- Abstract
- In this microreview, the recent progress on various synthetic methods for 1D semiconductor nanowires is summarized. The colloidal synthetic method has been popularly employed to prepare various semiconductor nanorods/nanowires such as ZnS and TiO2. The vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) synthetic method has been used to fabricate Si and ZnO nanowires. For the growth of semiconductor nanowires by the VLS method, metals that can form a eutectic mixture with a target material have been used as catalysts. After the first report on the synthesis of crystalline III-V semiconductor nanowires by the solution-liquid-solid (SLS) method, various kinds of III-V and II-VI semiconductor nanowires have been synthesized by the SLS method. Various types of templates, including anodic aluminum oxide (AAO), sacrificial nanowire templates, and self-assembled surfactants, have been employed to fabricate 1D semiconductor nanowires that resemble the shape of the template employed. Using 1D semiconductor nanowires, high-performance photovoltaic cells can be fabricated due to facile electron transport within nanowires.
