This review presents the advancement in synthesis and characterisation techniques of one-dimensional nanostructures (ODNS) as well as their potential for novel applications. In the first section of the review, the authors describe the synthesis techniques of one-dimensional nanostructures, i.e. template based synthesis, vapour phase growth, solution based growth and other innovative techniques. Various characterisation techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are described in detail, followed by a comprehensive review of the unique material properties of one-dimensional nanostructures. The final section of this paper presents current state of the art chemical and biological sensing applications as well as other potential technologies which may emerge due to the advantage nanomaterials have over their bulk counterparts.
