There are a variety of methods for synthesizing or fabricating one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures containing heterojunctions between different materials. Here we review recent developments in the synthesis and fabrication of heterojunctions formed between different materials within the same 1D nanostructure or between different 1D nanostructures composed of different materials. Structures containing 1D nanoscale heterojunctions exhibit interesting chemistry as well as size, shape, and material-dependent properties that are unique when compared to single-component materials. This leads to new or enhanced properties or multifunctionality useful for a variety of applications in electronics, photonics, catalysis, and sensing, for example. This review separates the methods into vapor-phase synthesis, solution-phase synthesis, template-based synthesis, and other approaches, such as lithography, electrospinning, and assembly. These methods are used to form a variety of heterojunctions, including segmented, core/shell, branched, or crossed, from different combinations of semiconductor, metal, carbon, and polymeric materials.

“…Recently, MONSTRs have been used in proof-of-concept electronic 1 – 5 , optical 6 – 8 , and sensing 9 – 14 devices; yet, their synthesis techniques endure several hurdles that limit their large-scale production. So far, various approaches have been used to synthesize metal oxide nanostructures, including chemical vapor deposition 15 – 17 , thermal evaporation 18 – 20 , hydrothermal 21 – 23 , and laser ablation 24 , 25 . Each of these methods incorporates challenging aspects such as being limited to only a few number of materials, costly processing or demanding high temperatures, which have limited their commercial applications.…”

Surfaces with metal oxide nanostructures have gained considerable interest in applications such as sensors, detectors, energy harvesting cells, and batteries. However, conventional fabrication techniques suffer from challenges that hinder wide and effective applications of such surfaces. Most of the metal oxide nanostructure synthesis methods are costly, complicated, non-scalable, environmentally hazardous, or applicable to only certain few materials. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a simple metal oxide nanostructure fabrication method that can overcome all these limitations and pave the way to the industrial application of such surfaces. Here, we demonstrate that a wide variety of metals can form metal oxide nanostructures on their surfaces after simply interacting with hot water. This method, what we call hot water treatment, offers the ability to grow metal oxide nanostructures on most of the metals in the periodic table, their compounds, or alloys by a one-step, scalable, low-cost, and eco-friendly process. In addition, our findings reveal that a “plugging” mechanism along with surface diffusion is critical in the formation of such nanostructures. This work is believed to be of importance especially for researchers working on the growth of metal oxide nanostructures and their application in functional devices.

“…The nanoparticles have lower melting point than the normal bulk materials [15]. In our experiment, these nanoparticles might be molten [16] and diffused into amorphous SiO x nanowire, then agglomorate together to reduce their surface area and thus the surface energy, leading to the formation of alloy nanowires embedded in SiO x nanowires. Therefore, the cores of as-prepared nanowires are FeCoNi alloy wires.…”
