]2− and [Se2W(=O)2]2− are respectively observed around 864/834, and 888/845 cm−1 [38, 39]. It is worth mentioning, that the selenium covering di-oxo ions display alike vibrations. Beyond this range of W-containing ion vibrates lies in the order 10–24 cm−1 which is greater related to agreeing to Mo-containing ion. From this discussion, it can be suggested that oxy-halide of gas-phase Br2W(=O)2 would vibrate in the range 1020/980 cm−1 by similarity with Br2Mo(=O)2 [40, 41].

To prepare transition metal oxides, a variety of routes can be employed such as high temperatures and pressures, hydrothermal conditions, controlled reducing and oxidizing atmospheres, and so on. A ceramic method is commonly utilized to prepare these oxides, involving continuous grinding and heat treatment of reactant materials (e.g. carbonates, oxides, etc). These oxides have got the attention to prepare under the suitable conditions of milder and minor energy-consumption. For homogeneous mixing of reactants on an atomic scale, precursor method has been utilized [42]. Compared to ceramic technique, diffusion distance is effectively diminishes by this approach from 10,000 Å to 100 Å. Furthermore, solid solutions of hydroxides nitrates, and carbonates, have been frequently utilized to aim for this purpose besides the precursor compounds. Novel oxides that acquire challenging scheme to prepare can also be synthesized by this method. Similarly, topochemical reactions produce rare oxides such as synthesis of MoO3 and ReO3 structure by topochemical dehydration. By this dehydration reaction, Mo1-xWxO3 has also been synthesized. Further examples of synthesizes of rare oxides by topochemical reaction are reported in the literature [43]. A worth mentioning topochemical reaction is the addition of atomic species in oxides hosts. Thus, alkali metals and lithium have been injected into the different types of oxides such as MnO2, Fe3O4, TiO2, VO2, and ReO3. In the literature, intercalation phenomenon has been reviewed sufficiently. By employing slight oxidizing conditions, deintercalation of lithium and some alkali metals can be carried out steadily. Several innovative examples of deintercalation and intercalations phenomenons are being continuously conveyed. Recently, lithium injection to W19O55 and topochemical reactions of LixNbO2 has been reported. Ion exchange can be executed in the close-packed arranges of oxides, tunnel and layered structures. These reactions are also associated as topochemical and can be executed in molten media e.g., conversion to HNbO3 from LiNbO3 with hot aqueous acid [44]. The procedure of this reaction is contrary to transformation of ReO3 to LiReO3 (rhombohedral). Hydrogen can also be injected into holes of oxide with the company of Pt catalyst. Diversities of exchange reactions are huge for synthetic purposes. In the literature, many exchange reactions have been mentioned; two recent examples are given as the exchange properties of Na4Ti9O20 (X) H2O and intercalated effect of alkylammonium ion on cation (+) exchange properties of H2Ti3O7. Preparation of layered K2Ti4O9 and metastable TiO2 using a topotactic dihydroxylation is also an interesting example [42, 45].
\nThe vapor deposition method is a well-known technique among other synthesis methods. Complex oxides (Mo and Mo bronzes) have been synthesized by employing fused salt electrolysis. Under oxidizing conditions, the pyrochlores Bi[Ru2-x\n\n
Ended to the previous few decades, transition metal oxides nanostructures (TMON) have been extensively considered owing to attain excessive potential in optical, electronic, and magnetic applications. To accomplish extraordinary and exceptional performances, TMONs have been assimilated into the assortment of devices that consists of efficient photocatalysis, and enhanced gas sensing [49, 50]. In TMOs, although the electrons are permanently occupied in the s − shells of +ve metallic ions, the d − shells of TMOs may not be entirely occupied. This distinctive carries numerous exceptional properties in them, that comprises decent electrical characteristics [51, 52, 53] high dielectric constants [54, 55], reactive electronic transitions [56, 57], wide band gaps [58, 59], and so on. Meanwhile, TMOs owns several states including, ferrimagnetic, ferromagnetic, and semi-conductive state. Hence, TMOs are reflected in the absolute interesting functional materials. Catalysts are liquefied into liquid alloy droplets, which also comprise corresponding source metal. When alloy droplets attain supersaturated condition then the respective source metal initiates to precipitate which turns into metal oxide followed by the flow of oxygen. Generally, as−synthesized metal oxides especially rise along specific alignment, which resulted in the establishment of 1D nanostructure. Up to now, preparation approach for the metal oxide nanowires including In2O3, [60] CdO [61], TiO2 [62], ZnO [63], and SnO2 [64] have been accomplished using VLS mechanism. The VLS procedure corresponds to catalyst−aided growth whereas; VS route is attributed to the catalyst−free growth [65, 66]. The progression of VS method includes the reactants which are first heated to produce vapors followed by high temperature and then unswervingly condensed on the substrate. In this substrate, the seed crystals will be assisted to nucleation sites located and acquire shape. Facilitate directional growth followed will minimize the surface energy of product.
\nIn 1970s, the hydrothermal route was primarily hired to synthesize the various types of crystalline structures. Using this strategy, reactants are positioned in the sealed vessel that followed water as the solvent (reaction medium). A reaction in hydrothermal approach proceeds in the presence of high temperature that causes to produce high pressure. This procedure can speed up the reactions among ions and finally endorse the hydrolysis. Eventually, self−assembly, as well as the growth and of crystals, will be succeeded as the consequence of reaction mechanism in solution. Merits of this process contain mild reaction conditions, easy monitoring, and importantly low cost. Morphology, crystallographic structure, and the properties of final product acquired through hydrothermal route can be accomplished by altering the experimental limitations that involve the variance in time, reaction medium, temperature, and pressure, etc. Surfactants are familiarized with the arrangement to advance hydrothermal route. The surfactant-promoted method has been verified to results in an efficacious manner in order to fabricate metal oxide owing to an assortment of morphologies. Three phases are always involved in the system firstly, oil phase secondly, surfactant phase, and lastly, aqueous phase. In the progression of route, surfactants can restrain the growth of final product. Meanwhile, pH value, concentration of reactants, and temperature also has necessary guidance on the structure, properties, and morphology of the product [2, 67, 68, 69].
\nTo prepare one dimensional (1-D) metal-oxide nanostructures such as wires/fibers [70, 71], nanorods [72, 73, 74], nanotubes [75, 76], hemitubes [77], nanobelts [78, 79], and needles/tips [70, 80], enormous attempts have been made. To enhance the morphological parameters, VS and VLS are the two main growth mechanisms used in vapor phase method. By changing variables such as assisting electric field, substrate, catalyst, pre-treatment, deposition temperature, etc., morphologies of required products can be controlled. Vapor phase method in the presence of oxygen obtained WO3 1-D nanostructures which have high aspect ratios (Figure 5a) showed exceptional results in field emission display (Figure 5b) and also in some other applications such as gas sensors, photodetectors, and so on. It’s convenient to comprehend monoclinic formation (three unequal axes) of γ-WO3 phase which is stable at 17–320 °C by assuming the growth temperature under 1000 °C, transition of phase in WO3 is not completely reversible while the most stable phase reported at room temperature is γ-WO3 [2].

Heterogeneous substrates are used to grow 1-D nanostructures [70, 83], affected by the substrate surface, mostly, they exhibited {001} growth direction beside length (Figure 5c), while W + Si supported Au film or nanowires on Si wafer showed {010} or {100}/{010} growth direction (Figure 5d,e). Due to lack of oxygen gas WO2 nanowires were synthesized caused by oxidation of Ni, by restoring the substrate with Si + W succeeded by Ni film (Figure 5f) [83]. By using vapor phase method, WO3-τ (0 < τ < 1) 1-D nanostructures (e.g. W18O29) can be manufactured with poor oxygen atmosphere (react with slighter oxygen source or gas like carbon dioxde) [84, 85]. Because of closely packed planes such as {010}, one-dimensional W18O29 nanostructures (e.g. nanoneedles, nanowire, nanotip, etc., substrates dependent) commonly revealed monoclinic (unequal axes) phase with the selective growth along {010} direction (Figure 6).

Substrates are conventionally utilized for growth of hierarchical structures in vapor phase method. On the Si substrate surface along with polystyrene spheres monolayer, 0-D and 2-D structures of α-Fe2O3 can be attained by PLD-CVD at an oxygen pressure 60 and 6 Pascal, respectively [87], as shown in Figure 7a-d. Since there is deficiency of Fe atoms and O atoms are in excess in {110} plane, so for preferential growth along {110} direction, it can be assumed to be driving force. Single dimensional-based 3-D Fe3O4 successfully synthesized in an autoclave on its wall (Figure 7e and f) through the pyrolysis of ferrocene (supercritical carbon dioxide at 450 °C) Cao et al.

On the substrate of FTO (Figure 7g–i), nanoplatelet of α-Fe2O3 can be obtained at room temperature in a PECVD system, whose thickness can be increase by increasing the amount of Fe sources [89].

Multiple FeOx arranged nanostructures can be prepared through simple solution method, precursor based method, template-directed, and solvo/hydrothermal reaction in liquid phase method. By precursor based method [90, 91] and solvo/hydrothermal reaction [92], 0-D based FeOx arranged nanostructures (mesoporous particles such as spheres, cubes, super-structures, hollow spheres/bowls, etc. (Figure 8a–c) are commonly prepared. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have received great attention as an advanced type of precursors with controllable properties such as shape, composition, size, and internal structure for MOX arranged nanostructures. For example, Fe2O3 microboxes synthesized by Lou et al. [93] with different shell structures (Figure 8e–j) based on appropriate annealing of pre-formed PB (Prussian blue) microcubes (Figure 8d) [2].

As-synthesized Fe2O3 micro boxes having unique shell structures and distinguish cycling performance unveiled high lithium storage capacities when evaluated for lithium-ion batteries as potential anode material. Furthermore, using controlled chemical etching, hollow interiors could be generated inside the PB nanoparticles in poly (vinylpyrrolidone) presence, [94] porous nanostructures of iron oxide having hollow interiors, various phases of these PB nanoparticles (preliminary precursors) can be synthesized by controlled calcination.
\nDue to the potential uses in various fields like waste removal, biologically active agent protection, chemical, biological sensors, catalysis, and bimolecular-release systems, well-defined 0-D ZnO hollow structures have attracted much attention. So in past few years, many successful attempts were made to prepare hollow structures of ZnO. The template-assisted technique is now the main focus of researchers which conventionally employed spherobacteria, carbon spheres, polystyrene spheres, and so on as template for hollow structures growth of ZnO. Under hydrothermal conditions, conversion of Zn(NH3\n\n

Over the past decade, due to unique electronic, magnetic, and optical applications metal oxide materials arising as potential candidates with fruitful functionalities have been extensively studied. These applications will be discussed briefly in this section.
\nIn photovoltaics stable and environment-friendly metal oxide semiconductors are used in dye−sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) as photoelectrode or to design p-n junctions of metal oxide. Materials have been examined for photoelectrodes purpose in DSSCs (Figure 10) such as binary metal oxides (ZrO2, Fe2O3, TiO2, Al2O3, ZnO, Nb2O5) and ternary compounds (SrTiO3, Zn2SnO4). Due to high thermal and chemical stability, a hole blocking property, and suitable electron selectivity Nb2O5, ZnO, and TiO2 are excellent expectant as a photoelectrode [2, 99, 100].
\nSchematic diagram of the nanowire dye-sensitized solar cell based on a ZnO wire array [99].
In technology, lithium-ion batteries made up of metal oxide nanoparticles (SnO2, Co3O4, Fe2O3, TiO2, and complex metal oxides) enable superior rate capability; better cycling performance and high specific capacity are arising as the best choice for portable electronics. Its applications include electronics, electric vehicles, etc. Transition metal oxides hold boundless potential towards high-energy-density anode due to their better capacities than those which are commercially utilized as anode material such as graphite [2, 101, 102].
\nIn most highlighted photocatalytic areas TiO2 has been the most promising material as a photocatalyst. In last 3 decades, TiO2 attracted notable scientific and technological consequences (Figure 11). Similarly, to study other photocatalytic oxidation properties metal oxides (ZnO, SnO2, Fe2O3, WO3, Cu2O, SrTiO3) have been studied in detail. High crystallinity and large surface area with more active sites reduce recombination rate of photo−generated electron–holes pairs are the properties of the best photocatalyst. For oxygen (O2) evolution by photocatalysis from H2O under irradiation of visible light, highly−arranged tungsten oxide (m − WO3) hybridized with reduced graphene-oxide has been synthesized. Tremendous photocatalytic properties have been shown by CdS nanorods/reduced graphene-oxide composites had excellent photocatalytic properties with a rate constant was around three times greater than CdS nanorods for the degradation of MO [2, 103].
\nScheme of photo-induced processes at a TiO2 semiconductor/electrolyte interface [103].
Electrical conductance sensitive to ambient gas composition, rising from interactions of charges with volatile organic compounds, reactive gases (O2, CO, NOx), hydrocarbons, and semiconducting metal oxides (WO3, TiO2, SnO2, ZnO) are utilized for gas sensing applications. The effort was made to acquire better results towards low pollutant gas concentrations under low operating temperatures for gas sensing materials. For the detection of harmful gases and large scale, thermal stability under operating conditions of sensors SnO2 nanostructures has attracted the most attention [2, 104].
\nIn biomedical field, magnetic metal oxides have been used with biological agents, have excellent applications. As superparamagnetic Fe3O4 can act as potent nanoprobes magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH), biosensors, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are biocompatible and stable chemically as well as magnetically. For therapy and targeted drug delivery, Ferrite MFe2O4 (where M = Mn, Zn, Ni, Co, etc.) has also been characterized and studied [105, 106, 107].
\nThe synergic effects and complex chemical configurations of several metal species in the TMOs induce noteworthy electrochemical performance. Numerous elegant approaches including compositions and manipulation of the micro/nanostructures have been widely established, that aims to endorse utilization of TMOs in everyday energy conversion technologies and enhancement of electrochemical performance. However, each designed approach applies lonely that normally consequences in partial enhancement in of electrodes based upon TMOs with respect to their electrochemical performance. Thus, it is more fascinating to assimilate manifold stimulating design approaches, therefore aggregating their electrochemical performance to meet today’s energy demands.
\nThe mainstream of research reports owing to the utilization of TMOs related to boost energy storage devices is primarily based on the observations of a specific experiment. A wide-ranging insight into the connection among the composition (structure) and properties of these TMOs that are related to their performance has not been systematically attained yet. Thus, effective and reliable methods and standards are necessary to develop urgently to assess the energy storage devices that are based on TMOs. Theoretical simulation and mathematical modeling are also greatly anticipated to be established in order to direct large-scale, low-cost, and facile fabrication along with the purposeful design of TMOs for greater electrochemical performance.
\nRealizing the unsuccessful mechanisms upon cycling in the electrodes based upon TMOs for LIBs is crucial to direct the scheme and design of progressive materials. This needs to understand the compositional parameter and structural evolution as well as consideration of electrolyte compatibility matter. The amendment of electrolytes including certain reversible redox-couples (as additives) in aqueous electrolytes has been demonstrated that could considerably progress the general electrochemical progress of pseudo-capacitive materials. Thus, we also assume that appropriate scheme and design of electrolytes could additionally elevate the electrochemical performance of TMOs for both rechargeable batteries. Additionally, the assessment of pseudo-capacitive progress of TMOs is generally accomplished in aqueous electrolytes. This accomplishment is unescapably restricts the energy density owing to a slight stable potential window of aqueous electrolytes. Several other non-aqueous electrolytes that belong to organic class have been studied to boost output operating voltage which usually delivers 2–3 times broader working voltage window as compared to aqueous ones. Hence, the investigation of ECs that are based upon TMO (using organic electrolytes) is of great significance to attain greater energy density that will significantly cover the practical implementation of ECs. Besides the assessment based on electrochemical progress, other concerns about cost, and comfort, protection, and environmental compatibility of production and manipulation must also be engaged into thoughtful concern when TMOs are developing for LIBs to make them industrially applicable. It must be stressed about the synthesis mechanism of these TMO materials as it must be definitely scalable for commercial applications.
\nA complex method is the electrochemical reduction of oxygen over TMO catalysts that can comprise altered mechanisms that can be regulated through the nature of TMOs, owing to their adsorption and physicochemical properties. Till now, limited studies that are mainly attentive to the effect of catalyst features, mechanism, and kinetics of complex method discussed above. Further, adsorbed oxygen on the reaction rate, the intrinsic interactions between TMO catalysts and carbonaceous matrixes are also involved. The only trouble that is associated with examining the electrochemical procedures on TMOs are related to their semiconducting properties. These properties can lead to change in the behaviors of reactions on TMOs catalysts in comparison with the metal-based catalysts. Future progress might lead to extremely effective and inexpensive TMO catalysts after some heightened between the corrosion resistance, electro-catalytic experiment, fabrication cost, thermodynamic stability, and long-term stability.
\nGiven the difficulties ahead, there is optimism that TMOs will be the materials forum soon for overcoming many of the existing bottlenecks problems in sustainable and renewable energy storage/conversion sectors. To accomplish this purpose, momentous improvements in electrochemical efficiency and a comprehensive understanding of TMOs dynamics in energy storage/conversion applications must be established. These fascinating TMO materials will provide a new path to make desirable energy innovations that will economically feasible with continued and committed research efforts.
