Molecular conductors nanowires

Conductive polymers have received increasing interest in the last decade due to their potential applications. The synthesis of molecular conductors, for example, is a field of intensive research with the purpose of producing objects in the nanometer scale. Therefore, control of the morphology of conducting polymers is very challenging for the production of molecular wires (nanowires) or tubes. Appropriate templates for the confined polymerization of conductive polymers are required to give them a controlled shape and dimension. 

Growth of molecular inorganic conductors and superconductors as films or nanowires is mainly conducted by electrodeposition due to the physico-chemical properties of the precursors and the necessary electrochemical activation to produce the conductive phase.
