  • To demonstrate the assembly of these 1D nanostructures into functional macroscopic architectures.
  • To explore the potential applications of these engineered nanomaterials.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a hydrothermal method for large-scale synthesis of ultrathin tellurium nanowires (TeNWs) as versatile templates.
  • Utilizing TeNWs' reactivity and processability in a multiplex templating process to create various 1D nanostructures (metals, oxides, semiconductors, polymers, hybrids).
  • Assembly of the synthesized 1D nanostructures into macroscopic forms like membranes, films, hydrogels, and aerogels.

Main Results:

  • Successful synthesis of a wide array of high-quality 1D nanostructures using TeNW templates, preserving their high aspect ratio and flexibility.
  • Fabrication of diverse macroscopic architectures including free-standing membranes, films, hydrogels, and aerogels from the templated 1D nanostructures.
