The high surface-to-volume ratios of nanoscale material structures makes them ideal for sensing and energy storage applications. For optimized functionality in these applications, nanostructures should be ordered and must be electrically interconnected. We are developing a broad range of methods for creation of ordered arrays of nanodots and nanowires with electrical connectivity and electronic functionality. These are being incorporated in both sensing and energy storage/buffering devices that can be integrated into low-power autonomous systems.
