Au nanowires have attracted significant interest in nanomaterials research owing to their chemical stability and high conductivity for potential nanoelectronic applications. However, previous syntheses yielded only polycrystalline Au nanowires with diameters larger than 10 nm. Very recent advances in solution-phase synthesis have led to the formation of ultrathin single-crystalline Au nanowires with diameters of less than 10 nm. This Focus Review summarizes the synthesis, characterization, and transport studies of these ultrathin single-crystalline Au nanowires for potential electronic device applications.
由于其化学稳定性和高导电性，金纳米线在纳米材料研究中引起了广泛关注，具有潜在的纳米电子应用前景。然而，以往的合成方法仅能得到直径大于10纳米的多晶金纳米线。最近溶液相合成技术的进展使得直径小于10纳米的超薄单晶金纳米线得以形成。本聚焦综述总结了这些超薄单晶金纳米线在潜在电子器件应用方面的合成、表征及输运研究。
