Description of Zinc Oxide Nanowires
A nanowire can be defined as a one-dimensional structure having a lateral limit of fewer than 100 nanometers (with no limitation in the longitudinal direction). At this scale, quantum mechanical effects are important and are therefore also referred to as "quantum wires." As an important part of nanotechnology, nanowires can be used to make ultra-small circuits.
ZnO nanowires have good UV luminescence properties at room temperature. At the same time, ZnO nanowires have high mechanical strength, high luminous efficiency, low laser emission threshold, and high chemical stability. Now ZnO nanowires have been used in catalytic, photoelectric, magnetic, and sensitive industries.
