title: Scalable alignment of CdS nanowires based on efficient roll-on transfer technique.
abstract: A roll-on transfer strategy is developed to enable large-scale and uniform assembly of CdS nanowires on various rigid and flexible substrate materials. In this method, the CdS nanowires were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The dispersed CdS NWs could be firstly aligned and selectively deposited at the micro/nanochannels between aligned nanofibers on the surface of the donor roller as a result of evaporation-induced flow and capillary action, and then the directional and aligned transfer of the CdS NWs from the donor roller to a receiver substrate via roll-on transfer technique. Finally, a device structures consisting of the nanowire channel and two metal electrodes was fabricated. The electrical property of this device was observed.
