Abstract
In this study, beard-like and sea cucumber-like silica structures have been successfully synthesized on the Si substrate by a novel and simple water assisted method. The investigation of SEM and TEM reveals that the as-grown products possess many similar features like that they all have a very big, nearly spherical microsized body and uncountable, high density and highly oriented silica nanowire antennas. It is proved that ultrafine nanosized metal catalysts could be generated on the surface of one microsized catalyst during their growth process due to the indications of surface local softening and different elastic deformation along different crystal plane taking place on the catalyst surface during growth process. Our results could introduce a new way to control the growth of high-density and well-oriented functional nanowire arrays with desired morphologies.
