Abstract

Metal oxides constitute a large class of nanowires that have been investigated for the last three decades. They show various electrical properties, including metallic, semiconducting, insulating and superconducting, and various magnetic properties. Metal oxide nanowires have been applied in various chemical sensors as well as electromechanical, optoelectronic, field-effect transistors and field emission applications. The synthetic methods used to produce nanowires of binary metal oxides such as MgO, Al2O3, SnO2, TiO2, ZnO etc., and also complex ternary and quaternary metal oxides are described.
