Abstract

In the focused energy field method, localized heating, and convective mass transfer in a liquid precursor realizes selective synthesis and direct integration of 1D nanomaterials as well as their surface functionalization, all in a low-temperature, liquid environment. This allows facile fabrication of 1D nanomaterial-based nanoelectronic devices.

Keywords: localized synthesis; nanomaterial integration; nanowire; sensor; surface modification.
