The variety of porous solid materials that can be used as templates for nanostructure synthesis has been reviewed by Ozin (1992). In the template-assisted synthesis of nanowires, the pores or voids of the template are filled with the chosen material using a number of approaches. Nanowires have been derived via pressure injection, electrochemical deposition, and vapor deposition, as described in the following sections. 

From the aforesaid, it might be assumed that the discussed method of carbon nanostructure synthesis is sufficiently productive. It allows the production of nanostructures and composites based on them with different morphology, different... 

The technological chain of transformations, that are undergone by the initial carbon-containing reagents in the course of carbon nanostructure synthesis (by any of three methods), is shown in Fig. 12.

The prevention of this surface energy increase is a big challenge in nanostructure synthesis to oppose aggregation due to van der Waals forces and Brownian motions. Two methods to prevent this phenomenon have been developed electrostatic and steric stabilization. The first mechanism makes the system kinetically stable and the second provides thermodynamic stability (Bbnnemann and Richards 2003). 

The nanostructures can be deposited into the nano-pores by electrodeposition or sol-gel deposition methods. The advantages of being low cost and repeatable, together with their potential compatibility with silicon technologies, make these nanostructure synthesis procedures interesting. Despite its simplicity, template-based growth is characterized by the production of polycrystalline nanowires, which can limit their potential for both fundamental studies and applications. 

The nanostructures synthesis from organometallic unstable precursors can occur under controlled conditions. As a result, the nanoparticles have been specified by size, its distribution, stoichiometry and shape. The choice of organometallic compounds ligands can not only define the character of resulting cationic complex inorganic phases, the morphology of future nanoparticles (spheres, rods, cubes, wires), but can also affect their self-organization in one-, two-and three-dimensional clusters [338]. This approach is fruitful for the synthesis of nanoparticles of metals and alloys, simple and multication oxides and other compounds that exhibit ferroic properties.
