In the past decades, one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials, which exist as wires, fibers, belts, tubes or rods, arouse wide interests due to their new performances and amazing applications in a variety of fields. The 1D nanomaterials are suggested to provide a satisfying platform to rapidly transport electrons and enhance the chemical reactivity. Besides, the 1D nanomaterials show good stability, even under certain hostile environment, and this may be associated with their specific geometrical structure. Therefore, they can play as vital parts of the key units and inner connects to fabricate the nanoscale optoelectronic, electronic, sensing, biological along with electrochemical devices.
In photocatalysts and electrocatalysts, the surface area is the dominant factor to decide the extent of catalysis and its efficiency, and those materials with 1D morphology are superior to the those with particles when the recycling and aggregation are concerned. With this respect, the use of 1D nanostructures as photocatalysts and electrocatalysts is an upcoming field of interest.
The goal of this Research Topic is to highlight recent developments in the design and synthesis of 1D nanostructures and their inspired applications in photocatalysts and electrocatalysts.
The Topic Editors welcome submissions of Original Research, Review, Mini Review and Perspective articles that address, but are not limited to.
(1) Rational design of novel 1D nanostructures.
(2) Design of novel 1D nanostructures towards their photocatalytic applications.
(3) Design of novel 1D nanostructures towards their electrocatalysis applications.
(4) Experimental and theoretical studies on 1D nanostructures-based catalysis.
(5) New techniques to study 1D nanostructures.
