Nanowire networks: three-dimensional SnO2 nanowire networks for multifunctional applications: from high-temperature stretchable ceramics to ultraresponsive sensors

Abstract

Stretchable three-dimensional ceramic networks constructed from quasi-one-dimensional metal oxide nanostructures are versatile candidates for using nanoscopic structures in everyday technologies. The growth of such networks built from SnO2 nanostructures is realized by a simple flame transport synthesis. As reported by Lorenz Kienle, Rainer Adelung, Yogendra Kumar Mishra, and co-workers in article number 1500081, these grown SnO2 nanostructures with unique structural defects can be used for sensing applications.
