Recent reports of hot-electron-induced dissociation of small molecules, such as hydrogen, demonstrate the potential application of plasmonic nanostructures for harvesting light to initiate catalytic reactions. Theories have assumed that plasmonic …
Synthesis of low-dimensional carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a key driver for achieving advances in energy storage, computing, and multifunctional composites, among other applications. Here, we report high-yield thermal …
This paper presents a new approach to synthesizing self-aligned, uniform single-crystal cupric oxide (CuO) nanowires on a Cu-based multilayer on SiO2/Si. The key is to introduce CoWP as a nanofilter to catalyze CuO-nanowire synthesis simply by …
