“…Recent developments in the synthesis of three-dimensional (3D) networks made of interconnected nanowires (NWs) and nanotubes (NTs) offer new perspectives for various nanodevices and nano-electronics [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ] for applications such as energy harvesting and storage systems [ 3 , 6 , 9 ], sensing devices and actuators [ 4 , 7 ], catalysts [ 1 ], electrochromic elements [ 10 ], solar cells [ 11 ], biosensors and bio-analytical devices [ 12 , 13 ], and spin caloritronics devices [ 14 , 15 ]. Their unique architecture offers advantageous mechanical and geometrical properties such as a good mechanical stability of the self-standing nanostructures, high surface over volume ratio, and lightness to the network films.…”
