Biomass, a naturally abundant, sustainable and clean resource has great potential as an
alternative to replace the limited fossil feedstock for value‐added chemicals and fuels …

Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) have been studied extensively for over two decades for
their novel electronic, photonic, thermal, electrochemical and mechanical properties. This …

Whereas standard transmission electron microscopy studies are unable to preserve the
native state of chemically reactive and beam-sensitive battery materials after operation, such …

The quest for nanoscaling has extended beyond traditional metal oxides (1-4) and metal
(0),(5) as exemplified by the huge development of “quantum dots” chalcogenide …

Semiconductor nanowires, by definition, typically have cross-sectional dimensions that can
be tuned from 2–200 nm, with lengths spanning from hundreds of nanometres to millimetres …

Semiconductor nanowires have attracted extensive interest as one of the best-defined
classes of nanoscale building blocks for the bottom-up assembly of functional electronic and …

Solid-state chemists have been consistently successful in envisioning and making new
compounds, often enlisting the tools of theoretical solid-state physics to explain some of the …

Metallic materials are usually composed of single phase or multiple phases, which refers to
homogeneous regions with distinct types of the atom arrangement. The recent studies on …

Nanowires are filamentary crystals with a tailored diameter that can be obtained using a
plethora of different synthesis techniques. In this review, we focus on the vapor phase …

Controlling the crystallographic phase purity of III− V nanowires is notoriously difficult, yet
this is essential for future nanowire devices. Reported methods for controlling nanowire …
