Template-Assisted Hydrothermal Growth of Aligned Zinc Oxide Nanowires for Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Applications

A flexible and robust piezoelectric nanogenerator (NG) based on a polymer-ceramic nanocomposite structure has been successfully fabricated via a cost-effective and scalable template-assisted hydrothermal synthesis method. Vertically aligned arrays of dense and uniform zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires (NWs) with high aspect ratio (diameter ∼250 nm, length ∼12 μm) were grown within nanoporous polycarbo...

Electrochemical fabrication of textured Bi2Te3 nanowire arrays

Initiated by the theoretical works of Hicks and Dresselhaus [1], the interest in nanostructured materials as more efficient thermoelectric materials has increased enormously. Recent experimental results on structures ranging from superlattices [2] to Si nanowires [3,4] emphasize the potential of tailoring materials properties by implementing finiteand quantum-size effects to circumvent classica...

Self-supported particle-track-etched polycarbonate membranes as templates for cylindrical polypyrrole nanotubes and nanowires: an X-ray scattering and scanning force microscopy investigation.

Self-supported particle-track-etched polycarbonate membranes with nearly perfect cylindrical pores are used for the preparation of similarly perfect cylindrical polypyrrole nanowires and nanotubes. A complete investigation of the structural properties that result at different stages of the preparation route of polypyrrole nanowires and nanotubes is based on a combination of real and reciprocal ...

Electrochemical fabrication of Cu/Pd multilayer nanowires in polycarbonate template

  In this work,copper/palladium (Cu/Pd) multilayer nanowires were successfully prepared by electrodeposition method using polycarbonate template. The fabrication of Pd/Cu multilayer nanowires was controlled by analyzing the current–time transient during electrodeposition using potentiostat. The morphological properties of the nanowires were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and resu...
