ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to compositions of matter, systems, and methods to manufacture nanowires. In an embodiment, a method to produce a catalytic-coated nanowire growth substrate for nanowire growth is disclosed which comprises: (a) depositing a buffer layer on a substrate; (b) treating the buffer layer with boiled water or steam to enhance interactions between the buffer layer and catalyst particles; and (c) depositing catalytic particles on a surface of the buffer layer. Methods to develop and use this catalytic-coated nanowire growth substrate are disclosed.
