We report surface-guided growth of non-planar nanowires on functional substrates offers the new opportunity to precisely control their diameter, length, density and alignment, which will greatly benefit their direct integration into practical devices for large-scale applications. However, control of noble metal nanowires growth and arrangement remains a great challenge, and the mechanistic understanding is still limited. Herein, we choose Pt as a model material system to study the synthesis conditions required to control the in situ growth of aligned Pt nanowires on flat titanium substrate via a one-step and room-temperature green chemical synthesis process in aqueous solution. Most importantly, it is for the first time discovered that ordered nanoarrays and self-assembled nanoflowers can be directly grown on flat Ti substrate by merely adjusting the reaction times, without use of any soft/hard templates, surfactants and organic solvents. The proposed surface-guided growth mechanisms for nanoarray and nanoflower formation in this study may shed light on understanding of oriented arrangement/assembly of one-dimensional Pt nanowires into desirable morphologies for a variety of practical device applications.
