Recent Progress in Titanium Silicide Nanowires: Properties, Preparations and Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

The rapid development of nanotechnology has opened up multiple areas of application of titanium silicide nanowires including microscopic fields, sensor and catalyst areas and electrode materials, as well as their potential applications in nanodevices. The preparation of titanium silicide nanowires can be summarized as top-down method and bottom-up method. Its necessary to find some simple and quick ways to prepare titanium silicide nanowires with the desirable pattern. Recent advances in manipulating titanium silicide nanowires are discussed with a focus on the progress of nanowire preparations and applications.
