| Popis: | The fabrication of thin films comprising ordered nanowire assemblies with emerging, precisely defined properties and adjustable functionalities enables highly integrated technologies in the fields of microelectronics and micro system technology, as well as for efficient power generation, storage, and utilization. Shear force, theoretically, is deemed the most promising method for obtaining in-plane, uniaxial thin films comprising nanowires. The success depends largely on the assembly process, and uniform structural control throughout multiple length scales can be achieved only if a rational strategy is executed. Here, we report that in shearing processes dopants such as lyotropic cellulose nanorods can give rise to the uniaxial alignment of V2O5·nH2O nanowires. Our systematic study indicates that this finding, namely, the nanocombing effect, can be a general principle for the continuous production of uniaxial thin films comprising densely packed nanowires varying in chemical composition and aspect ratios.... |
