We review critically the advances in the synthesis of colloidal nanowires that have occurred over the past three years, with a focus on those that produced very thin (or "ultrathin") nanowires (similar to 2-3 nm in diameter or less). We discuss the importance of these ultrathin nanowires, especially in light of the emerging evidence of their topological properties and their potential similarities with polymers.

Abstract

We review critically the advances in the synthesis of colloidal nanowires that have occurred over the past three years, with a focus on those that produced very thin (or "ultrathin") nanowires (similar to 2-3 nm in diameter or less). We discuss the importance of these ultrathin nanowires, especially in light of the emerging evidence of their topological properties and their potential similarities with polymers.
