Abstract
Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) have been demonstrated as one of the promising building blocks for future nanodevcies such as field effect transistors, solar cells, sensors and lithium battery; much progress has been made in this field during last decades. In this review paper, the synthesis and physical properties of SiNWs are introduced briefly. Significant advances of SiNWs-related nanodevices reported in recent literature and registered patents are reviewed. The latest development and prospects of SiNWs-related nanodevices are also discussed.

Advances in Vanadium and Titanium Resources for High-performance Materials via Nanostructuring and Nanoengineering (updated BMS-NANOTEC-2023-HT-31)
Vanadium and titanium-based materials are ideal candidates for structural and functional materials in aerospace, biomedical engineering, optics, catalysis, energy storage and conversion etc. Vanadium/titanium-based alloys, compounds and materials have a large family with different chemical compositions, dimensions, structures/morphologies, and chemical/physical/mechanical properties, which provides huge opportunities for the development of emerging ...read more
Green Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials for a Sustainable Environment
Green nanotechnology (GN) might wind up being the most efficient platform for achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda. The goal of GN is to create goods and procedures that are secure, energy-efficient, waste-free, and emit fewer greenhouse gases. Such goods and procedures use renewable resources, and/or their environmental impact ...read more
Nano-coatings and Nanoscale Composites for Hazardous Environments
Automobile, defence, and aerospace sectors need lightweight material for fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Often these materials are added with nanoscale reinforcements or have to be coated with nanomaterials to improve the scratch resistance, self-healing behaviour and corrosion and wear resistance and are all much needed for hazardous environments without ...read more
NANOSTRUCTURED NEUROMORPHIC DEVICES: TOWARDS IN MATERIA COMPUTING
The efforts pursued in the last decade to build up brain-inspired systems with electronic hardware solutions to solve complex data processing tasks, have leaded to the development of a new generation of devices, as memristor crossbar arrays, and their different applications became more and more reliable. One of the basic ...read more
