Corn-like nanowires
Corn-like nanowire is a one-dimensional nanostructure with interconnected nanoparticles on the surface with a large percentage of reactive facets. Bakhshayesh et al. presented TiO2 corn-like nanowires as the light scattering layer in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The structure, prepared by a two consecutive hydrothermal method, improves the efficiency of solar cells thanks to its desirable properties in light scattering and also high rate of electron transference. Structural properties of CdSe corn-like nanowires grown by chemical bath deposition were also studied by Gubur et al..
