Review on one-dimensional nanostructures prepared by electrospinning and atomic layer deposition

Abstract

This paper reviews the various lD nanostructures, which were prepared by electrospinning and atomic layer deposition (ALD). On the one hand, electrospinning served to make sacrificial polymer templates for the ALD growth; and thus various single or multilayer inorganic nanotubes were obtained. On the other hand, polymer, polymer/inorganic or inorganic nanowire templates were produced by electrospinning. By a consecutive ALD reaction various core/shell nanowires were synthesized.
