Summary

Nanostructures of one dimension (1D) are being studied for a wide range of substances due to their unique physical and structural properties as well as their possibilities of being utilized in future technologies. 1D hybrid nanostructures such as nanorods, nanowires, nanobelts, and nanotubes offer high surface area and have distinctive optical and electrical features. Due to their unique characteristics, they exhibit huge potential for application as gas sensors; therefore, 1D semiconductors have gathered much attention in both basic and applied research. This chapter provides a detailed account of methods of fabrication and applications of the 1D hybrid nanostructure.
