We have developed a simple method of fabricating liquid metal nanowire (NW) arrays of eutectic GaIn (EGaIn). When an EGaIn droplet anchored on a flat substrate is pulled perpendicular to the substrate surface at room temperature, an hourglass shaped EGaIn is formed. At the neck of the shape, based on the Plateau–Rayleigh instability, the EGaIn bridge with periodically varying thicknesses is formed. Finally, the bridge is broken down by additional pulling. Then, EGaIn NW is formed at the surface of the breakpoint. In addition, EGaIn NW arrays are found to be fabricated by pulling multiple EGaIn droplets on a substrate simultaneously. The average diameter of the obtained NW was approximately 0.6 μm and the length of the NW depended on the amount of droplet anchored on the substrate. The EGaIn NWs fabricated in this study may be used for three-dimensional wiring for integrated circuits, the tips of scanning probe microscopes, and field electron emission arrays.

Vertically aligned noble metal nanowire arrays exhibited much enhanced electrocatalytic activity owing to their morphological effects, achieving a 38.0 fold increase over that of commercial catalysts for ethanol electrooxidation.

Spectral selectivity absorber is a key component in the solar collectors, which absorbs solar energy and converts it to thermal energy by heating liquid water. Metal nanowire arrays (NWAs) have potential to be used as solar collector because of good optical absorption in the visible region. In the paper, we use finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) solutions to calculate the optical absorption and spectral selectivity of nickel (Ni) NWA/AAO composites. By changing the length (L), fill-factor (FF), and surface roughness, we simulate the optical absorption and the spectral selectivity in terms of structural parameters of Ni NWA/AAO composites. Results demonstrate that Ni NWA/AAO composites with the length of 2 μm and the fill-factor of 0.13 (the diameter is 0.04 μm) have good optical absorption and spectral selectivity,and rough surfaces is better for higher conversion efficiency of Ni NWA/AAO composites.
