“ Considerable research has been conducted on new routes to controllable synthesis of 1D nanomaterials. The unique properties of as-obtained 1D nanomaterials can lead to applications in various fields such as electronics, magnetism, optics, and catalysis. Therefore, researchers working in the 1D nanomaterials are constantly striving to develop new fundamental science as well as potential applications. The importance of a platform that allows active researchers in this field to present their new development in a timely and efficient manner is, therefore, necessary. ”

“ Production techniques include a hydrothermal reaction, reducing method, chemical vapor deposition, spinning method, and microemulsion system. Carbon nanotubes have attracted most research interest, maintaining their comfortable leading positions. ”
