近年来，半导体无机纳米线、纳米管和纳米纤维作为纳米级电子学、光电子学、化学/生物/光学传感以及能量收集、存储和转换等领域的潜在构建块得到了广泛的研究。除了传统的光刻技术等自上而下的方法外，纳米线通常通过自下而上的方法生长，如溶液生长，模板引导合成，和气-液-固工艺。使用纳米线器件已经证明了上级性能。然而，大多数纳米线器件仅限于单个器件的演示，这是迈向纳米电子电路的第一步，不足以以低成本大规模生产。纳米线的可控、均匀组装和高可扩展性仍然是电子学材料和器件集成的主要瓶颈挑战之一。本文综述了纳米线器件组装技术的最新进展，包括流动辅助组装、Langmuir-Blodgett组装、吹泡技术、电场/磁场定向组装、接触/辊印、平面生长、桥接法、静电纺丝等，并介绍了它们在高性能柔性电子、传感器、光电子学、生物电子接口和纳米谐振器等方面的应用。
Semiconducting inorganic nanowires (NWs), nanotubes and nanofibers have been extensively explored in recent years as potential building blocks for nanoscale electronics, optoelectronics, chemical/biological/optical sensing, and energy harvesting, storage and conversion, etc. Besides the top-down approaches such as conventional lithography technologies, nanowires are commonly grown by the bottom-up approaches such as solution growth, template-guided synthesis, and vapor–liquid–solid process at a relatively low cost. Superior performance has been demonstrated using nanowires devices. However, most of the nanowire devices are limited to the demonstration of single devices, an initial step toward nanoelectronic circuits, not adequate for production on a large scale at low cost. Controlled and uniform assembly of nanowires with high scalability is still one of the major bottleneck challenges towards the materials and device integration for electronics. In this review, we aim to present recent progress toward nanowire device assembly technologies, including flow-assisted alignment, Langmuir–Blodgett assembly, bubble-blown technique, electric/magnetic- field-directed assembly, contact/roll printing, planar growth, bridging method, and electrospinning, etc. And their applications in high-performance, flexible electronics, sensors, photovoltaics, bioelectronic interfaces and nano-resonators are also presented.
