    INTRODUCTION TO NANOWIRES:
    Nanowires are long, thin structures with
    diameters on the nanometer scale,
    typically ranging from 1 to 100
    nanometers. These remarkable materials
    exhibit unique electrical, optical, and
    chemical properties, making them a
    crucial focus in the field of
    nanotechnology.
    WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY NANO
    WIRES? Nanowires are one-dimensional
    structures with diameters on the
    nanometer scale.

    They have unique properties due to


    their small size and high aspect
    ratio.

    Nanowires have applications in


    electronics, sensors, and energy
    storage
    What Are Nanowires Made of ?
    Nanowires are metal just like other, regular wires.
    The only real difference in concept is their size.
    They also vary in complexity and uses. While they
    can do many of the same things, they have many
    other capabilities beyond those of regular wire.
    SYNTHESIS OF NANOWIRES :

    Nanowires can be synthesized using


    bottom-up or top-down approaches

    Bottom-up methods involve growing


    nanowires from atomic or molecular
    precursors

    Top-down methods involve etching


    larger structures to create nanowires.
    TYPES OF NANOWIRES :
    •Nanowires can be made from various materials,
    including metals, semiconductors, and oxides.

    •Semiconductor nanowires are particularly


    important for electronic applications.

    •Different materials exhibit unique properties,


    such as conductivity and band gap.
    Properties of Nanowires :

    Nanowires have high aspect ratios, large surface


    areas, and quantum confinement effects.

    They exhibit enhanced mechanical, electrical, and


    optical properties compared to bulk materials.

    Properties can be tuned by changing the diameter,


    length, or composition of nanowires.
    Advantages :
    ►The small NW diameter allows for better accommodation of the large volume
    changes without the initiation of fracture that can occur in bulk or micron-sized
    materials.

    ►NWs have direct ID electronic pathways allowing for efficient charge transport.

    ► In nanowire electrodes the carriers can move efficiently down the length of
    each wire.

    ►Nanowires can be grown directly on the metallic current collector.

    ►Protects from explosions.

    ► High storage capacity(4200mAh).
