INTRODUCTION:
• In the past decade, semiconductor nanowires have been extensively investigated for the next generation of
devices including photodetectors, photocatalysis, photovoltaics, thermoelectric, and quantum information
processing, among other applications. Nanowires arerods or pillars of semiconductor material with one
dimension (the nanowire diameter) on theorder of 10 nm to a few hundred nanometers, and length that is
much greater than the diameter(on the order of microns or longer).
• Nanowires can be defined as structures that have a thickness or diameter constrained to tens of nanometers
or less and an unconstrained length. At these scales the quantum mechanical effects are important which
coined the term "Quantum Wires"
HISTORY:
• nanowire, thin wire , generally having a diameter less than or equal to 100 nanometers (1 nm = 1 × 10−9
metre). The first nanoscale quantum-well wire (a thinly layered semiconductor structure) was developed in
1987 by scientists at Bell Laboratories . A nanowire of more-refined design was developed and described
in 1991 by Belgium engineer Jean-Pierre Colinge. Since then, nanowires have been investigated for
possible applications in many fields, including optics, electronics , and genetics. Significantly, these
studies show the Si/Al2O3 core/shell nanowires with 10 nm thick shells remain stable for at least 100
days in both media at 37 °C.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY NANO WIRE:
• A nanowire is a nanostructure in the form of a wire with the diameter of the order of a nanometre
(10−9 metres). More generally, nanowires can be defined as structures that have a thickness or diameter
constrained to tens of nanometers or less and an unconstrained length. At these scales, quantum mechanical
effects are important which coined the term "quantum wires".
• Many different types of nanowires exist, including superconducting metallic (e.g. Ni, Pt, Au, Ag),
semiconducting (e.g. silicon nanowires (SiNWs), InP, GaN) and insulating (e.g. SiO2, TiO2).
• Molecular nanowires are composed of repeating molecular units either organic (e.g. DNA) or inorganic (e.g.
Mo6S9−xIx)
HOW ARE NANO WIRES PREPARED:
• A nanowire is an extremely thin wire with a diameter equal to one thousandth of a human
hair. They are made out of many different materials, for example metals such as silver and
nickel, semiconductor materials such as silicon and gallium arsenide, and insulating
material such as silicon oxide. Nanowires can be made from a wide variety of materials,
including silicon, germanium, carbon, and various conductive metals, such as gold and
copper. Their small size makes them good conductors, with electrons passing easily
through them, a property that has allowed for important advances in computer science.
WHAT ARE NANO WIRES USED FOR:
• A nanowire is an extremely thin wire with a diameter equal to one thousandth of a

human hair. They are made out of many different materials, for example metals such as
silver and nickel, semiconductor materials such as silicon and gallium arsenide, and
insulating material such as silicon oxide. Nanowires are extensively used in
nanoelectronic devices as connectors for the transportation of electrons. Cobalt, copper,
silicon, and gold have been utilized to make nanowires. Chemical vapor deposition is
used for the production of nanowires (Njuguna et al., 2014).
PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS OF NANO WIRE:
• Nanowires are promising materials for many novel applications
Not only because of their UNIQUE GEOMETRY, but also because they possess many
unique physical properties, including:
-Electrical
-Magnetic
-Optical
-Mechanical
ADVANTAGES OF NANO WIRE:
• 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 1D 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).
DISADVANTAGES OF NANO WIRE:
NWs must be assembled into a composite containing conducting carbon and binders to
maintain good electronic conduction throughout.
• It is expensive.
• Only anodes are manufactured by nanowires.
CONCLUSION:
• The nanowires were characterized as pure and single crystal ß phase SiC with
diameters of several tens to 100nm and lengths of several tens of micrometers.
An amorphous carbon coating of ∼5nm was successfully deposited on the
nanowires in-situ as the nanowire/matrix interlayer.
