Abstract
This article reviews progress in the growth of one-dimensional nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and inorganic nanowires. Catalyzed chemical vapor deposition has been the preferred method to grow these materials for various applications requiring controlled growth on patterned and unpatterned substrates. Both thermal and plasma chemical vapor deposition techniques have been widely used in the case of carbon nanotubes. In addition to the discussion on growth, a review of applications for one-dimensional nanostructures and future directions is provided.
