Abstract
Methods for growing a three-dimensional nanorod network in three-dimensional growth spaces, including highly confined spaces, are provided. The methods are derived from atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes, but use higher temperatures and extended pulsing and/or purging times. Through these methods, networks of nanorods can be grown uniformly along the entire inner surfaces of confined growth spaces.
