Introduction One-dimensional nanomaterials have been reported plentifully, owing to its fascinating characteristics. One-dimensional nanomaterials, as an important member of the nanomaterial selleck family, have been widely applied in the formation of a nanodevice. In recent years, several research

have reported on various one-dimensional nanomaterial-based nanodevices, including field effect transistors (FETs) [1–4], nanogenerators [5], and solar cells [6]. Compared with conventional devices, nanodevices based on one-dimensional nanomaterials have certain characteristics, including superspeed, superhigh frequency; high integration density; and low power consumption. These characteristics C59 impel one-dimensional nanomaterial-based nanodevices to be a vast potential prospect for future development in nanoelectronics and optoelectronics. All of these embody the excellent properties of one-dimensional nanomaterials. As two-dimensional nanomaterials, thin film materials also have special properties like quantum effect and broadened bandgap. Compared with thin film materials, one-dimensional nanomaterials have a more obvious quantum effect, higher surface energy, and larger surface activity. Nanowires/nanotubes/nanobelts as quasi-one-dimensional nanostructure are ideal building blocks for nanoscale devices. With the advent of modern times, higher performance devices are desired. In order to get more high-performance devices, the pivotal problem is how to get better quality materials.
