【 摘 要 】

Metal oxide nano-microstructures are applied in photocatalytic surfaces, sensorsor biomedical engineering, proving the versatile utilization of nanotechnology.However, more complex or interconnected nano-microstructures are still seldomlymet in practical applications, although they are of higher interest, due toenhanced structural, electronic and piezoelectric properties, as well as severalcomplex biomedical effects, like antiviral characteristics. Here we attempt topresent an overview of the novel, facile and cost-efficient flame transportsynthesis (FTS) which allows controlled growth of different nano-microstructuresand their interconnected networks in a scalable process. Various morphologies ofnano-microstructures synthesized by FTS and its variants are demonstrated. Thesenano-microstructures have shown potential applications in different fields andthe most relevant are reviewed here. Fabrication, growth mechanisms andproperties of such large and highly porous three-dimensional (3D) interconnectednetworks of metal oxides (ZnO, SnO2, Fe2O3)nano-microstructures including carbon based aerographite material using FTSapproaches are discussed along with their potential applications.
