Abstract
A method for forming well-aligned metallic nanowires includes: (a) providing a substrate formed with a crystal layer thereon; (b) disposing the substrate in such a manner that the crystal layer faces downwardly; (c) applying a metal salt solution, which contains metal ions therein, to the crystal layer on the substrate; and (d) subjecting the metal ions in the metal salt solution on the crystal of TiO2 layer to a reduction treatment, thereby resulting in reduced metal that grows downward toward earth's gravity.
Claims11
A method for forming metallic nanowires, comprising:
- (a) providing a first substrate formed with a crystal layer thereon;
- (b) disposing the first substrate in such a manner that the crystal layer faces downwardly;
- (c) applying a metal salt solution, which contains metal ions therein, to the crystal layer on the first substrate;
- (d) providing a second substrate disposed below the first substrate and sandwiching the metal salt solution between the first and second substrates;
- and
- (e) subjecting the metal ions in the metal salt solution on the crystal layer to a heating reduction treatment, thereby resulting in reduced metal that grows downward toward earth's gravity.
