Gas sensors play a pivotal role in environmental monitoring, with NO2 sensors standing out due to their exceptional selectivity and sensitivity. Yet, a prevalent challenge remains: the prolonged recovery time of many sensors, often spanning hundreds...
We prepared a highly sensitive and selective NO2 sensor, based on the TeO2 branched SnO2 nanowires (NWs), in terms of vapor-liquid-solid method, with subsequent growing of branches on the stems of SnO2 NWs. Fabricated sensors showed a high response h...
Results of comparative structural characterization of bare and Zn-covered ZnTe nanowires (NWs) before and after thermal oxidation at 300 °C are presented. Scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, high-resolution transmissio...
Ge-rich Ge–Sb–Te compounds are attractive materials for future phase change memories due to their greater crystallization temperature as it provides a wide range of applications. Herein, we report the self-assembled Ge-rich Ge–Sb&nd...
We report the self-assembly of core–shell GeTe/Sb2Te3 nanowires (NWs) on Si (100), and SiO2/Si substrates by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition, coupled to the vapour–liquid–solid mechanism, catalyzed by Au nanoparticles. Scanning electron micro...
Tellurium nanowires (TeNWs), a typical p-type semiconductor, have attracted significant attention in field-effect transistors (FETs) due to their narrow bandgap and high carrier mobility properties. However, fabricating large-area electronic devices...
We report on the functionality of our Thermoelectric Nanowire Characterization Platform (TNCP). As a proof of concept of our design, we present a set of experimental results obtained from the characterization of a single Bi2Te3 nanowire, allowing for...
Tissue engineering (TE) and nanomedicine require devices with hydrophilic surfaces to better interact with the biological environment. This work presents a study on the wettability of cubic silicon-carbide-based (SiC) surfaces. We developed four cubi...
This brief review covers the thermoelectric properties of one-dimensional materials, such as nanowires and nanotubes. The highly localised peaks of the electronic density of states near the Fermi levels of these nanostructured materials improve the S...
The purpose of this paper was to produce SiO2 and TiO2 nanowires via the electrospinning process from a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS)/Titanium (IV) butoxide (TNBT)/dimethylformamide (DMF) and ethanol (EtOH) solution. The...
Copper nanowires (CuNWs) have increasingly become subjected to academic and industrial research, which is attributed to their good performance as a transparent electrode (TE) material that competes with the one of indium tin oxide (ITO). Recently, an...
Silver nanowire (AgNW) networks have been intensively investigated in recent years. Thanks to their attractive physical properties in terms of optical transparency and electrical conductivity, as well as their mechanical performance, AgNW networks ar...
