Devices built from three-dimensional nanoarchitectures offer a number of advantages over those based on thin-film technology, such as larger surface area to enhance the sensitivity of sensors, to collect more sunlight to improve the efficiency of solar cells, and to supply higher density emitters for increased resolution in flat panel displays. Three-dimensional nanoscale assembly has already been used to generate many prototypes of devices and sensors, including piezoelectric nanogenerators based on ZnO nanowire arrays, photovoltaic devices based on silicon nanowire array p-n junctions, and highly sensitive gas sensors based on metal oxide nanowire arrays among others. Three-Dimensional Nanoarchitectures: Designing Next-Generation Devices describes state-of-the-art synthesis, integration, and design strategies used to create three-dimensional nanoarchitectures for functional nanodevice applications. With a focus on synthesis and fabrication methods for three-dimensional nanostructure assembly and construction, coverage includes resonators, nanophotonics, sensors, supercapacitors, solar cells, and more. This book is an essential reference for a broad audience of researchers in materials science, chemistry, physics, and electrical engineering who want the latest information on synthesis routes and assembly methods. Schematics of device integration and mechanisms as well as plots of measurement data are included.

From the self-cleaning properties of the lotus leaf to smartphones that have hundreds of millions times more processing power than computers that sent mankind to the moon, the importance of nanotechnology is beyond dispute. Throughout the last couple of decades, the ever increasing demand for technology have driven not only the quest for new nanomaterials, but also efficient ways to produce them. In this work, novel methods towards producing complex nanomaterials is presented: from molecules to product. In the first part, a method to synthesize quantum dots (QD) from molecular precursors using ultrasound, in an emulsion system under controlled temperature, is presented. This method offers remarkable temporal control, leading to on-demand synthesis of QDs, and has 10x production capacity compared to the typical single-phase sonochemical synthesis of QDs. In the second part, a general bottom-up method to assemble two different kinds of nanoparticles together by engineering the nanoparticle surface is presented, which opens the path towards scalable production of multifunctional nanomaterials. Finally, a specific application of surface engineering and particle assembly is demonstrated in the context of reducing the brittleness of ceramic membranes for energy storage applications.
